Thumb up! NOT!! and some exciting news :)

Hello my friends! I hope your week has been great and getting ready ready for your weekend and WCMD tomorrow!!
Well, let me you, my week has been crazy, I think I never had a week like this one and I am glad that is over. My back still sore, but much better than last week and last Wednesday my family was getting ready to go to church for our pot luck and I was helping DD to get in the car and I forgot to move my hand before closing the door and my right thumb got on the way and it hurt like really bad! That day I cried like a baby, I honestly thought my poor thumb was broken, my husband was very scared. I have to thank God my thumb just got bruised and swallowed, but not broken.

Anyways, the good news are I can type and create (very slow) and I am happy for that.
Now, the great news are I am a "Guest Designer" for Melanie Muenchinger!!! She sent me an invitation few months ago and of course I said yes!! Few weeks ago she contacted me again to let me know she will be sending me her new set "Buds & Vases" so I can start creating something to show on the release party (It was yesterday), BUT I got the set yesterday and my thumb was still really sore, so I was sooooo sad I couldn't create anything in time (the mail was another problem!!)

Anyway, I just made 2 "Clean & Simple" cards with her new set!! and I hope you like them!
