A Speedy Recovery! FMS688

 

And another one of my cousins has had surgery this week so this little guy is off to Baltimore to wish him a speedy recovery.  Texts have been flying back and forth keeping everyone informed.  It truly is amazing how texting keeps us all in the loop instantly even though we are hundreds of miles apart! 

Hopefully I won't need another Get Well card for a while!  And hopefully you have time to play with Freshly Made Sketches this week! Jen Brum has a great sketch for us!

A Little Help From My Hens....FMS687

 

My cousin is recovering from surgery which has resulted in a few weeks of restricted activity.  Her husband has been stellar but she can't be left alone yet so an army has formed to help out with everything from meals to dog walking and general entertainment.  I am making a few of these for her to send to friends who have been terrific during a tough time!  

I just love these chicks!

Verena has  great sketch for us this week at FreshlyMade Sketches! Have fun with it - I did!

Stamp sets: Happy Hens (Gina K), Just Chicken In (TE), All Wired Up (SU!)

Ink: Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Pecan Pie

Follow Your Art....FMS686

 

I guess I took this sentiment to heart and followed my art instead of checking out Kim's sketch a bit more carefully. When I copied the sketch to post on my blog and read Kim's description I thought "Ohhhhhhhhh" so that's how it should be. But honestly that's the joy of creating - you never know where you will end up sometimes! I switched the sentiment I had used to "Follow your ART" because it seemed more fitting under the circumstances!  So follow your art and join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamps: Happiest Day (SU!), Sentiment from Impression Obsession

Screamin' Demons....FMS685

 

Roller coasters are not my thing but my kids and grandkids love them.  I hold the bags while they all board the Screamin' Demon or whatever a particular monstrosity is called! So this adorable set is perfect for "Emma's Stash Box" when she rummages in my craft room for birthday cards for her friends.

Meanwhile I entertained myself last week with axe throwing.  I have never thrown an axe in my life but I have now!  I was invited to a library staff gathering recently at The Hatchet House and had a great time.  And you thought librarians were just stuffy old ladies right?  After some instruction we were on our own.....it was great fun!

My very first throw that stuck.....

My very best throw.....

I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches - sure hope you like my sketch and throw down with us!
