My oldest daughter's birthday is at the end of June, but we delayed her family birthday celebration until mid-July as my husband (her father) had knee replacement on her birthday, and a week later, he ended up returning to the hospital for another week with gastric complications. By mid-July, we were ready to host a barbecue to celebrate Michele and her Dad's continued recovery. Needless to say, I needed to finish her birthday card!
I have written several times about our little unicorn, Michele's 20-month old, little daughter, so dubbed during her stay in the NICU after her birth. Because her veins were so small, her care team inserted her intravenous application into a vein in her head, which stuck up almost straight up, giving her the look of a unicorn with its cute little horn. My inspiration for Michele's card came from this scenario. I have acquired a multitude of stamps and dies with a unicorn theme because of this story that became part of our lives, and I thought it time the mother of our unicorn received her very own unicorn card! Take a look at Michele's finished card both inside and out!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn for your kind comments. My DH is doing well with his knees, but then decided he should try his hand at A-Fib...that's been an interesting process with 2 visits to ER!
