Hugs and Blessings

After the second brain surgery, I stayed in intensive care for a few more days and was then transferred to a regular hospital ward.  Man, was I ready to go home.  For those of you who are curious, I didn't lose any motor development, speech,....in fairness, my speech did slow down and was really hard for the first months.  And sometimes still, I lack word recall the way I used to.  But given my state before surgery, My brain is WAY WAY better now.  It was not a brain surgery where you have to relearn to walk, talk,.....none of that thankfully. Healing was enough without that.

Beautiful card! I love the way it's layered, and the flower is so pretty!
The red rubber stamp looks like a fun kitty... I'm all in for that since I love kitties! I also love the last set with the cute yeti!

I'm really glad that your surgery was so successful and that you're healthy now. You made a wonderful card. I like Heffy Doodle stamp set and Spellbinders cutting dies.
