Color Inspiration #42

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! Today's card is for both the Hero Arts challenge and Kristina Werner's color inspiration challenge. Oh boy, this color challenge is so hard for me because those are not the color combo I normally use! However, that's what's good about this challenge; it force you to step out of your comfort zone once a while. :)

Quick Update and A Card

Hi there! Just a quick update about my eyes. I went to see the specialist for my eyes yesterday. My blood test result is good, everything is normal. My vision has improved a lot and my corneas are looking a lot better. The bad news is I have to stay on the very expensive drug for the rest of my life, but I will take that over the corneas transplant. :)

I want to thank you all for your concern and prayers from the bottom of my heart! You all ROCK!!

Now, on to the card I made today. I made this card for a friend over at the Hero Arts flickr group. She had a wrist surgery few days ago; I wish her a speedy recovery!

Life's Simple Pleasures

Do you like coffee? I do. Not for the actual drink, but for the aroma and the good company. I used to go to the Cafe and chat with friends before my daughters were born. Oh, how I miss that!! I haven't gone out without my daughters for 3 years, got to do something about that. :) I'm not going to be able to post tomorrow, I have to drive 1 1/2 hours each way to see a specialist for my eyes. So, I'm doing a late post right now. Nothing fancy, just a very simple card for you to enjoy!

What a Morning!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good day so far! Oh, boy! What a long morning for me!! Both of my daughters are sick, so my older one is at home with me today! On top of that I just spent 2 1/2 hours doing nothing but folding clothes while my two years old crying on top of her lungs. It's going to be a long week for me. :)

Ok, enough of my personal problems. Now, time to share a card which I made for my Hero Arts blog day. They decided not to use this one, so I'm going to share with you now.

Quick Update

Hello there, just a quick update today about my eyes. My eyes are getting better, but my vision still not 100% yet. I have to go get my blood drawn today. The doctor is suspecting other problems; hopefully there is nothing to worry about! Eek, call me chicken, but I really don't like to have my blood drawn!!

I'm still working on Hero Arts projects, the deadline is Friday. Got to go, I will be back tonight to share a card. Thank you for stopping by, have a beautiful day!
