Card for a friend

This is a card I rubberstamped for a friend that hasn't been feeling very well. I stamped it with permanent black ink and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils using only 3 colors. I used the Primacolor Blender Pencil, for the first time, to blend the colors. I like the way it turned out, and I hope that she likes it too and it brightens her day. The cardstock and stamp are both from Stampin Up.

Another Beautiful Flower

As I've mentioned before, I love flowers. So when I saw these flowers in front of my friend's house, I just had to take a picture. Their color is purple, but the picture has some blue showing through. It's not real true to their color, but they're beautiful anyway.

Keeping Calligraphy Alive

As a gift to my neighbor's young grand daughter (he's also our friend), I gave her the book, "Calligraphy For Kids" along with a Parallel Pen, a box of cartridges and a single calligraphy marker. She absolutely loved it. It's only one way to try to keep an interest in calligraphy alive. Do you have any other ideas? I would love to hear them if you do.

Zoey Update

My little boy has recuperated very nicely, and here' s a picture to show you. He looks good, doesn't he? The first rear leg that you see is the one that had surgery.

My Little Boy No. 2, again

Sorry about that. I accidentally clicked on publish post instead of adding image. Duh. Anyway, here's the next picture.

My Little Boy No. 2

Here's the second picture

My Little Boy

Hi Everybody,

It sure has been a while since I've posted anything. I've been going through a major block with creativity, but I think I'm starting to come out of it a little bit now. Wow, that was a long time. Anyway, I think I will tell you about "my little boy, Zoey". About 7 weeks ago, my little boy (aka my dog) had surgery for a trick knee and a torn ligament. So I have had quite a job helping him to recuperate. He is not allowed to run, jump or play, and he has to be on a short leash every time he goes out. He has a few more weeks to go to be considered fully healed, and then I have to slowly get him used to going for his daily walks a little bit at a time. I've been pretty much glued to the house taking care of this little guy, but he's worth it. His little partner, Lindsey, died last December, and both of us are still grieving over her. As strange as it may seem, I think his surgery has helped him to bond with me more now that Lindsey is gone. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of him right after the surgery. Oops, I will place another picture in the next post.
