An Elephant with a Tooth Ache Wishes You Well

So...my birthday shows up and I, all of the sudden, begin to fall apart.  I have fluid in my ear, my knee is killing me, and my back was giving me this weird pain that shot into a nerve in my hand.  I'm sure most of it is purely psychological (or related to my workout), but this is INSANE!  LOL!  So...in that vein, I decided that this adorable 100 Proof Press image was quite suitable for today.  (P.S.  I'm actually fine....I just need to whine now and then!  HA!)




Get Well Elephant


ACK!!!!  Is he not the cutest thing EVER?!  I seriously think is just adorable and I feel so bad for this poor little elephant!  You can find him, along with some other fun elephant images here on the 100 Proof Press website!  I paper pieced him with some Amy Tangerine papers from American Crafts.  I love the colors!!!  The beautiful ribbon is May Arts and the pretty scalloped rhinestones are Teresa Collins.




Get Well Elephant (detail)


Heeeee!!!!!  He is just TOO CUTE!  I want to hug 'im.  Just say'n.

On another note...I recently (as in five minutes ago) discovered Dulce de Leche Cheerios.  I got a sample in the mail and OH.MY.CARAMEL.AMAZINGNESS.BATMAN.  For reals you guys.  These are the yummiest Cheerios EVER!  And I'm a pretty big Cheerios fan, so that's saying something.  Seriously, you guys.  These are SO GOOD!!!  I would say it's like eating candy for breakfast, but, well, I actually do that quite often and this has FAR less guilt associated with it.

HA!  I SOOOO don't feel guilty when I eat candy for breakfast, but I've heard other people do, so I tossed that in there for good measure.

Annnnnnyyyyyyway......

Jingle Out.

See you on the 'morrow!

I DID read your last two posts, but I was scattered yesterday (to say the LEAST) and never returned to comment. I know. I should be FLOGGED! I'm sorry you are 'falling apart'! LOL! Seriously, I hope you feel WAY better (I think the dulce de leche Cheerios will help) because it's just plain intimidating knowing you FEEL bad and can STILL produce something as darling as that lil' elephant card! That just MAY qualify as the cutest one yet! LOVE YOU, Jen! And get better soooooon!

This is the cutest! I can see why you were Ackking over the ellie and like how you gave him a few polka dots! Lots of character he has even if he has an aching tooth. Adorable! Sorry you are coming undone. Age can be rough sometimes huh? hang in there! :-)

Jocelyn Olson said...

I don't often LOL when I see cards (especially at night when I am tired and cranky) but your card is a hoot! I LOVE it! Great image, and it's perfect for all of your aches and pains ;). I haven't tried the new Cheerios yet...I'm more partial to Lucky Charms for my morning sugar rush, but caramel for breakfast sounds yummy!

Tracy said...

I'm glad you're OK - if you SAY so - because that all sounded pretty miserable. And everybody should get to whine to a supportive audience once in a while, it's very helpful :)
I love the poor sad elephant - his polka dots & sweet bandanna make it a very cute toothache!
