You won't even believe this....

Last week is one I'd like to pretty much erase. Two "F's". A funeral and a fall. My sweet friend Nicki died quickly and unexpectedly at 43, leaving behind her husband and two children. And although it's difficult to imagine her not being nearby, I know I'll see her in heaven someday. Her faith is an assurance of that. The other "F" was much more close to home. In fact, it was here at home that DH's fall occurred. At age 77, with all hips and knees replaced, his mobility isn't the greatest, but until a few months ago, he had done just fine. Less than 10 minutes after coming back from Nicki's visitation, he tumbled down the basement stairs and landed on the cement floor. Thankfully, he doesn't remember the fall. After a call to 911, and a trip to the ER, it turns out that he's a pretty tough bird. Nothing broken, no brain bleed, and no concussion. He's stiff, bruised, and sore, but all things considered, he's doing really well. God was really watching out for him! Needless to say, I wasn't doing any crafting (or much of anything else either). Since he's SAFELY ensconced in the recliner in the room next to me, I decided to craft this afternoon rather than continue the "shift" of his office. No more stairs for him (his office is upstairs and contains enough books to start a library, among all of his other professorial goodies....). So...

Since the card I started for Muse last week pretty much sat on my desk until this morning, I decided to check the current challenge there, and see if I had any mojo. One look at Marion Vagg's card and I really hopeful that Mr. Mojo would appear. I'm pretty happy with what I created. First, see this lovely, CAS card of Marion's...

Love this! It's just so beautiful!! So much inspiration; had to play along with Muse this week!

My eyes went right to the design, colors, and flowers of Marion's card and here's my take:

And....since these are brand-spankin' new stamps and dies, I'm popping this into Darnell's super fun NBUS Challenge too! Everything is from Reverse Confetti. I used various inks and Neenah white cardstock. Now I have to check on my "patient," and then get a few more things done around here. It's good to be back though. I've missed you all. And btw....thanks so very much for your sweet comments, and your encouragement on my PCL guest gig. You're the best!! Happy dances everyone!
