Thank You for Your Kindness!

This card was inspired by a card with a diagonal patchwork piece . . . I started toying around with it and this is the result!  I truly love this card - the papers (getting down to scraps on this Basic Gray 6x6 pad) especially and the piece of Breeze textured paper that I put behind it all - just so Happy!  The sentiment is Close-to-My-Heart. 

Things are stable here - my SIL is still in ICU but she is getting excellent care and is stable.  The biopsy came back benign on the kidney tumors - thank God!  Still  hard to believe all this started with a vacation in Egypt and a simple fall.  

Have a wonderful Sunday!  I've been playing a little, so more to post later!

You had to have known I would LOVE this card. Gorgeous. The colors are so fun.

I'm glad your sister-in-law is stable and the biopsy was negative.
I hope she continues to improve.

Take care, and have a wonderful week!

Boy, have I been missing a LOT in blogland lately! Your card here is sooooo very sweet (love the colors, the patchwork, the lace --everything!).

I'm sorry your SIL has had even more setbacks, but am glad that the tumors are benign and hope that she won't have anything but steady improvement ahead. I'll keep praying.

hugs,
Christi
