Nothing like a fresh start! A new little guy will be arriving in the our neighborhood soon and this card is ready to greet him! But he's not the only one starting anew. After eight weeks of physical therapy in a nursing home my mother has moved to assisted living! For the past two days I have been there to walk her to the cafeteria for lunch and dinner. Then I loiter in the hall and peek through the doorway to see if she is eating and chatting. I shouldn't have worried because today she told me to go home and that she knew perfectly well where to sit and had some new friends waiting for her! A fresh start is possible even when you are 90!
And you may have noticed that my blog got a fresh start today as well! The simple clean heading was designed by Lesley Croghan.......creator of Freshly Made Sketches! She has a great eye for design!
Someone else with a great eye for design - Kim Singdahlsen - drew our fun sketch this week! It has us going in circles at Freshly Made Sketches .......but if those circles make you dizzy feel free to change up those shapes! Have fun!
