Wart's Up?

 Hello there!


It's Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend!


I have a quick share for Freshly Made Sketches.  I had every intention of submitting this at least on Saturday, but my weekend blew up from Friday afternoon through yesterday.  I had Friday and Saturday carved out for crafty time and then Date Night with the Hubs to the Carolina Ballet.  Unfortunately, our sweet ole Lab, Ellie, got ill on Friday afternoon and resulted in a trip to the ER Vet on Sat evening.  Thankfully after IV fluids, an x-ray and five hours later, we brought her home around midnight with non-obstructive gastroenteritis.  VERY thankful it was not an obstruction for Ellie's sake and our checkbook's.  And more thankfully that today she appears to be fully back to normal all the way around(knock on wood).  February has not been a good month for her, being this was her third trip to the vet, 2nd to the ER. So today I'm putting other things off and crafting diligently to make up for lost time. 


I guess in light of the weekend, it's good my first card today is whimsy and hopefully brings smiles...


I flipped the sketch for my card so I could create a sunset scene for this cute fly catchin' frog in a pond.  I decided to leave the pussy willows all white for some contrast and interest.

Not only did it bring a smile, Nance, I laughed out loud! So sorry Ellie needed to go to the ER again and glad she is better now.
