Good morning!
If you are still a visitor here, I am truly grateful. I mentioned a couple of months ago that life has been a bit messy and emotional and just plain 'ole tough. My MIL was placed in memory care and has had a difficult time transitioning. My FIL moved in with us, but shortly after moving in, got COVID pneumonia. He was in the hospital and then rehab. He has now been back home for a couple of months and it has been quite the transition for us empty nesters. Giving up our master bedroom and bath on the main floor, worrying about what he is going to eat, therapists coming in and out of our house, and just having an extra person in the home. My husband is an only child, so there is no one else. Just us. All the while, trying to sell his parents' house, work our regular jobs, still see Cortney, worrying about Kyle who is currently deployed, and me throwing my back out. (MRI pending)
But through all this, we did celebrate 32 years together, Cortney selling her first painting at Artist in All, me finishing my 30th year of teaching, and the start of summer break.
I guess that's life huh?
The good, the bad, the ugly. ;)
I am not complaining, as I have learned a long time ago that everything is fleeting and enjoy even these tough moments. So we have resolved to make this time with his dad the best we can for him. Make some memories while he is with us.
Anyway, on to my card..... which is really why you stopped!
This bearded dragon is so cute peeking out around this wall! Another adorable set from Whimsy Stamps! I used the brick stencil to create the wall. I had some left over leaf and flower die cuts in my stash and used them here for the top right corner. I added a bit of hand stitching, which on hind sight probably didn't need. (Since it IS hidden! LOL) but.....it's there! A bit of twine and a small clothes pin finished off the card.
Thank you for being patient with me and still checking up on me!
