whatever Barbie, 18, 19 or 22 we love you chatting and collaging. its the prednisone that keeps you awake at night

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Anne. 21 is right around the corner 🤣 you are so sweet, thank you again and I agree about that prednisone. YIKES !!

[@amyb82941]

💜💜💜 I’m so glad your tests have come back good! Great collage, too! Why is it that some people can make you laugh out loud as though you are in the same room? You, dear girl, are one of “those people”!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Amy. I'm so happy you could laugh along with me! I'd probably make you spit out your drink if we were together having a good laugh !! Oh dear .............. have a great week. xo

[@sherrybarfield8446]

I am really glad you have taken yourself out of the grave. You sound like you are feeling so much better and hopeful for getting back to Margaritaville. 💃💃💃 I really enjoy your art. You are a wonderful inspiration. I love that you can laugh at yourself. Your laughing made me laugh. Tooo Good!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Sherry. Yup, we have to laugh. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and joined me. I'm happy I can inspire you as well. I haven't thrown the dirt in the grave, keeping it open. One test came back today where i need to see a Pulmonologist so I'll be heading to Cleveland at some point. I'll explain in a video. Hugs, gf and enjoy your week. 🥰

[@donnanowland3163]

Simple and sweet collage. You met the challenge….albeit a week early. 😄😁🤣😂 I love your laughter over this oops. Laughter is the best medicine. So far your blood test results sound good. You are sounding more relaxed as you go the diagnosis journey. Patience really is helpful, I’ve found. Mine was MS - Multiple Sclerosis. It is what it is and I move forward through my life. You are, and will, with resilience move forward. Heck…. You mow you property on a tractor too. I didn’t mow all of it, but helped my husband when he was working a lot of hours. Anyway… today’s collage prompts were a challenge, yet you met the mark. Well done. 👏👏👏😎 PS ~ please continue to keep us up to date. 🤗🙏🤗

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Donna. I'll definitely keep you up to date. I'll be heading back to Cleveland to see a pulmonary specialist. One test came back today that is showing things my doc doesn't like and wants me to have it all checked out .... but not locally. I'm so sorry to hear about the MS ... I have an acquaintance in town, she went to school with my hubby, and she battles with MS every day. God bless her ....... she's a trouper and ever so sweet. She manages and enjoys like. God bless her. You take care and let's all keep lifting each other up. Have a lovely week, my friend. xo🥰

[@J0yb3ells]

I don't mind a week ahead! What a hoot! Glad your tests so far are good news. 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Joy. At least I don't have to worry about next weeks collage, but when I make 21 I'll apologize for being behind 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! You had me laughing out loud at the end of this video! So glad to hear that the test results you have back are good. Hang in there! The collage, albeit one week early, is very nice. Love the splatters. Have a wonderful Sunday! xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Joy ....... you are so nice and I'm really glad I could make you laugh, or at least laugh at me or along with me 🤣I'm happy you enjoyed the collage, a pretty simple week but simple is good ...... right? Have a wonderful week and as always, I so look forward to your creations over on IG. xoxo

[@BittyPenny]

Your discovery at the end was so hilarious and relatable. ✂️😂📄💕🙌🌸

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, gf !! I have no idea how this keeps happening .... LOL; I put nothing past me anymore!! TFW and have a wonderful day. xo

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I love this, Barbie! Your splatters turned out great. I’m glad you’re feeling better about your health. It can be scary. And I did enjoy week 22. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Susan, splatter queen .......... thanks for that compliment. I honestly thought of you when splattering and couldn't remember if you use watercolor paints or acrylics. Thanks for your kind compliment and I'm happy you enjoyed 22.🤣🥰🥰 see you soon!!

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns I usually use watercolors. They dry faster and aren’t as messy but I’ve used acrylics as well and gesso. 😊❤️

[@susanstemmet607]

Your laugh was so infectious, I was laughing out loud with you. Glad all your tests have been good. I have had a bad week with one daughter going into hospital last Sunday and then my other daughter went into hospital on Wednesday and had an emergency operation on Wednesday evening. I have now moved in with my daughter to help her recover from her op as she has been put off from work for 6 weeks. My other daughter is also home and is doing much better but she has a husband to take care of her. Been a very stressful week for me but managed to stay reasonably calm as I knew God was with me all the way. Two years ago I would have been a nervous wreck but with His presence, I knew I could trust Him. God bless you for the coming week and all the best for the rest of your results.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Susan, I will put you all on my prayer list. Oh my. My son ended up in the ER Saturday night around 9 pm and he and hubby didn't get home until 3:45 am. More troubles coming our way as well, and I did get one test back that I'm not happy with and will be making a trip to Cleveland to see a pulmonary specialist. I'll explain in an upcoming video. It's always something isn't it ......... I wish life could just merrily roll along ...... God bless you and your family, Susan. Prayers will start for all of you. Blessings and big hugs. ALSO ... thank you for taking the time to join in on this video ... you have your hands full so no worries about staying up to speed with what I'm doing over here. You take care of you and your loved ones. 🥰

[@susanstemmet607]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns Thank you so much Barbs. Your family is in my prayers too. Hope your son is better now. All the best for your visit to the pulmonary specialist. I also suffer from asthma and COPD with the right medication it is under control. God bless you and your family.

