Get Well


It has been quite a week! I am slowly getting my computer back up and running. I guess I don't have to clean out all of the junk - it did it for me :) I guess that is the bright side, yes? I am trying to get my address book back. That is the hardest part. I have friends and even some relatives who I have lost their emails and their addresses. I hope they send me an email. If you think I need your email or snail mail address, please get in touch with me. On another note, I had parent teacher conferences this week at school so I worked late on Wed. and Thurs. and got Friday off. The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Friday. Lucy and I took two long walks. And speaking of Lucy, she is three years old today! She had a special dinner and got to go for a long ride. It drizzled all day today so no walks for us. We went to a neighboring town and bought a John Deere riding lawn mower and snow blower attachment for it. Bill is unable to use the walk behind and can't shovel and was feeling useless so we thought this may help. He is tickled pink!

Yadayadayada... I am rambling and you came to see a card. Sorry. My card was made for a friend who had surgery Friday. He is my computer guy and got me all set up after the crash. It was such a simple card to make. My friends Joanne and Lynette both have made this type of card lately and I needed to try it. The sun stamp is from a BoBunny set called Barefoot & Bliss. The cattails are Penny Black. The sentiment is from a Verve set titled Wishing You. I used Momento ink, Tuxedo Black and Tangelo. The paper is Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie. The white cardstock is Papertrey Ink. Oh and I could not resist putting a little sparkle on the cattails with a clear Spica pen.

I will be anxious to hear what you think...

Until next time... Happy trails to you....

  8. Doesn't my Mom make the BEST cards!
    I can't believe Lucy is already 3yrs old, time flys by when we are having fun and she is FUN!
    I am also glad Dad got a riding lawn-mower, snow scooper because it will make him feel useful again, he HATED it when Mom mowed for him!!
