Tuesday Morning Sketches #187

Well I am certain it's a fabulous day at Tuesday Morning Sketches, but for Tuesday in my life it's not going to be good.

It snowed like the dickens Sunday night and instead of closing or even delaying the start of school - my district opened as usual. I arrived at work Monday and the parking lot hadn't been cleared. There was about a foot of snow. I'm just glad I didn't get stuck and got the car parked. Well after school, I'm walking the kids out. As I was leaving who falls? ME!! Not once, oh no, I had to go and fall twice. The parking lot was an ice skating rink and I didn't have on my skates. Now, my knee is swollen and incredibly swollen, plus I twisted my ankle and my hip. I just feel so stupid. I was so excited to leave, I was going to the gym to exercise (which I haven't done in like in a year and a half because of my knee). So today, I am hoping I can just walk.

Enough of my woes...Today at TMS we have a favorite sponsor - Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I didn't request an image in time, but the rest of the DT has some fabulous images to share. For my card, I turned to There She Goes. Two weeks ago was TSG (Again!) and I had the set Sweet Pea already colored up and so wanted to put it on a card...so here it is.


I'm not much of a lavender/purple kind of girl...but I thought the coloring on these sweet flowers came out real nice. I need to give this card to Stacy, the nurse in our building. She got me home, shoveled some snow so my car could be parked and didn't leave me till she was sure that I had enough ice and ibuprofen. What a sweet lady. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll stop by the rest of the DT and see there marvelous creations. Have an awesome day! 
Theresa

I can't imagine how yucky you must feel now :( It's always worse the day after. Liability is a HUGE issue for schools, so I'm surprised they didn't take better care out there. And I'm so glad you had Stacy there to get you home safely.
Your card turned out gorgeous - the colouring is beautiful!

What a wonderful school nurse. The card you created for her is so beautiful. You rocked lavenders.

I am so sorry to hear about your falls. I did that one time right on my back. I hope you are healing. This card is gorgeous. Great coloring job.

Ouch! Our schools here don't close unless the superintendent can't get his car out. If he can, then everyone has to make it in--including the teachers and students. I'm glad you didn't break anything, but I know you've been hurting! Your card is so pretty. I am loving how you are coloring these days.
