DH (who, btw, is the most INCREDIBLE Mr. Mom ever) insisted I keep my sick self in bed although he broke down and let me color Sunday night. Haha! All my copics were brought to me with my bag of stamped images. The girls and I colored and watched cartoons.
I finally felt well enough today to work on some projects. In all of my fever and delirium, I kept dreaming of cards and altered items.
Tammy, one of my new TGF addicted friends over at SCS, asked me what I'd do with empty tissue boxes. Seems as if we all have some lying around after this cold season, and especially after my yucky weekend. (BTW, Tammy made the cuuuutest house out of one, check out her blog to see it!)

I'll give you another hint on Thursday if you promise to come and join the challenge. Hey...I see your fingers crossed behind you. Regardless, come back and see me again - that's if I don't relapse. Whoa, I need to go knock on wood now.
