Anything Goes! - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Good afternoon lovely peeps!
I can't decide if it's cold today or if I am cold because I'm tired but I've given in & put the heating back on to warm the house up even though it's almost July!

I spent a very long day at Southmead Hospital in Bristol yesterday as one of my sisters needed an operation & the specialist consultants are based there so we had to get up at 4.30am to set off & check in by 7am! I knew her surgery was going to take approximately 4 hours so I stamped some images, packed my copics & flask of coffee as I thought I would do some colouring to occupy my mind while she had surgery. Bad idea! I didn't get one image coloured as I had parked in their multi storey car park & chose a space where I had lots of natural daylight so in theory it would have been a perfect place to sit and colour! Wrong! I hadn't even thought about the movement of parked cars every time a car drives past & my car was literally rocking & I was being bounced around inside making colouring incredibly difficult & I wished I'd taken a book to read instead lol.
Thankfully my sisters surgery went well although it will be many weeks before she makes a full recovery, but looking on the bright side she's now looking forward to the Summer off work to recuperate when she leaves hospital :)

  1. Great coloring, and those flowers are beautiful! (And I just love that sentiment... perhaps because I've had a few too many 29th birthdays myself.) :-)

  2. Hi Mindy! For the record...I see nothing wrong with continually celebrating one's 29th birthday. I finally switched to celebrating anniversaries of my 39th birthday (so it would be a tad more believable...LOL) I love the color scheme you chose...her blue hair goes perfectly with her dress. Hee hee hee. Thank you for having me as the spotlight designer this month at SSS! Hugs,
