Sweet (Sawyer) Saturday

A quick up date on our Sweet Sawyer - After 3 trips to the ER and a one day stay in the hospital in two days time, Sawyer is happily home again and doing well.  Hopefully this will be his last emergency.

It was hard to hear his screams as they worked on re-situating his feeding tube

And it made him so very tuckered out, but he still awoke from a deep sleep to vomit-a recurring problem he is having.  This last trip was due to the fact he was vomiting blood - poor little guy.

Thankfully they did not have to stay over night, and thankfully, Jeff had sick days he could use to be off work for the day.  We are all so very thankful for God's provision for all of them.  A surgical consult on Tuesday will determine when he will get a port in his tummy and be able to be done with the tube down his nose.

Thanks for stopping by!

Put a Smile on it!!

This is the 3x3 card that Gracie will find in her lunch box today!  The ACORNY THANK YOU stamp set is even cuter when you add a smile to it.

I used the PETITE PAIRS stamp set for the greeting and the inside coordinating stamp says "...Begin with you").  The face was hand drawn.

Thanks for stopping by 

and HAPPY FRIDAY!

Special Request

Another special request for a Thank You Note.

Inspired by Pinterest I used the retired Four Feathers stamp set along with the DOTTY ANGLES and  TEENY TINY WISHES.  I ran out of the music note Designer Paper but...I had some music note wrapping paper on hand and it came in very handy for this card.  The feathers are embossed with GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER and it is wrapped with GOLD BAKERS TWINE.

Origami Owl Inspired

This card (cased by Sam Donald) made me think of the Origami Owl style jewelry and since my niece used to be a consultant for Origami Owl I thought this would be a perfect card for her birthday.

Simply Elegant!
I popped up each layer using dimensionals as well as the oval frame and the flowers.  The silver crinkles are what I pulled off the Silver Metallic Bakers Twine.  Some of the Basic Rhinestones are colored with the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities and some are left plain.

Sentimental Sunday

Yesterday morning my uncle passed into the arms of Jesus.  What a journey their family has been on for the last 5 years, but what a great testament to God's faithfulness.

This now leaves my mom and her "baby" brother as the only surviving siblings.  I was honored to be asked to make the sheet cakes to serve at his memorial service next week.

I thought this would be a good time to share a simple Sympathy card with you all, and just a heads up... this card will be out for the COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY class this week.

Rest in Peace Uncle Mike
