Hello everyone!  It's been a darned difficult year for me. The symptoms of my disease reared their ugly heads again and put me out of bear making comission for a while. I must have a half dozen projects I'm trying to finish up. Being laid low is not fun, and makes life in general difficult. I'm slowly recovering financially as well, illness puts a strain on the budget, ugh. Anywho, you'll be seeing some new bears from me hopefully shortly, yay! Hope the rest of you are having a wonderful new year, I've got my fingers crossed this is a better one for me!  bear_tongue  bear_original

Prayers for a continuing to recover ! May I ask what disease?
I have a thyroid disease(Grave's Disease), it's been in remission for almost 5 years now and I am not taking any meds for it so am very thankful for that. I do hope you continue with getting better, glad to see  you here.

Welcome back, Shannon.
I'm glad you are feeling a bit better and are ready to make bears again.  Just the act of creating always makes me feel better!
Hugs,

jissy,


I have something called Neural Sarcoidosis, it affects the nervous system. I'm on medication to send it into remission, but it's slow going. One of these days I'll be back to almost normal, lol.  bear_tongue
