OK, fun stuff......here are some ATCs that I made for a swap I was in....it was an interesting swap, because we had to use recycled product for the base of the cards. I used boxes from my AMY's meals....and of course that is my little Frieda as the model in each card.
Some more ATC for a feathered friends swap....
Some cards for an anything goes card swap....
And I should have blogged about this in June, but two years ago I got my grandmother into a wonderful nursing home closer to me (about 5 minutes from my house). I am her power-of-attorney and just love the care they give her there. We are a very involved family so she feels like a queen there. She is 91 years old and she is just thriving and truly feels that it is her home. The facility and the employees (as well as the residents) are wonderful and each year they have a *SENIOR* prom (get it?) where the seniors can dress to the nines. The nursing home even has beautiful dresses the ladies can borrow and fancy jewels and nice things for the men. The residents are in heaven each year and they play music from all of the decades. The joy on many of the residents' faces will honestly just take your breath away! I always attend and leave feeling very blessed to have taken part. Anyway, here are a few pics of my beautiful grandmother at this years prom....isn't she a beauty?

Let me end this long post with this sweet pic of one of my furry kids...sweet Bess. Isn't she adorable (and when she's sleeping, she's not yapping! :-) )
Hope you all are well and enjoying the summer! Talk to you soon!!

Hey! Glad to have you back. I used to have those iron IV's when my kidney's were failing. I would go very early in the morning and sleep thru most of it. What really gave me energy was epoegen shots in my abdomen. Hope you get to feeling better real soon. I have set a deadline of August to get my Etsy shop open. Going it alone and have no clue what to do!

Wanted to say thanks for visiting my site, come back anytime. Sorry for your loss, & hope you will feel better soon. And yes your Grandmother is beautiful. I bet she had a great time. I go to nursing homes all the time for work & you can always tell where the residents are happy. It's great that you found such a wonderful place for your Grandmother. Feel better! Hugs***Renea

Hi Lolly,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I wish you luck with the tranfusion. I feel for you.
Have a wonderful day today,
Amy (Mom to the Four Sisters)
Welcome back to blogging, Lolly! I've missed you! Hopefully your health will improve 100% with the iron! (I am also anemic though not to that degree - I take iron tablets - & I know it can leave a person very tired!) Love your ATCs! Always classy, your art! Speaking of classy, your mom & grandmother are EXACTLY that! Both are absolutely beautiful women, and you have that same beauty! Get well, take care, and follow your cute doggy's lead - REST!
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. You know, I have a freind that was having severe iron problems for years, then was diagnosed with a wheat allergy! Celiac disease.
Good luck.
Hi Lolly, I hope you are feeling better soon. I'll be thinking of you Friday. Thank you so much for visiting me. I've been reading yours and felt so bad when reading about Max. I love my Anna and Bailey so much. They are our family and it is so hard when something happens to them. Anna and Bailey send love and kisses.
I'd be glad to pray for you Friday. I'm so sorry about your kitty Max. Your grandmother is adorable!! Your mom too! I especially love the ATC 'I don't know and I don't care.' LOL
