Anything Card







Hi Guys and Gals! This month at my house has been one big sick place! First my oldest son got sick, then my husband, then me and then my youngest. The only one who didn't get it (knock on wood) was my middle son. I got it the worst. I got bronchitis, a sinus infection and the flu all at once! That just stunk! It took two weeks to recover (and my house work still hasn't recovered...lol), but I am me again...yeah! So here is a little card I made for any occassion. No Cricut this time, how did I manage?! TFL!
