Well the challenge said a horse, but I didn't have one of those, it also said a bicycle and I didn't have one of those (in rubber) - but I have something better - an in house artist. So I commissioned my daughter, Lia, (she did the piano charcoal for Haley a while back, and you all so generously left wonderful comments - thank you, thank you!) Cathy, you and Jessica and your family are in my prayers.

Ah, I remember that piano. This is even more amazing, because where I might conceivably be able to draw a keyboard, there is no way even in my wildest dreams that I could contemplate a bicycle. And if I ever did, it certainly wouldn't look as if you could hop on it and ride off, like this one does. Love your flowers, too - red flowers are always happy-making .

Wow! This is fabulous! Be sure to pass that on to your daughter. This image brings to mind a slower, gentler time. Just what Jessica will need as she heals.

I remember that piano well! It was just awesome......just like this! Holy cow, who needs stamps when you have a daughter as talented as yours! What a wonderful bicycle! Whoo hoo! And don't you be thinking that I didn't see that you got flowers in on this challenge card! Ha ha!
Lia, you are quite talented! And Rosalia...thanks so much for making this joint effort card for Jessica! She will be so touched! You did good! Both of you!
Your daughter is so talented. I was actually going to look to see where I could buy this stamp. Love your card and the red flowers are a nice touch. Great card.

I would certainly like your daughter to live next door to me. Have you ever thought of moving lol! I like how you highlighted the bicycle with the brown bkgrd.
