Taking a tiny break....

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. Apparently I enjoyed mine a bit too much; I wrenched my back searching for the perfect stamp while holding my little chihuahua. Doesn't take much it seems. Little Tia had a rough weekend too, she got stung by a wasp poor little thing. She was in a lot of pain, hence the constant cuddle from me.
Here she is posing with her big Golden buddy, Digby. Thankfully, she's doing fine now, which is more than I can say for me. I did manage to make a couple cards this weekend before the mishap. I  had some fun with Distress ink backgrounds.
Thought for the Day: I'm remembering Romans 8:28, even being in pain can be used for my good and His glory!
bless you; I hope to be back soon,
nancy

  2. I was just starting to wonder where you've been, Nancy! So sorry to hear about your back! I sure hope it heals soon! Your dogs are very sweet! Both adorable! I love your cards! The first one is so pretty with the fabulous mix of stamps! Such a pretty, yellow bird too! The second one is gorgeous! I love the pinks, yellows and peaches! Did you use Joy's technique?

    Thinking of you and hoping you feel better with each day! Big hugs! :)
