Sketch #419~ So Sentimental, Color & Contour, Stampin Up

Oooh this was a tough sketch for me this week. 

But nevertheless, I wanted to give it a try.

So I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  So Sentimental 

Stampin Up:  Color & Contour 

The one thing I didn't want to do was go overboard.

So I sponged the two tiny banners on the white larger 

one, thinking that would help cut down on layers, and distractions. 

But as you can see my homemade DSP, is a 

bit busy.  So much for keeping things simple.  

My constant struggle.  

I like the bright sunshine colors though.  And do you 

want to know what gave me the inspiration?  The

yellow brick road, from the Wizard of Oz.  

That's right folks.  When I went to the holistic woman

yesterday.  There in between two buildings was a delightful

surprise.  I'll share a couple pictures at the bottom 

of this post.   

It made me so happy.  I had to take a few pictures.

It was like God saying this is the the path, (yellow brick 

road)  walk in it.  I know it sounds a bit weird, but 

it just gave me confirmation, that I need to try 

something different because my doctors aren't 

helping me.  

So I went into the office with a hopeful attitude.

Praying God would give the woman wisdom and 

guidance to help.   She told me after the test, 

that my adrenal glands are exhausted, and that my 

nervous system is shot.  which explains a lot.  I also

have some issues in the gut, which need some supplementing. 

I left overwhelmed but hopeful.  She seems quite willing

to walk through this with me.  Please continue to pray

that things will work out and I will be on the path to 

healing and restoration.   I'm still keeping my doctor

appointment in August but wouldn't it be grand 

if blood work came back all good.   

Here is the crew on the yellow brick road.  

Well we sure did have a busy day yesterday.  Between 

finding the place, which was a 2½ hour drive, then a 2 hour

appointment.  We went to our son's house he lives down 

in that area, spent the afternoon with him.  Came home

to pizza, my dad ordered for us all.  Our son and his 

girlfriend actually drove back up here, and our daughter

and son in law came over, so it was a fun filled night.  

I was and still am exhausted today.  but it was all so worth it.
