Getting Well Quickly

      This is the Monday when the new challenge starts at Jan's Digi Stamps!   As usual, our theme is Anything Goes.  You are not required to use a JDS stamp but if you do, your entry will go into a separate draw only for entries using one of Jan's digistamps.  That increases your chance of winning by a huge amount!  

     My DT card today was done as a Get Well card for my granddaughter after her car accident in early December.  She fine - no worry!  She did spend a few days in the hospital under observation because she had some very severe bruises, including one to her liver, several to her ribs and collarbone, and she had a small laceration to her spleen.  They kept her under observation, hoping surgery would not be necessary and it turned out it wasn't.  She still has a ways to go for a complete recovery (maybe even a few months), but she's home.  

     Her car will have to be replaced since it was totaled by the insurance company.  That breaks my heart because her car had been my car before she bought it from me, and it was her first car.  She worked 3 different jobs during her high school years and saved every penny of her paychecks, intending to buy her first car without any help from family.  When I  decided that I was ready to sell mine, she had saved enough to be able to make an offer and we did the deal.  She loved that little car as much as I did.  :-D

     This fun image is from the Jan's Digi Stamps set called "Get Well Friends."

I also want to tell you about a fun "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V.  It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January!  There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post.  Just click on the link and find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season.  :-D  Everything on this card came from the stash!

     Challenges:

     Come play with us this month!  We love being inspired by you and we look forward to what you enter.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

OH! I'm so glad to hear that your granddaughter is recovered, what a shame about her car though, a similar thing happened to my son, but he wasn't injured. My mother had bought it for him. Your card is an absolute joy Connie. I love the frame and the sentiment is hilarious.
Keep safe

Glad to hear that your granddaughter is on the road to recovery and just what she needs is a wonderful card from Nana Connie. Cute image! Nicely colored. Sometimes it's as difficult to let go of a car as it is a pet when they've been with you a long time. Nice cheer!
