Ah, sad lil story here. One of our co-workers was MIA and we asked if she had called in. Well, she had, and we were told that she had been in an accident at the market.
Of course we were worried, until we heard that no vehicle was involved. The shopping cart got away from her and she was involved in a roll-over. Poor girl hurt her arm and shoulder. We are hoping a funny 'get well' will make her feel better. (I used to think that shopping injuries were caused by credit cards!) Ouch!

Who would have ever thought to use flowers in the shopping basket!!! How cute is that! Your coworker must be one serious shopper. Hope she gets better soon.

I know she got hurt - but that was a funny story. This will be the perfect card to cheer her up. I love the layout you've used and those colours work beautifully together. Hope your colleague gets better soon.

Well though the story is sad, it's quirky also. Never thought I could be injured while grocery shopping. Wow, this is pretty cute and yes tells the story in itself with this cart full of flowers. Clever and thoughtful Pat, but ain't those your middle names! LOL

Great card! I hope that your friend is on the mend from her freakish 'accident'...but a roll-over at the supermarket? Who ever heard of such a thing! ;)

OMGoodness, I had a co-worker injured while shopping at our local wal-mart. She is 6ft 4in and a box from top of a shelf fell on her head. I could not believe she got hurt bc it seemed like such a short distance the box would have been able to fall. Guess it would depend on what was in the box though. LOL. This is just too cute and I am sure it will cheer her up. Hope she is better soon.

Very cute and the shopping cart stamp is so perfect for this occasion.
A roll over, wow, she must have really been doing some major shopping.
I have had people bump my cart and I teasingly tell them I have whip lash, but a roll over is terrible. As a child, I stood on the end of the cart and turned it over. Bet my mom was totally embarrassed.

I have never thought about a roll over! I guess I had better be more careful! I'm not the best cart driver! Your poor friend - I hope she recovers soon...especially her pride! LOL!
This is sooo beautiful amd thoughtful and humourous all at the same time!! I've never rolled a shopping cart, but I do understand the injuries sustained by the credit cards!!

I think indeed your heart is the size of Texas - or maybe Canada - this card is so gorgeous and thoughtful -and fun too!! The rollover.. oh my goodness!!! That would terrible. Initially I thought it might be shopping injury caused by carrying too many stamps or copics * and straining your arm muscles -of course I am simply so thrifty NOT - that would never happen to me!
