Sorry I missed a couple days there but I'm still working with a hectic schedule and unfortunately my card making and blogging is having to take a back seat to everything else. Gosh, I can't even tell you how much I miss it though... the back and forth and sharing of ideas that we have going on within this wonderful little online community of stampers and colorists. I can't wait to find more time to both create and check out what all of my wonderful crafty peeps have been creating as well. :)
Fingers crossed, I'm hoping that that time is not too far off. Mom has been doing much better this past week, even getting off of oxygen completely and they are reducing her antibiotics as well. She seems to get stronger every day and she is doing really well with the physical therapists. Her goal is to get home as soon as possible and the rest of the fam and I all want that too. So, knock on wood, it looks like she may only have a week or two left in the hospital... I hope, I hope, I hope.
My card today is actually one I made earlier for the sneak peeks over on the ATS blog last week. I'm so glad that so many of you seem to have fallen in love with these tiny Sweet November fairies, and I'm so glad that Christine convinced me to turn them into rubber after so many years. I paired these two up with some yummy Doodlebug scraps and that Doodlebug/Hampton Arts cake stand stamp. If you couldn't tell, I was having fun finding different types of containers to have the fairies interact with on these preview cards. ;)
Well, I hope that you all are doing well and keeping cool in this record breaking heat. I promise to chat at'cha again soon!

ReplyDeleteHaving so much stress and worry about a loved one can really drain your creativity, not just your time and energy. It's tough to let your mind drift when your emotions are roiling. I'm glad there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
