Mom's Window

I made this card for my Mom for Mother's Day. The image is a digi stamp from Sketching Stamper. I used watercolor pencils to color it. The background paper is from Provo Craft and the dots are Basic Grey Two Scoops.

I used the sketch from the Three Clover Designs challenge. Since it's Mother's Day on Sunday, several blogs have Mother's Day cards for their challenge: Cafe Mojo, Our Creative Corner, Stamptacular Sunday. The Secret Crafters challenge is flowers.

I also made a matching corner bookmark.

I have one more thing to talk about tonight. I don't talk about my health issues on my blog much but I'm going to tonight. I have a lot of pain in my legs and feet and it is very difficult to stand and/or walk for very long. Some days it is so bad I can't take care of my housework at all and other days I'll have a migraine and sleep all day. These are all side effects of medication that I take. If I'm not feeling well for a couple of days in a row, things really get behind. Since I can't spend much time on my feet, it's really easy to get further and further behind until things get to be quite a mess. Which is what my kitchen looked like today.

Well, my sister came over this evening and cleaned my entire kitchen for me. She loaded the dishwasher and then hand washed the remaining items. Since my heart transplant, I don't know what I would do without my sis. I can't clean the litter box because of the immunosuppresents I'm on. I bought an automatic litter box and she comes over every week to dump it. She really goes above and beyond and thank goodness I have her to take care of things I can't. Thanks Alice.

That's all I have to say tonight (or I guess it's this morning). I took a nap this afternoon so now I'm not at all tired and it is 3:15 am. When I get this posted, I'm going to go to bed and try to get some sleep.

I just found a new (to me) challenge blog and this fits this weeks challenge: http://funfrilled.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day-and-winner.html.

Blessings,
