Nasty little Tooth

On my last day of work I shattered a filling. Of course my dentist is closed on Fridays and it was Memorial Day weekend so they were going to have Monday off too. I tried to deal with the pain but I eventually called the emergency number. One of the dental assistants graciously offered to see me quickly and put a temporary in. So I decided to make her a card and throw in a gift card as well. Hope she likes it =)

Mine looks nothing close to hers but I still like it ;)

Baby Train

I'm self-proclaiming myself the Queen of Procrastination! 

My friend asked me to make thank you card for his sister's baby shower over 2 months ago. And I of course waited until the very last minute to make 40 thank you cards. I think I would have been okay had I made the thank you cards with a simple design... but I decided to pick a pattern with a bunch of piecings and waaaaay to much stitching. 

But I did it! And I've got a few hours to spare before the baby shower =)
