Back to Basic

Posted on | May 19, 2009 | 18 Comments |

Back to just plain-o stampin’ {::SMILES} using Kristina’s colors #52: baja, saffron, mustard, sand, and white. I used my Inkadinkado stamps and SU’s Congrats. For the dragonfly I adhere some Pixie Pixles by Pink Paislee (I have a pen glue by Martha Stewart so it’s easy to go around the edges of the dragonfly). Just something sweet and simple for a friend who just had a baby… and C-section. She had a boy and I thought I’d keep the card neutral with a dash of blue of mama and him.This is my second attempt. I’ll show you my first (and improvised) attempt on my next post.

I have two more weeks, yeah! Yesterday I got myself a treat… a handicap pass! Yes, much needed!!! The folks at work are redoing the parking lot across the street from my office and so I have to park a bit away and on bad days it’s soooooooo painful. Just like today. So for the next two weeks I can park right outside my building door. It’s really nice since right now I feel like somebody kicked me on the crotch and then crushed my bones to little pieces. I have good days and bad days. Today’s one of them bad days.

Ok, hope your day’s a lot less painful than mine. More later!

This card is plain for you, but I love it! I hope all the pain you are enduring now will be it and when she comes, she’ll just come right out with no pain! Thanks for sharing your story. I had to share it with my hubby so he understands why some of his co-workers are on bed rest. It’s not for fun…DUH!

I love you card! And yeah for the handicap pass! You are so close to the end! I kept telling myself those last couple weeks, “It’s all going to be worth it.” I said it over and OVER. It’s kind of weird because I think we’re done (3 is a enough!) Every time I try to imagine there being more I just think, heck no! I cannot endure another horrible pregnancy. Is that terrible to say? All three were totally worth it, but three is plenty! :-) Anyhoo! Now I’m just babbling! Wishing you the best for the last couple weeks! Hugs from Morocco!

Very, nice! I love it, the card has a calm look to it! I’m sure she’ll love it. Hurray for your handicap parking permit, I’m sure that helps, from what you described, it sounds very painful! Yikes! Oh, and thank you for accepting me on Facebook! It’s so much fun to see who else is on there! Teehee!

Hugs
Clouds :D
