Blooming thanks

 I am not sure what kind of flowers these are supposed to be but when I saw these in this vase it reminded me of bringing in those spring blooms to enjoy indoors.

Once again from my coloring calendar images and hand written sentiment. I colored this one with my colored pencils.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, the next card I will be sharing, hubby helped me with what I will be using, one of his creations :)

Stockings Sweater

 In my stamp group this month our challenge was to use stockings on our cards.  Before my surgery that is what I was working on, but it is much to detailed so when I was looking through my coloring calendar images I found this sweater with stockings and I thought well this month I guess I will at least get one card made.

I colored it with markers and since this isn't going out in the mail right away, I will wait until I get to my stamps and will add a sentiment and maybe some other embellishments to the background :)

I hope you had a great weekend and the week ahead is a good one, we don't have any rain in the forecast for a few days so we will have some sunshine ahead!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

 Using another coloring calendar image, colored w/markers.

The purple in the background of this one and the last one I posted were on the actual image already, in the past I have used a knife blade to cut the center out where the scissors can't get into but haven't done that on these. More hand written sentiment, can't wait until I can get to my stamps and all my other goodies.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sending Thanks

 Once again using my coloring calendar image for this card, I had to write in the sentiment again, so I put a little faux stitching to give it a little something extra, going back to the basics! This too was colored with markers.

Doctor says everything is looking great, my toes are still all messed up looking and I still have quite a bit of bruising but the stitches are now out, I am allowed to get it wet, no more plastic bags when taking a shower!!! I can start walking on more of my foot, not just my heal but no weight on my toes yet, I will be going back in 3 weeks and getting x-rays to see how the healing is going. I am hopeful in another week I can be in my craft room for short periods :)

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, and as always for taking the time to stop by and brighten my day :)

Hugs,

Connie

Thanks

 Last post was the card I had finished before my surgery, I was hoping by now that I would be able to be in my craft room but can't go with my foot down for too long, so hubby brought out my coloring calendar images , some markers and colored pencils so that I could make up some thank you card that I wanted to do for friends. The first was the closest friend I met while we were stationed in England, her daughter cross-stitched a cute little hoop hanging for me.

I colored this one with markers, hand cut them out, and also hand cut the little tag and since I don't have stamps I hand wrote the sentiment.  Colored a dot with marker and then put some Nuvo glaze over it, that was something that hubby brought out to me thinking it was my glue bottle :) But it looks like there is a brad there. The paper was from my scraps pile, too hard to ask him to pick out paper for me.  He also took the picture for me to post on my blog.

I will have to say a big thanks he has been taking care of everything for me and working at the same time, and hasn't complained one bit, so thankful for him.

I do feel like I am seeing some improvement, seeing the doctor tomorrow so will see what he has to say.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Connie
