I am home from work today... a bad Lupus attack... I tried to get dressed and just couldn't... so I have rested all morning... trying unsuccessfully to sleep.... this little angel has been on my mind all morning!!...she was inspired by a frig magnet at work... I worked on her on my Gypsy last night...and finally decided to finish her up... so maybe I could sleep... I am taking her a sign from God that he is taking care of me and in the morning I will feel better enough to work...usually a day in bed will do it... so back to bed after this post!! Thank you so much for looking... hugs, Jeannie

My son, John-Robert is RA Camp (Baptist Church Camp for boys) Co-Director this year... he started out as a camper at age 8, then a counselor at age 15, now look at him at 21 almost 22 ...I am really proud... anyway he text-ed me and said he needed a card for a lady that made the counselors a Berry Cobbler in a Dutch Over... and he wanted me to make one...he said that he knew I was busy with the wedding and they could buy one but that "you do a better job than a real card"... so I made him one... I needed to center myself anyway and cards are the best in the world for that!!... I hope the guys like it and so does the sweet lady... thank you so much for looking...

I got my new camera last night...had to make a card to see if it would take better pictures... it does....but I still have some learning to do.... getting the color to come out right is hard.... be glad when I get past the learning curve....and I do hate those huge handbooks!!..... I also had to play with my new Scor-It ... I am loving those lines... hope you like this one... did a little layering of the flowers...hand cut those from the paper... that corner needed something and this added just the right touch I think.... thank you so much for looking and for your comments.... aren't those comments we get so encouraging!.... ~~Hugs Jeannie
