Happy FRIDAY!! Because it's the weekend, and because Monday is release day, how about another sneak peek? *grin*
The snowman is from the soon-to-be-released Spirit of Christmas set from Whipper Snapper. I stamped the image in black StazOn ink and painted it with re-inkers. I used a couple different Memory Box papers for the quilt block background.My Dad had surgery yesterday. He had his second knee replacement surgery, and this one was a doozy. The operation took over 5 hours not only for the regular knee replacement procedure, but also due to an old injury on the same knee. He's going to be sore for a long while. I talked to him tonight (he's still at the hospital for a few days) and he was very groggy! But he'll get back to his cheery self in no time. I know there are a lot of you who enjoy his blog comments, and if you're interested in dropping him a 'speedy recovery' card, let me know! I know it would really make his day! (Shhhh, Mom, don't tell!)
I'm soooo looking forward to the weekend. Some "down" time is greatly needed around here. I've got several projects that need my attention though, so hopefully I can get some serious work done while still enjoying the weekend.
Have a good one!

That leaf is just too darn cute! Neat-O snowman! Like how you did the quilt background to showcase his adorableness.
Yeah, I'm making up words now. Think I've used about every good one I know in my comments to you in the past and I hate to be ho hum boring all the time. Please send me your Dad's address, as I'd love to make him a card and reinforce the fact that you're the best cardmaker in the galaxy.

Your snowman is adorable!!! That's going to be another GREAT set!
Sure do hope your Dad recovers quickly. I have BAD knees, and I'm sure the surgery is no fun, either. So sorry he had such a traumatic surgery...
Please send me his name so I can also send him a card! And have a good weekend!!! :D

Dad's are such special people to us girls. They always think we're so smart and beautiful. My dad will be 90 in December and still thinks his girls are special.
Have a good recovery Anna's dad!
BIG hug!
