A Little Hello

I tried. I am trying to get better. Once my fever broke the other night, I figured it was all a piece of cake. I finally ate some smashed taters this morning (and the dog stole the whole thing of butter) but I have been regressing all day. Now I barely have a voice and the constant cough is back. My daughter said to go to Florida-fine. Will she watch my dogs? Nope. Will she drive in and cook for her dad? Nope. Will he cook? Nope, the miracle block of fast food is calling his name.(The healthiest place in town closed). Besides, I gave away all my year end cash. I didn't plan on getting sick. The county health department has issued a flu warning AND a Norovirus alert (please, no !)I will have to make an emergency trip to Costco for toidy paper-they sell by the 100 roll packages. I will get two. My only choice is to stay home and secluded. I just have no fresh food in the house.
Here is a card I made a long time ago.I thought I had already put it up but there it was-floating in my review file. I think this stamp is an oldie from Great Impressions . You can order any they have even if its years ago. I am running a list for the day when I am so needing instant gratifications. I stamped it on a plain scrap for the inside making sure the piece was a bit larger than the aperture. All I did for embellishment is use a glitter pen on the edges of the bottles.
Fold a golden card. Punch your hole. Take a lighter piece and punch out a hole a tad bigger. Stamp with a background stamp in a golden or beige ink. Attach to the front. Add a greeting. Place the stamped image behind making sure to line it up nicely.
Use the same background stamp on a matching envie with the same ink.Stamp another jar stamp on the lower corner and if you want, highlight with some glitter here and there. Sometimes simple is better than too much. So no ribbons or metallic add ons.
