Depression steals my creativity...

along with my energy, motivation and general desire to do anything or be anything other than a pile of useless cells, wasting skin, taking up space on my couch, watching the minutes tick by.

And that pretty much describes what I've been doing for the last couple weeks, give or take a few minutes here and there.

Were it not for my sister, my daughter would not have been fed and cared for. And were it not for my mom, I would not have been fed and cared for, since there were literally some days that I did not even have the energy to make myself something to eat.

Thankfully on Friday I felt a teeny bit better, and had Mercedes come home and over the last couple days, I've slowly felt the desire to participate in life return at least in some form.

So I'm sorry that I haven't written much lately, but I had pulled into my shell and that was where I stayed until a couple days ago, and I am just now slowly starting to poke my head out.

So, not much more to say, just a bunch of pics of the things that keep me going.

First and Foremost, my Princess...when all else fails, she will always keep me going...we did a little photo shoot yesterday with some roses that she got from her daddy. We got a bunch of pics that I love. Here's just one of them....



This was just me fooling around with my camera and I was really happy with how this pic turned out, so I wanted to share it with you! Isn't this rose gorgeous! This is my favorite color of roses!
This was just a quickie gift tag.







The card is 3 1/2x8 and I made the envelope too.


Another 3 1/2 x 8






One of the hardest things for me when I'm depressed is going out, so it was tough to make it out to Mercedes choir concert, but it was worth it when she got this look on her face when she saw me in the audience!










Here she is singing her little heart out!






Another choir pic!
