Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a few thank you cards that I made for my surgeon and nurses who cared for me during my recent hospital stay.
I'm still recovering and will be for a few more months. In the meantime, my mojo is gone missing ... hopefully temporarily. :) I decided it would be best if I CASED some of my previous cards, although I tried to add some changes to each of them.
The card above is for my surgeon that performed my heart valve replacement. And below are a few more cards I made for some of the nurses that looked after me during my week stay at the hospital. The rest of the cards I sent were from my stash.
... and ... this was a card I made for a playday with my friends Susan and Christine, that we had to postpone. Smooshed distress inks and gesso with prints made from die-cuts. LOVE these colours! :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Sending wishes and healing prayers Loll for a continued recovery. Your cards are beautiful and are sure to be appreciated by those who took good care of you.
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful Loll and glad to hear that you are doing well. It is wise to take your time and only do what you feel able to do. I find my mojo disappears after a holiday so it is no wonder that you feel like this at the moment, but I know once the time is right you will be full of inspiration. These certainly don't lack creative skill, and I love the stencilled clocks, a great choice for your surgeon and the pretty enamelled look of the flower is so pretty against the washy, background, and the last is my particular favourite..I LOVE the colours and the echo print of the really wonderful flowers...gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteMy mojo has been playing hide n' seek too during a bout with bursitis. When it hurts to move, we'd rather not, right? Be patient-- that mojo will show up again!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see some of your cards again. They are all fabulous. Even though you feel as if your mojo is missing, it doesn't show. It is also not really surprising that you are not feeling terribly creative at the moment as your body is too busy trying to heal. I am glad all went well and you are recovering. It will take a while, but it will be worth it xx
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful thank you cards, Lolly filled with your love and appreciation for your surgeon, nurses and friends:-) I thought your doctors was so timely now he has given you a much longer healthier life:-) The nurses will love your pretty die cut flower card too. Your gorgeous smooshed with a beautiful choice of colors is so artsy and beautiful for Susan and Christine..they will Love it! TFS and keep on getting better every day, dear sweet friend:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful of you to share your creative talents with those who cared for you, Loll. Your cards are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful thank you cards, Loll! It's hard to craft when not feeling 100% yet but kudos for you for doing them. These are wonderful! I'm glad it's all over with for you. Have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are feeling more like creating again, my friend. Your mojo is there and will be loud and clear when you feel like getting back into your studio! Love the clock card! So perfect for a man and much more creative than I would have come up with! I especially love the last card with those gorgeous colors and graceful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you had the umph to make these, even if you did CASE yourself. They're all beautiful with such interesting designs, stencils, and dies. The background on the third card is incredible! Take care and take your time, Loll. We'll be here for whenever. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to send cards to the people who cared for you in hospital and I'm sure they appreciated them. Take care and keep crafting
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you back in the craft room Loll. You say your mojo is missing but it doesn't appear to be on this evidence! I found crafting a great way to recuperate, hope it is for you too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so beautiful! I bet the Doctor & Nurses will be thrilled! Hugs x
ReplyDeleteThe Dr. card is a great masculine card and the colors are great guy colors. The nurses will love their cards too. Both Doctors and Nurses are underappreciated and sending them thanks is a terrific idea. I love the colors on the last card and I'm so glad you are doing okay. Take your time and recover, we'll be here waiting.
ReplyDeleteFab makes Lolly.
ReplyDeleteGlad its all over and you're back home.
Loving the colours on the last one - can you remember which oxides you used... cos if you can I am going to shamelessly steal the colour combo! xxx
These are all beautiful Loll but you know my favorite is the last one because of the pinks and oranges...the added flowers make this just a STUNNING card! I am sure the Dr. and nurses will all appreciate receiving a hand stamped card...they probably don't receive too many that are of your caliber!! Continue to rest and heal...think of and pray for your recovery often!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards sugar and will be appreciated by your surgeon and nurses alike.
ReplyDeleteEveryday you get stronger - seems like yesterday when you were dreading you surgery now you are home and healing. Time does go by .....

Beautiful designs that I'm sure will be loved and appreciated by the receivers! Glad you are crafting a bit Loll! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteStunning cards. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Perfect to give to the surgeon and nurses. Good for you for having the energy to make them. I think CASEing previous cards is an ideal thing to do at this time. My favourite is the third one - just love the smooshed background with the printed flowers behind the die cut ones.
ReplyDeleteA trio of beautiful cards Loll - that last one in particular is stunning - the colours are beautiful together

A beautiful collection of thank you cards, Loll. I’m sure they were appreciated by the medical staff who looked after you. Hope your recovery continues to go well. Take care.

Beautiful cards, the first very masculine and awesome colors, but the second is so stunning in those amazing colors and boldness.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling well, and pray that you are feeling better each and every day!
It's so nice to see you doing a bit of crafting, Loll! That last card is absolutely gorgeous! I need to try something along those lines! Gorgeous colors and technique! You always inspire! Take care. Sue Nesheim
ReplyDeleteAll three thank-you cards are fantastic, Loll!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice of you to send the handmade cards to your doctors and nurses. I'm sure they'll appreciate your thoughtfulness. The card for the surgeon is artsy and I love the brusho (?) colors. The second card is a CAS beauty, and the third one is another artsy gorgeous card. The colors are amazing! Please take time and make recovery your number one priority. Your mojo will be back soon.

So pleased to hear you are home Loll and on the recovery road.... and with some special cards made for those who've helped you... they're just fabulous. Special hugs and take care Robyn
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to hear you’re doing well. There isn’t a card you’ve ever made that I don’t love! I try to case you, but they never compare.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know how you created the 3rd card
Take care,
Donna
So happy to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI love every card you make, and sometimes I try to case them, but they never compare to yours.
I love the 3rd card…would love to know how you made it…ink colors and the the die-cut print? It looks you also attached die cuts, too.??
I am glad to hear that you are making good progress and I am sure that your mojo will return in due course. Looking at these cards you wouldn't think it was missing though. Each one is very different and very special, but I think the last one is my favourite. Wishing you a smooth and event free recovery xx
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your cards beautifully convey the words of thanks for the treatment and care of the therapy staff. It is quite rare for medical staff to receive this type of thank you, and I am sure they will be very happy for this way of showing their gratitude.
