had some fun this morning… after going out and shovelling the droppings from the city snow plows…

been planning to colour the letters for these chocolate ornaments that I received from Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers…

finally got around to it… sadly there was no purple in the paintbox🤪…

I am pleased with how they came out… I used some of my gifts from last year in a slightly different way and enjoyed the time…

now they are on the tree…

while I was setting out decorations for Christmas I came across snowflake cards that I’ve saved over the years…

I decided to put them up on the bathroom door and they looked pretty good…

today, I was doing a little crafting – embroidering a couple of gift tags that were part of my Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers envelope…

once I finished that, I felt inspired to put a frame around the snowflake cards… used some of the washi tape that my daughter has sent me over the years…

might have been better with a wider frame, but there wasn’t enough of the tape…

fun to do a bit of work with my hands…

anyone who follows me knows that I am trying to keep my diabetes in check with diet and exercise only…

when I started I absolutely gave up any type of sugar… that was hard, and also included potatoes, one of my favourite foods, lol…

over the years I have loosened up my diet to include some of the things that had been removed… always done in consultation with my doctor, so that my life was less focussed on the fear of my A1C number…

at my last appointment, my number had gone up to the edge of needing meds…

so, I cut back all sugar once again, which meant that I wasn’t having any chocolate;-(…

I was excited a few days ago to learn about Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers (through Patreon)… it is a monthly subscription that will send me an envelope of goodies each month… all chocolate-themed, but no actual chocolate…

a great way to soothe my chocolate craving, without any of the sugar content, and provide support for an artist…

there is even an app for Patreon so I can see any items going up about Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers (also on Instagram @happymailforchocolatelovers).

looking forward to see what will be in my first envelope;-)…
