Well, it will be soon! ;-) I know I have been MIA here on my blog but family and work obligations kept me busy. I had an early childhood conference to attend this weekend and then went to visit my 98 year old Grandmother. I wish I could say it was a joyous event but it was rather dreary visiting her in a nursing home. She currently has a gangrene toe that the doctor said would require amputation. She's not eating and is very weak so surgery is questionable. If you are a believer in the power of prayers I would appreciate one for her. She was dreaming of eating while I sat there with her which broke my heart. I truly don't know what direction she will seek
My Grandmother was born on Christmas Eve and today's card is for her. I am really praying that she pulls through for another birthday. For you Grandma:
The new week at Crafty Creations brings us a new challenge and it's all about color. Red, brown, and green. The fabulous Melissa is hosting this week with Stitchy Bear Stamps as our sponsor. A huge congrats to Melissa for her recent design team promotion to Tiddly Inks.
My card is the Christmas Corner digital image colored in with markers. I used a gold metallic pen that has not seen paper in years. I forgot the odor they emit.
