Feb-Mar Paint the Barn Challenge Free Kits (click here to see)

Do you have fibromyalgia (FMS)or know someone who does?? It seems that many scrappers do, including me. Scrapbooking is a wonderful outlet for creativity and forming friendships without expending too much energy which FMS sufferers do not have to spare. Winter is the worst time for me with the many storms that pass through the Midwest and into Michigan. The days just before the storm tend to be days of significant muscle pain, fatigue, lack of concentration (brain fog) and often depression. If you watch the news in the US you will know that we have had quite a series of storms that have also hit Michigan before they've moved on to Pennsylvania, Virginia, W Virginia and New York which have been very hard hit this year. A friend asked me recently if I was ok because I hadn't been out and about much. Do I tell you all this to gain sympathy?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! But to increase understanding for anyone who suffers from chronic diseases/syndromes that can be devastating while not appearing to be 'sick' at all. :( I was several days late posting this challenge this month because I just didn't feel like doing anything even though I had a color palette ready. Today the sun is shining and that helps and no storms are on their way!! I even went out and made a, hopefully last of the year, snowman LOL The snow is melting pretty fast with the 39 degree temperature today. Yay!!!!!!!!

So here is the palette
