Something a Little Different

As I sit here making my grocery shopping list for next week's feast, I am thankful for the abundance and variety of food available to us at the grocery store. Although I really enjoy gardening, I'm so glad I don't HAVE to garden/hunt/gather food just for survival!

Today's card is for Operation Write Home.  It is past the deadline for Christmas cards now, and we're on to Valentine's Day!  This isn't exactly a Valentine, but I'm sure it expresses the feelings of probably 99.9 percent of our deployed service members. The tag reads "In my thoughts 24/7."

Don't forget to vote today (and every day) for Operation Write Home over at Joann's Craft for a Cause Contest!

Two Days in a Row!

This was a fun card to make for a not-so-funny occasion. A very good friend of mine, who shall remain nameless to protect her identity (no, it wasn't BFF), had to have surgery to repair her, um.....well, let's just say "nether region".  Needless to say, she hasn't been able to sit comfortably, so naturally I had to choose a chair for her card.  And not just any chair, but a nice, hard, wooden chair.  Well, it really wasn't my choice.....it's just that all the images in this stamp set (Have a Seat) are of lovely wooden chairs, with nary a comfy cushion on any of them!

Anyhoo, I printed the inside of the card on the printer.  It said "I hope you are sitting comfortably very soon, my taut-keistered friend!"  She's been calling herself a tight-@$$ since the surgery. 

Now I need to make a really special card for my mom, who is having her kidney (and possibly a rib) removed tomorrow.  Please keep her in your prayers!
