Good Morning Sistahs!
I told you yesterday that I had another project to show you. Unfortunately it is a project I'd rather not have had to make.
My Aunt's birthday was Friday and she was supposed to celebrate at dinner with close family and friends, but never ended showing up. As it turns out, she was instead transported to the hospital with a brain injury. The doctors finally diagnosed it as a stroke, but because of the location they weren't able to operate. She spent a little less than 24 hours in the ICU, and was then downgraded to the Intermediate Neuro Care Area (INCA) Saturday afternoon. With all the family and friends coming to show their love and support at the hospital we managed to over-stimulate her. So because so many people wanted to share stories and say prayers with her, my mom asked me to make a book for people to sign in case my Aunt was sleeping when they came to visit. So I created this:
This is the first time I have ever used my Bind-it-all! Not bad for my first time right? *wink I also decided to make pens to match the cover. I took two 7.5" x 5" covers and cut 36 pages of cardstock in soft pastel colors so people could write little notes to her. We took it to the hospital Sunday and people have already started writing in it. It's also a great way to add a splash of color to my Aunt's hospital room.
If you would be so kind as to say a little prayer for her to have a speedy recovery my family and I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope to have more for you tomorrow, but with all the activities we have going on, I might not be able to post until Thursday.
Thanks for all your love and prayers!
Happy Stampin'
Sending prayers and well wishes for your beloved aunt.
