Hi everyone.... I'm going to start this post off with a warning... Get a flu shot. OMG I have been so sick the past 48 hours with the flu. It's been awful. I cannot even remember the last time I was this sick and felt this bad. I've never actually been run over by a bus, but I'm pretty sure this is what it would feel like afterwards. Yuck. Bad news. I must have caught some cooties at CHA because I started feeling bad on Tuesday and then by Wednesday night I had a fever of 102! I hope that this blog post finds you feeling well and healthy!! If I owe you an email, be patient with me for a couple of days...
Tonight I thought I would post a valentine I made last week using this adorable new stamp set from Simon Says Stamp - it's a Simon's exclusive - called Furry Kisses! TOTALLY adorable! It was designed by one of my stampy idols - Kristina Werner. I actually met Kristina at CHA!! I'm quite sure I came across as a stalker, or maybe just as a dork. I'm such a fan. Hopefully, she took my gushing in the right way! :-) LOVE her stuff that she does for SSS.
Here's my fun little "Buddy" Valentine:
Okay, I'm keeping it short tonight... Time to get back on the couch with my IV of orange juice and back under the blankets. UGH. Send me some get well vibes - I could sure use 'em. Have a great weekend everyone!
How did I miss this??? I'm swooning over these kitties!!! Looks like you were inspired by a furry one of your own. **grin** LOVE THIS!

I hope you're starting to come out on the other end of being sick. I was hit two years ago and have gotten a flu shot every year since...I thought death had come for me! You are too funny about meeting Kristina at CHA, I'm sure she saw what a sweetheart you are...and your fabulous sense of humor! Hugs!!!

As I recover from the flu . . .thought I'd peruse some of my fave card makers. Love what you did with the SSS! We are a cat family - so I may just have to pick up the stamp and send a couple "Mittens cards" to my college students! ;)

Hope you're better soon. We flew back to the mainland last night, amidst lots of hacking people. We did both get flu shots, and I'm hoping they work!

Sorry to hear that you've caught the flu. It is a righteous bugger this time around too. I love that card as well. I have that stamp set in my wish list at Simon... purrhaps I should purrchase it?

Wanda,
It must be going around, I've heard of so many catching this stuff! Hope Mark is hanging in there with you. Keep that cozy blanket and orange juice at your side. Wish I could bring you some chicken soup! Hope you will be feeling better soon. You and Mark need to come and pay us a visit one of these days.
Get well soon!
Luv ya'll

Oh no, Wanda! I'm so sorry to hear that you've got the flu! Hubs always makes me get a flu shot. I hate shots and taking the time to get one, but I'm feeling pretty grateful to him now! Hope you are on the mend! Your card is purr-fectly adorable and I love the little paw prints on that small doily! Feel better and have a relaxing weekend! :)

Wanda your card made me smile! Love the sweet kitties! I love Kristina too! I learned much about card making from her you tube videos over the past few years.
Sorry you got so sick. I had the same problem this year though I got the flu shot so I don't know if the shot helped much this year- it may just be a really bad year for the flu? Anyway hope you are 100 percent soon!
