Encouragement Card Using CTMH Brushed Paper and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge


Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It rained for almost a week; but I  think it  may be over now.  We either have no rain or lots of rain, causing flooding and land slides.  

My mother has been in the hospital in MO for a week with her heart, Cellulitis and other health problems.  My sister Becky stayed over from Thanksgiving to help my other sister Alice in staying with her; but Becky had to go back to work.  I hope and pray she gets better soon.   I can't make a trip there right now due to my own health; so I feel really sad about all of this.  I have been on the phone a lot this past week; talking to mom's nurses, my sisters and the Dr. It is so hard not being there; but I have to trust that she will get well soon.  

It is time for another new release of digis at DS4J.  I chose to merge a previous release "DS4J First Snow Dawn (Pre-colored by Jen) with one of the new releases "DS4J Storm Lantern".  I love both of these and thought they went very well together.
