Hello, friends! Praise the Lord I'm plugging along following my surgery. It's not easy (or fun) but I'm getting just a little bit stronger each day, and the pain gets a bit more tolerable as well. The initial surgical pain has subsided, and I'm now dealing with more of an ache that persists (especially following physical therapy/movement). But amidst the chaos and struggles of my recovery.....the greatest joy of all.
Our oldest daughter, Andrea, gave birth to our first grandbaby. Taylee Jean was born Monday evening, October 22. She is beautiful, and I PRAISE GOD for her safe arrival. I just know how she has given such joy already, and how she will continue to bless our family for years to come. God is good......ALL the time!
So, I made this card for the new challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Come, play along with us. Our sponsors for this challenge are Pretty Little Studio and Stix2Anything Adhesives. I used a Reverse Confetti die (confetti cut) called Wonky Stripes Panel for the backdrop, and then I printed the scripture, and added some bundled Black, Ivory and Natural Burlap String. I topped that "little nest" with a sweet piece of Flair from our sponsor, Pretty Little Studio. I also attached a Prima ticket, some vintage scotch tape, and a few acrylic dots.
Thanks for stopping by. I love to share and blog, but my arm hurts. I'm cutting this short, my friends.
Be blessed,
Karen
