No the two don't go together....I love a good sketch and I will get to that in a moment but first.....the pain in the neck.....literally...
Around 4:30 this morning I woke up with a searing pain in my neck and upper back/right shoulder. I don't know if it was the way I was sleeping or if it had something to do with my computer work yesterday (doing the same mundane thing with the mouse, over and over in the same position), but it HURTS...like the dickens, so much so that I was literally in tears at one point. I have a sort of hunchback thing going on by the looks of the bulge between my neck and right shoulder and my head mobility is very limited.
After gathering my composure, I popped a couple Aleve and tried to go back to sleep. I can only lie in one position, flat on my back, completely straight, with a pillow propping up my head a bit...pretty much like a dead person in a coffin which is not how I typically sleep. I'm a curled up in a ball on my side sort of sleeper. After a while, thankfully I did manage to get some rest after the Aleve, but when I woke up again, the pain was still quite strong.
I don't know how long this ailment is going to last but I surely covet your prayers. It's going to effect my ability to complete many day to day chores and possibly even my ability to drive. I can sit and type (thank you, Lord), but no heavy lifting or quick movements. It really hurts even when I take a deep breath....and that is after the Aleve. :( Why does this sort of thing always happen on the weekend?....that's what I'd like to know. Pffft... ;)
Ah well, this too shall pass.....anyway, onto that tasty sketch....
Today over at The Sweet Stop the girls are featuring tasty treats with the sketch. I thought I'd play along so I made a tasty gingerbread man card.
I've been making lots of Christmas cards lately and using a lot of the traditional red and green, so I thought this time I'd go with a softer version, pink and pale green. I think these two colors work very nicely together.
I used some creative liberty and changed the sketch up just a bit, but it's still recognizable. Don't you think?

Your card is adorable! Those gingerbread men look way to cute to eat. I love the fun bow with the button. I much prefer non-traditional colors for Christmas cards and the pink and green are perfect for this card. LOVE IT!
You will definitely be in my prayers. I've woken up like that before and it is not fun. And yeah, it usually seems to happen on the weekend for me too. Ugh! Hugs!

Aww, what an adorable little card! Love the papers and color scheme - those cuties are colored perfectly and the sheer ribbon is the icing on the cake.
Will definitely lift you up in prayer - hoping the pain will subside quickly and you can get back to your old self!
