Bridal Shower Card

Hi, Friends.....

I've sure been swamped with all sorts of happenings this last week and wishing I could be creating and posting on here, but had other commitments.  I hope I can be on here more regularly now.   Thank you to those of you who have kept checking in.

Today I am sharing a card that I think turned out really pretty.  But, oh, do my photography skills need help!  Maybe better lighting, huh?  (She says in a brilliant flash!!  Ha.)  I made this for a friend's bridal shower back in January, but am just now getting it posted on here.

I love the monochromatic look to it, but are they hard to photograph!!!   Isn't that heart-shaped doily sweet that goes off the edge of the card a little on one side and is cropped on the other?  The lovely butterfly is from Pink Paislee and the bow is made from lace seam binding.   The papers are from DCWV.

Hope you like this.  Sure wish I knew how to crop the photo!!  ;o

CAT STATUS UPDATE:

My poor sweet Whiskers was sick yesterday.  She just lay in the sun yesterday morning instead of rushing in the house when I opened the door.  After I got home from Ladies Bible study, she was still lying in the same place and not at all interested in coming in the house.  I knew she was really feeling poorly!  I started fretting over her and worrying, particularly after just losing Rooster (even though the two things were unrelated).  Hubby was getting ready to leave for a work trip, but gave her some medicine before he left.  She just lay around all evening and was very low.  I let her sleep in the house last night (unusual) and she was feeling MUCH better this morning.  Who knows what was wrong.  No apparent wound, although it could have been an infection brewing from a bite.  So glad my little Whisk-Whisk is mostly back to her usual perky self!

Whiskers, on a different day, back on the bed while the bedspread that she gets dirty is being washed!

CHICKEN STATUS UPDATE:
My oblivious hens don't even seem to notice Rooster is gone.  Dumb clucks.  Ha!  I am so glad they are doing fine, particularly Hen.  She was quite dependent on Rooster..  We had been given them together (because Rooster had become an outlaw at his former home and had to go!) and Hen rarely left his side, until just the last month or so.  The other two hens had been abandoned, and subsequently rescued and brought here.  They never had the time of day for Rooster from the start, although he was quite enamored with them, of course.  So, all seems fine with my hens.  The day after the attack, all three hens even layed me an egg each.  That's a good sign.  :)
