With the current world crisis it is easy to get depressed, loney and 'down in the dumps', holding each other up and trying to keep incentive flowing and mojo going is hard. Isolation can take over whether you have a partner or not..Take a walk outside in your garden, play with your pets, take a break, and just be thankful you are okay. Go back inside make your favourite drink/food, set a goal of what you will create that day and go for it...
Easy said that done but we need to keep sanity at bay... keep the positive.

I quietly sneaked up on my boy outside the laundry door having time out and sleep after a morning's play chasing the rake while I tried to do some raking of the leaves on the back lawn...he is now pooped 😀 this is his fav spot as it's close to my craft room and it's nice and cool there. [he's not in a cage!!]

Such a beautiful card Annie, and yes, we have to take care of each other, especially old and lonely people. And don't give up hope !! Oh, Monte looks gorgeous, I'm also very glad to have my little Tipsi ! Love, Enny
Słodka wiosenna wróżka :) bardzo pozytywna kartka :) Monte jest słodki :)
U nas tez jest wielki stres, wszyscy siedzą w domu. Super, że masz domek i ogród. Ja mogę tylko wyjść na balkon. Ale mam wszystko co potrzeba, jest dobrze :)pozdrawiam, trzymaj się zdrowo :)
Such a pretty card Annie, full of sweetness and sunshine with those lovely colours, beautiful image and flowers.
Dogs always do find the best places for their naps! The coolest places in summer and the cosiest ones in winter....preferably as close to their people as possible!
You are right Annie, it's important to stay calm and positive, keep ourselves busy and be as supportive as we can to those who are struggling with the situation.
Take care my friend.

Very wise words for us all Annie, in these difficult times we must keep calm and help those that may find life harder than others. Wish I could do more than I am, but time is very limited. Keep sharing and posting Annie sweetness is indeed displayed in your card and especially from Monte.
Stay Safe Hugs Tracey xx
Such a very pretty card xx
Wonderful card!
Your cards are so beautiful Annie. I love the image and the pretty, floral background. Thank you for your visit to my blog, the sweet comment and for becoming a follower. Am following you now as well. x
A beautiful card Annie, such a pretty image and lovely papers.
Monte does look a bit tired, Ramsey has just had a lovely run down the woods and is now playing in the garden with Paul - he will give in eventually, not if he can help it though!

We're all feeling the depression of being cooped up indoors but hopefully this will soon pass. Lovely card again today Annie, and Monte is such a handsome lab! What a beautiful expression on his face :)
Great card Annie and lovely pics.
Self isolation is easy compared to the lockdown which will surely come - at least we have crafting to keep us occupied! Stay safe. x
Wise words Annie and they obviously inspired this lovely card. Lovely pics of Monte.
Stay Safe, Avril xx
I totally agree with your opening comment Annie x.
Togo fairy is striking and beautiful and so is your card. The colouring is fabulous and the stacking of the die cuts adds wonderful dimension to your ever so pretty card x. So glad Mr Monte is not in a cage!!....LOL x.
A super post Annie and words that mean so much to us all these days.
Its a lovely card and a real pretty image. Monte looks as handsome as he always does, super photos.
Stay safe.

Another gorgeous card Annie. I love seeing Monte, he really is growing up!! Wise words about self isolation too. Stay well xx
Your card is absolutely stunning my friend!! :) I love that image and your pretty die cut frame with the flowers! Having a furry friend around to help you relax is fabulous! I sure miss my sweet Mocca especially in times like this, but my hubby helps keep me laughing and smiling for sure! Take care my friend! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful card Annie, love this sweet image. Your words are so true, need to keep our spirits up in these worrying times. Take care and stay safe.

What a lovely sweet card. Great image, paper and flowers.
We are blessed having a hobby like ours, especially in a difficult time like this. So we won't get bored and we can encourage other people with a card we made.
Hi Annie, a very pretty card and beautifully coloured, she is just lovely.
You've captured Monty beautifully, he's such a handsome boy.
Thank goodness for card making and knitting in my case as I've lost my other forms of therapy, the aqua aerobics and singing, but I've got Alistair and Teallach. Keep yourself safe, Kate x
Hi Annie,
your card is wonderful. And mr Monte..so lovable!
Your card is just lovely!!!Stay Safe, Annie.
Have a wonderful day,

love your little Toga Fairy Annie, the frame looks like it was made for her :)
Monty look like he's enjoying the sunshine :)
what would we do without crafting these days
She is sweet all in yellow, love how you framed her and the pretty flowers with the pearl touches!, she pretty papers too!
I agree we need to get out when we can and keep very busy, have a schedule or routine too. Always start and end the day on all you are thankful for :) take care...
Very beautiful.

Wonderful card and die, and great reminder of how we can get out and be safe.
Pretty card with some of my favorite paper. I love Monte. It's hard to be down with my dogs around. I miss having lunch with friends, but otherwise doing okay. Glad to have Rich and the dogs and our neighbors to visit with outside at a safe distance. We're doing great so far!
Such a sweet card, Annie! I am enjoying seeing your pencil coloring.
Hugs Monica
Ah, Annie, take care of yourself. Your tips are very helpful. I love your gorgeous card, but I love the pics of "your boy" even more. I think after all this craziness dies down, I'm looking for a family member like him. Thanks also for joining us at CRAFT Challenge this week and for bringing a big smile to my face with your wonderful card and photos!
Super layout aNNie. So pretty.
Hello to Monte. I can imagine him 'helping' in the garden. As you know I was babysitting my granddaughter's lab and he helped me to. Why do they always look so sad in a photo. He's gorgeous.
