Sketch #413 Simply Succulents, So Sentimental Stampin Up

My goodness, my concentration is just gone.

Much like all the little animals in my yard.  

Perhaps it's been the stress of no squirrels,

and birds, and also the fact our little HP has 

been sick.   He is quite the rascal when it 

comes to taking his medication.  Only a few more

days.  We have tried peanutbutter sandwiches,

hotdogs, cheese, etc.  He spits the pill out.  

Then one day Robb was watching to make 

sure it went down, HP wouldn't open his mouth,

and then spit it out later.  I found that if I 

lay them on a potato chip he will eat them. 

Perhaps the crunch of the chip masks the crunch

of the pill any ways I included a video.  

What a little cutie.  I think he's spoiled. 

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this cards are:

Stampin Up:  So Sentimental 

Stampin Up:  Simply Succulents 

I was so excited to use my new stamp set.  
I'm still learning how to use my new die.  It is

so grand.  I love plants, and I'm happy to announce

I now have a real succulent, "lola" .  I will 

show a picture of her.  

I have much to learn about these plants.  

But oh what fun. 

I sponged the card stock and then layered the 

die cut piece on top, and started building from

there.  I like how bold the colors are. 

I wish I knew how to get it to look more like 

a stained glass piece, but I will learn.  I did 

rip up many scraps and glue them down, but

it didn't look to nice.  SO I'll keep trying.  

Well update on my health.  Went to the doctor

and apparently my overlapping autoimmune diseases 

have now got me in quite the predicament.   As I'm just 

been prescribed a blood pressure pill.  I had to have 

an EKG it turned out ok this time.

I'm so thankful my daughter was with me.   

Last time I was carted off to the hospital

by ambulance because it was crazy.  That didn't help my

anxiety.   They will be calling to schedule an echocardiogram. 

Apparently these diseases attack the insides.  So just 

praying it all goes well and my ole ticker will be fine. 

I sure would appreciate extra prayers.  Thank you. 

It's always something.  I tell ya it truly don't make

handling stress easier that's for sure.  So a lot on my mind.