Barbie, I'm glad you took yourself out of the grave! Your laugh was just cracking me up. It's so nice to hear you laugh. I can't tell you how many times I don't know what day it is! Should we be worried! 🤣 Your page may be simple but it is very pretty. Love and hugs.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Shay ....... yes, simple is the best! JUST like me 🤣🤣 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and Shay, yes, I think we should be worried 🤣🤣🤣 hugs to one of my special gals!! xo

[@lanakristoff5188]

😂. Two of my favorite things hearing you laugh and bees 🐝. Keep doing what makes you happy. I am behind this week myself and I am in catch up mode. I like the frame on the bee wording. Really connects the whole theme nicely.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Lana!! Laughing is what I do best, other than giving birth to my twin boys 🤣 Today and tomorrow I am also in catch up mode so let's sit together and get it all done. TFW and I so love hearing from you. Have a wonderful week, gf 💕🩷💕

[@christine0nowell757]

You're such laugh 😃 oh dear i nearly wet my knickers ! lol. Week 22 was good, thankyou xx Fingers crossed 🤞 for the rest of your test results..have a great weekend. Xxx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Christine, oh dear ...... don't do that!! I'm so happy you enjoyed my mistake and were able to laugh along with me. Thanks for the crossed, good luck fingers ...... I did get one test back and I have to do a bit of research and will let everyone know what's up. Oh dear ....... more testing and another doc to see. Have a wonderful week and sending big hugs your way. xoxo

[@michcrafty8664]

I loved how this turned out. The Bee Happy is special to me. I laughed out loud with you, so entertaining 😂😂

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Mich. I'm happy you enjoyed this video and yup, some days I can be soooo entertaining. I'm happy everyone can laugh at me ....... or at least along with me. Hugs. xo❤

[@lvan4407]

You did a nice job even though it was next weeks but you can always be a week ahead now I really liked your Picture❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You are exactly correct. I can also look at it next week and say I'm a week behind 🤣🤣 Is the glass half full or half empty. Love your comment and I'll see ya real soon. xoxoxo

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Maybe you call the large beetle "Bertie" Bees always invoke summer to me,and you captured that in this collage ans also maybe the ideaof reading in the garden in summer.(Matt)P.s I once kept bees,do this collage brought back that memory. Glad all your test results came back as good

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and love the idea of Bertie !! Summer is a time for all bugs, bees and others, we all have that to look forward to, don't we !! Thanks for watching and I love your comment. Have a great day and see you soon.

[@myvagabondstyle]

Oh Barbie, you crack me up. Thanks for the ideas for week 22. 😂 Beautiful collage and can't wait to chat with you and catch up.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Run with it girl ....... I did not like these prompts and I can't wait to see what you do. Thanks for your wonderful complement and big hugs. xoxo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Barbie your week 22 is done and it turned out great so no worries! You are a hoot and I have to say my husband thinks we need a retired persons clock. It has the days of the week as opposed to the time of day. We are forever getting the days mixed up. So glad to hear your test are coming in and no real problems. That’s great news. Looking forward to seeing your week 21 next week. Have a grand week my friend 🥰

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

A clock for retired folks sounds like my cup of tea ........ my luck I'd forget the batteries and then I'd really be behind or ahead, whichever way you want to look at it. LOL LOL ...... TFW and one thing about you, Pam ..... you get me !!! xoxo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

[@csk5654]

LMAO I love your laugh gf! PTL that your test (so far) have come back normal. TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Cindy, so far so good, but one came back not so good and need some clarification.....which I will get. I'm so happy you could laugh along with me ...... it's better with friends !! xoxo hugs, gf

[@jonnawatson3944]

Thank goodness all is going in the right direction. I regards to your health

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

So far so good, but one test came back I have questions on. TFW and leaving a very kind comment. Hugs xo

[@MerryScraps]

What a wonderful collage! I love the bee paper! Very cool how you made it a pocket! I'm so glad your test are coming out good. It is good to hear you laughing. Your laugh is fabulous and makes me laugh along with you!!! I just did this one yesterday and used a giant bug that I had found in a book I got last week. I normally do not like bugs but when I was flipping through the book I saw it and loved it, weird! I had no idea I would need it so soon!😮

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Jeanna! A fun collage to make and now I can work on week 21 !! Have a great week and so happy you could laugh along with me .... I can't wait to see your bug !! xo

[@selinastephens5265]

Awesome as always with a bonus giggle ❤❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, thanks, gf 🌸🌿 I hope you are doing well and enjoying these wonderful summer like days. I'm so happy you were able to stop by and take a look. Have a wonderful day and sending good vibes to you. xo 🥰

[@mrsA805]

This is cool the way you folded it up at the bottom. I have that same background from a magazine but it just has the bottom part ( not the bee happy) Well you just crack me up…with mixing up the dates and laughing which is contagious 😂🤣

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I'm great at mixing things up, C ...... you should see me when I'm making cocktails! LOL TFW and I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. I'm happy you could laugh along with me. Next week I'll be behind schedule and we can laugh again. Hugs and I hope your eyes are seeing straight !! xo

[@linmims3049]

You crack me up Barbie! You had me holding my sides from laughing so hard. Nice page for week 22! lol!!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Lin, we all have to have a good laugh once in awhile and I can start it off....I'll be the volunteer for this one. 🤣TFW, gf and have a really great week. Next week, with 21 I'll now be behind a week.......only to confuse myself again. xo 🤣

[@juliaarmato3984]

Ya gotta laugh!!! 😁🤪 How about using your beetle for a surreal Beatle Mania? Could be fun. God bless

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Julia .... thank you so much and now I'm stumped as to exactly how I'd do that. Hmmmm 🤔I now have something to think about when I wake up at 2 am and can't get back to sleep!! TFW, gf and have a great week. xo
