Anyway, here is the card I made -- I got 4 of them done. I'm actually surprised the picture came out.
We did spend the cold night at home but we didn't sleep well because we're used to having the fan on during the night. So the quiet was deafening. Our neighbors across the street had electricity and the ones through the woods behind us had it...go figure. It was cold Wednesday morning when I got up to go to work. No lights, no heater in the bathroom, no hair dryer. The no hair dryer was the worse...my hair does not look good with no hair dryer to fluff it up.
Wednesday at 5:00 pm we still had no electricity so we decided to check into a hotel and eat. After checking in, my husband opened the soap to wash his face and used one hand towel and then headed to Longhorn. We needed to run by home to pick up something we'd forgotten and saw the electric trucks (from Virginia, thanks guys). Lo and behold, we had electricity. YEA.
Went back to the hotel to check out and they charged us 1/2 because Brad had used the soap and hand towel - the guy said the maid still had to clean. WHATEVER. We were glad to be in our own bed and warm.
This next card is for the Stars & Stamp blog challenge: "Our challenge this week is “On The Farm” We challenge you to make cards for our heroes to send home to their loved ones using a “farm” theme." Well, after spending the day working on horse farm insurance, I knew just what I wanted to do :)
You can't see it but the letters are crimped. I love my crimper but forget to use it!
By the way, I'm an insurance agent that specializes in horse-related insurance products. We write policies for horse farms, liability for trainers/instructors, and mortality/medical on horses. If you are interested in learning more, check out our website: www.FrysEquineInsurance.com
Looks like you and I went down to the horse farm for these OWH cards :) I've always been fond of horses and at one time we owned 2 of them, but those days are long gone! I admire your determination to stamp by candlelight, and you did a good job with it too! I'm glad your power came back on, but that was one VERY expensive bar of soap your hubby used huh? Sheesh!
