Sneezie - Wheezie

I am in need of a "Get Well Soon" card for a friend.  September was a rough month for my friends and family.  I used all six of my back-up get well cards for the various illness and surgeries.  Thank heavens it's October, maybe we will get a break from sickness (though considering it's the start of flu season, prolly not!)

This is "Sick Chick" from Designed2Delight.  Cute huh?!!

I also wanted to share how much our latest baby has grown.  Holli has almost doubled in size.  TJ adores her and spends most mornings running and playing with her outside.  I wonder if he will still want to do this on tomorrow when we get our first snowfall!

Have a great weekend.

Get Well Tom!

I needed a get well soon card and since it's for a man, I wanted it to be silly.  I immediately thought about AI's Dotty.  Isn't she a hoot?

And ... since the kids have Science camp in the mornings, I had some time to peruse some blogs.  I was challenged by both The Pink Elephant's challenge of "orange" and I really liked Lou's sketch at Fetch-A-Sketch this fortnight.  I decided to try to incorporate both into my card.

I don't use orange often but I really like how this card turned out!

A Manly Get Well Card

Ken wanted to give a homemade card to his boss who is in the hospital. So he dug through the stash to find a get well soon card and .... came up empty. Oh there are cards in the file, but none that fit his specifications. All the get wells I have are either pink or cutesy. Apparently it's just wrong to give pink mice and little bunnies to manly bosses. Who knew?!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Bugaboo
Paper: This and That, sewing machine, band-aid button

Freedom

Today ... it's gloomy and getting ready to snow, so I gave myself a bit of freedom in my crafting. No sketches to follow, colors or stamps to use, nothing but me, me, ME!

I wanted to use this yummy paper that I got from my Secret Sister. She also gave me another Pure Innocence stamp to use but I liked the paper so much that I wanted to paper piece. Her image was darling but had no opportunities to piece.

This month, I need 4 birthday cards, and two more Valentine's day cards which is why I chose to make a get well soon card. What?? I know, but it was all about me today!

Hope your day is all about YOU.

Supplies:
Stamps: Pure Innocence by LORi Designs
Accessories: MS punch, nesties, copics.

Get Well Soon Wen

My bestie is having surgery today and I am thinking about her, wishing I were with her.

I met Wendy in high school. Our moms were friends and kept talking about how much in common we had and well, wouldn't stop trying to get us together (apparently Claudia and Bev were thwarted matchmakers in another life). So in desperation to get them to just stop talking about how "nice" the other girl was ... we met. Guess what? They were right.

Almost 30 years later ... we're still friends, home girls, sistahs from otha mothas. We've made it through high school, college, dating, marriage, kids, divorce, diabetes and the ugly "c" word. I anticipate that we will have another 30 years of friendship. We'll be the two old bags at the home wearing mismatched clothes and arguing over whether "zoot" is an acceptable Scrabble word. Love ya, doll.
