MIA again here lately, we have been dealing with illness in the family. My MIL passed away and my sister has been in the hospital for about 6 weeks, crazy!! Her problem started out with a bladder infection and she is now laying in the hospital and pretty much can't move, her arms & legs are swollen like balloons!! Just a warning for everyone, if your Dr. tries to give you Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) don't take it!!!! After seeing what happened to my sister and talking with others this is a horrible drug!! Can't believe they don't take it off the market!! I'm so worried about my sister and afraid she is never going to come out of this.
I just had to take a little time this weekend and try get my mind off of it and created this piece for SSSS http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/ where the theme is Travel.
When I was a young girl we used to go over to my aunts house for the holidays and we took an old wooden bridge over the river to get there. Here I stuck to the song and put grandmother's on it. So I tried to recreate that scene for this piece, I didn't have much time so not the best but that's OK it was more about clearing my mind. Again I used the snow stuff I had laying around but really need to get some sparkly fluff, the stuff I have is to hard to work with!! I made the river using a piece of plastic and colored with stream alcohol inks then on other side I used the new snow cap alcohol ink, I likey!! The piece is held up using Tim's easel die cut, love it!!
Have a good one!!

Nice job Donna! So sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she's feeling like herself soon! It's hard to wait and wonder, isn't it?!?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, remember to take some time out for yourself to rest and recover with so much going on right now... *Hugs*
I truly love this piece. It is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your MIL and your sister. It is scary about your sister. I have been on cipro and never knew anything about it doing this kind of thing. They were going to put my mom on it for something, but then changed. I will keep this mind if they ever prescribe it to me again.
Ooh time traveling is a great idea!!! Wish I could sometimes : ) Neat snowy scene with the automobile too!!
