Good news – Joe is definitely feeling better today and actually
wanted to eat! He didn’t have much energy though and spent a quiet day. I ran
errands on my own this afternoon which was really odd doing it alone. He usually does the driving and I just dart in and out of where we have to go.
I have a
cousin visiting us this weekend for a few days and he is a carnivore and not
really interested in trying our vegetarian meals so I had to make another trip
to the grocery store to buy…ugh, meat! My sister had a good laugh when I called
and asked her how long it takes to cook chicken. I’m trying to be a good
hostess to my guest so I hope he appreciates it! That being said, I’m taking
him on a few day trips next week – it’s his first time in Canada
The other night I made four cards all the same…well almost the
same. I never do this and started out thinking of just making two cards for
men, one birthday and one thinking of you but I accidently grabbed two pieces
of cardstock and cut them both down the middle so I ended up with four cards
instead of two. Oh well, I’ll use them eventually. Here’s how they turned out.
I put the front of the card base into the wood grain embossing
folder and ran them through the Big Shot. The circle was die cut with the
Spellbinder die and stamped with a script stamp in light grey. The edges were
inked with blue ink. The sentiments were stamped in the same blue ink and the
ends notched. Two of the feathers are real feathers – some I’ve found, some
from the store. The two die cut feathers were made using a Little B die. The
large one was die cut using gold glitter paper from the dollar store. Because
these were for men, I tied a hemp bow and added a blue button only.
Here are the other three cards. Similar but different feathers and buttons.
Cheers

Love your card my friend! I'm still a sucker for feathers :) I love the color combo! Glad Joe is feeling better. My daughter was always my 'third leg' when it came to shopping or running errands ... there was a time we were two peas in a pod... When she graduated and moved away i sorely missed my shopping companion and soon hubby took up the position :) So good of you to be nice to your visiting meat eater. :) i say take him out to eat if you can afford it.. When daughter comes to visit we try to be nice to the veggie eater...lol Maybe you can give me a good (simple) vegetarian recipe that i can make to blow her socks off? :) Hugs! deb
