LESLIELOU ~ I have heard others say that prednisone causes them to balloon up or gain weight; there is a thread about this in the Dieting with Obstacles forum. I am surprised by how many people are on that medicine; but I am not that familiar with it -- I guess it is not commonly known up here in Canada. Maybe here it is called by another name like cortisone or something like that. Anyways, glad you joined us; there's lots of support here.
CATHY ~ don't worry about that; we all get mixed up a bit sometimes. It is never wrong to laugh at your own jokes: as a matter of fact, we all do it!
Well, we had another day with some glorious
today; that was a real treat for us with these cold temps. DH and I spent the day working on our Creche. DH then drilled a hole on top of the creche for our Bethlehem star and it looks good right on the top at the front.
DH and his friend made me a crib for my baby Jesus this AM; then I found a blue blanket to wrap him in and we had an artificial grass wreath to wrap around the crib too. After some thinking, I decided to do my Joseph and Mary on thick cardboard pieces; first, I had to draw them on, which took all afternoon. After we took a break for dinner, I spent the evening coloring them in. I took some pictures that I will download and resize tomorrow so you all can see our creation. I think it turned out pretty well really.
My fingers (and my right arm) were getting numb at some points from all the drawing and coloring. I used a mixture of mediums: marker, pencil and wax crayons, and the best of all was some oil crayons. DH is just a tad bit concerned about it standing up to the elements; he is worried about the winds and snow; I am more concerned about them staying dry, but the stuff I used are all water repellent so hopefully that will help a bit and it is pretty cold out there too.
We'll have to put our thinking caps on and find some way to hold them in there; but that can wait til another day. We did enuff for one day as it is ...
Actually, I just finished and DH just finished putting some plastic glue in all the cracks so that no water or snow can get inside and ruin our display. So far we haven't had to buy a thing for it, but we do need a flood light so that it can be seen from a distance; and we will pick one up as they just happen to be on sale this week, so I hope they have some left for us.
Anyways, just wanted to pop in here tonight to say hi -- sure hope you are all having a wonderful weekend; and please do take good care of yourselves ...
