To say I handpicked this sentiment and designed the card around it is an understatement. Not gonna bore anyone with all the details but my entire family has been experiencing health and other crisis this entire year, but especially this week. Together our family got through it!! I have been as sick as I have been since I was a kid for over a week now- high fevers, chills, aches, nausea, cough, killer headache- and no - not Covid, not the flu, but was diagnosed with a UTI tonite but I think that was a side. I am ready for this week to be over. It's a miracle I got this card made - but it's hardly my finest work! Enough of my belly aching, but what a week!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Karen, I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly. I hope you are on the amends and back in the saddle again soon! You would never be able to tell you were not feeling well by the likes of your card design, it's simply beautiful as always! Thanks for suffering through something you didn't feel like doing!

What a rough week! What a beautiful card! Your coloring is amazing. I like how you stamped the flowers in the two opposite corners. Lovely die-cut scalloped edge. The sentiment speaks to the tough time your family has gone through lately and creates a caring encouragement card. Love the finishing touches with the gems and the bow. I hope you feel much better very soon!

I never would have known you were so sick this week. I think your card is beautiful, and I like the sentiment. I'm sorry to hear that you and your family have been so sick. I think it is good that you shared. My family has been sick and it is getting me down. Sometimes we think we are the only ones. You used the colors wonderfully and your flowers really are lovely. Here's for better health for all of you.

Well, apparently your artistry still comes through even when you aren't feeling well. This is as beautiful as ever. I love your mix of scallops and pattern to accent your lovely blooms. Feel better soon, my friend!
