Here is my card for this week's Free For All challenge of Warm Winters and Cool Summers, I went with the Warm Winter colors of Red, Orange and Yellow.
So my youngest daughter went in to get her cast off today after 5 weeks of wearing it only to find out that it has not completely healed. It was recasted and she has to wear this one for two more weeks... BUMMER!
Some good news to report on my nephew though, he has come out of the coma and is now breathing on his own. Doctors say he will most likely make a full recovery within the next few weeks, but still don't know what caused the stroke.
My Mother-In-Law is now out of the hospital as well and has recovered from the Mersa Infection; however my Uncle is still in the hospital with a rare form of cancer.
I am so tired and feel like I live in hospitals, but it looks like I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel and want to thank all of you who have kept me and my family in your prayers!

It's sounds like your family has been going through rough times. I'm glad your nephew is doing a bit better. What a blessing it is for us to have our card making. You should have felt a little better after making this one. It is so fresh and crisp, and gorgeous!! I like the clean white embossed bg too. Great card!! Take time for your card therapy, and hang in there.
