So as not to forget, if you haven't noticed it on the top of my sidebar, I'm participating in the blog hop/challenge to help celebrate Rhonda's and Amy's birthdays. All the information will be available soon and I hope you'll all plan on joining us for all the fun -- I'm sure there'll be candy and there's a grand prize to be given to some lucky person!!! And, oh, I have a "sweet" little project I think will surely please!
Right now, I have a card to share with you. This card can be used as a sympathy, baptism, or christening card; maybe more but those are the only ones that come to mind... lol!!! Anyway, I left it blank because -- obviously -- I don't know it's purpose and/or the occassion I'll use it for; therefore I'll add wording when a situation arises. It's difficult to see but I added silver stickles to the cross chain on the praying hands to match the cross on the ribbon:
This is a picture of the card open:
The middle circle on this card can be removed to write a message on the back or, depending on the occassion, you can even slide a picture in between the top and bottom circles (for instance, an occassion such as a baptism):
Well, I hope you like it!!!
I'd like to thank each and every one of you who sent such kind and warm words regarding my fall. I appreciate every word but I do believe there's nothing at all to worry about -- again, I have no pain and nothing hurts. I know I have other family who do not live close who have expressed concern too, so just to show you that most of the swelling has gone down, I've taken a picture... lol!!! Now be forewarned I'm not looking my best, okay? The hubby took this picture just a bit ago and I'm at home, so I'm not primped up and I haven't curled my hair so I have a "flat" top... lol (hubby says I'm still beautiful -- isn't he a sweetie?)!!! The only swelling is very slight; the tip of my nose, my upper lip, and my jaw is just still a wee bit swoll:
So now you see? It's not so bad at all! By the time I go back to the dentist for the x-rays, all the swelling should be down! I hope this makes everyone feel a bit better!
Well, I'm off again! Still gots lots to do in a very short time, so...
Hugs, love you all, and I'll be seeing you!

Audrey, this card is breath taking! I love all of the different lace techniques that you used throughout. It's just so lovely! I am so glad that you are doing better too! No more falls, ok? The only fall you are allowed to associate yourself with is "Autumn"... Alright? Deal? Hugs!!!

So glad his eyesight is so bad :) On to your card - what a beauty! Oh my. Someone is going to be totally speechless when they receive this! Great job! Feel better - keep us posted after dental x-rays!

I am so sorry to hear about the fall, and I hope you are doing fine now.
This is such a wonderful card, a beauty with such elegant touch!
Beautiful card Audrey. Glad you are doing better.
I'm so glad you are okay Audrey. I was concerned and am glad that you aren't in pain. It's still good to see the dentist though so I'm glad you are going to do that. Falling is one of my fears because I hate that feeling of not having control. (My hubby would probably have a smartie pants comment if he saw that remark!) LOL! And your hubby is right Audrey, you still are beautiful! :)
Your card is beautiful for any of those occasions mentioned. Did you attach a brad at the top of the middle circle so it can twist sideways? That's such a wonderful feature in this card! Hope you all have a fun Halloween tomorrow and Buster gets lots of doggie goodies too!

Looking good girl, but you still need to slow down.
That is one breathtaking card, oh I love the texture, and the clean design.
It is a real keeper for sure.
Oh, dear Audrey! I leave you alone for a few days and come back to hear about your fall. I am happy that you are okay and looking great, but it must have been very painful and scary. You take care or we'll have to wrap you in bubble wrap!
Your projects are always so lovely, by the way, but it is you that we really care about.
Audrey, your card is absolutely gorgeous. OMG, I am so sorry, I didn't even know you fell, poor darling. You are beautiful ;) I'm glad to hear that you are ok. Please be careful. I know accidents happen no matter how careful we are.
Your hubby was right, Audrey, you are beautiful and I'm so glad you aren't in pain and that the swelling is going down! Continued prayers for your speedy recovery!!

OUCH! Audrey, you sweet dear - I hope you are healing well and taking care. You are such a darling. You have to stop hopping to my blog and just take a slower pace (just kidding - I know, a corny joke). :-) Sweetie, thank you for stopping by so often and leaving love. You are fabulous and you know what, your husband is right, you are still gorgeous even with the swelling. I love that you can still create the most gorgeous creations, inspiring us to no end! You're such a wonderful lady. I agree with Susan - you have to take care or we'll have to wrap you in bubble wrap. {{{{HUGS!}}}}
