Starflower Best Wishes


I got a chance to wind down tonight and play a bit after a long couple of days. I took the girls to the clinic yesterday, both of them have full-blown ear infections and my youngest also has strep throat. So, another round of antibiotics for both of them. They've been up a lot during the past few nights, coughing non-stop it seems, and I haven't been able to sleep either. But, they're feeling much better tonight, I think the meds are kicking in nicely!

So, this is round 2 for an Anniversary card for my parents. I just wasn't happy with the other card that I had made, I keep looking at it thinking it's too dark. Spending 45 years together shouldn't bring on a dark card, it should bring on a nice light and cheery card. I think I achieved that with this card. Is this better? lol :)

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
