Note to self........FMS 23



I couldn't wait to work with Tui's sketch this week but I kept putting it off because I wasn't feeling well.   As the Freshly Made Sketches deadline approached my cold was in full swing - sneezing, coughing, runny nose - you know the feeling!  I finally sat down at my desk with a glass of orange juice and a box of tissues and hoped for the best. My cards are often in the mail by the time they are posted here because I usually make them with someone in mind.  This one however has not been mailed - I am afraid if I sent it to anyone it could be considered germ warfare..............

Divine Intervention......PPA129


These flowers from Up in the Air are sweet for sure but I have a flower story that is sweeter. A bit of background first - my mom is 86 and spends the winter in Florida.  My dad died 8 years ago.


I take no credit for the following words - I copied them directly from my daughter's Facebook post:  

Erin Callahan Wheeler
called my Gram tonight to make sure that she got the Valentine's flowers that we sent her ... she said that she did, and they made her cry because they are calla lilies (those were her wedding flowers and my grandfather would also get them for her over the years). But here's the thing ... we didn't order calla lillies, we ordered stargazer lilies (below). Now I'm crying ... and that my friends, is divine intervention.

Starring.......FMS22


Last Monday I was sorting my stamp sets and watching the new show Smash.  Before long there was no sorting going on. I was drawn right into the show. I loved it! Katharine McPhee is wonderful in it.  Afterwards I went back to "work". Sitting atop the pile of stamp sets was Workshop Words that was given out at Convention. And there it was........You're A Star!  


Be a star at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
