The rain left but the cool wind remained today so I was
pretty much grounded. I did take a chance and watered the garden this afternoon
when the wind went down a bit but that was it for me outside today. My heart if
heavy today after reading about the police officers gunned down in Moncton , N.B. this
morning by a mentally deranged man. This, a day after my own granddaughter was
attacked by her former friend and roommate (who hid her mental disorders for
awhile) and has a concussion and stitches in her face. (The girl is now in
jail) Please pray not only for those that were hurt and for the families of those
killed but for all the people who suffer from mental illnesses. Pray they get
help before they hurt someone else. Tis a sad world some days.
On a less serious note, I needed a thank you card for a
friend of mine who saved some card sleeves for me and this is what I sent her,
along with a quilting pattern I think she will enjoy making.
The image is a Magnolia stamp and all the oval and rectangle
dies are from Spellbinders. The image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and
then I painted on Glossy Accents over the tea cup to make it shiny like glass.
The sentiment was die cut with a Provo Craft die and then I just punched out a
flower from a piece of the left over blue paper and added a blue gem in the
centre. The paper is from the stash. Yup, still using the stash and yet it
never seems to go down.
That’s all for a cool Thursday.
Cheers
Violet

ReplyDeleteI wonder sometimes about the news...if reporting on these incidents might just be giving people with mental illness the extra push to do it themselves..you know gives them ideas.... I don't know, your right, its a sad , sad world some days......
