Here is a card I made for my Dad when he was in the hospital last month : ) The card actually went postal the day he was discharged but I know he got a good laugh out of it even though he was home when he received it : )
My sister, Susan, sent me this adorable House Mouse Image in some Happy Mail she sent last month so I don't know the name of this particular one. I love House Mouse art and have several of their stamps but I hadn't seen this one before. I knew my Dad would get a real kick out of it so I colored it up and added my own computer generated sentiment. You can't see it here but the entire mirror is coated with Wink of Stella for a real "mirror like" look.
The crafty gals at the Just Add Ink blog are hosting a "Just add a B" challenge and so I will add my forlorned little buzz cut mouse to that fun challenge. I hope you'll considering joining the fun too!
I will also enter the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes" These are always great challenges and they come with a prize!! Hope you'll join the fun there too.
I want to thank all of you who sent me encouraging and get well wishes for my Dad. I really appreciate your concern : ) He is doing well!
Well I am off to get inky! Our weather is icky - cold and rainy so what a better way to spend a holiday weekend than in the craft room! I hope you get a chance to do something crafty today : )
Thank you so much! for stopping by.

OMG, Patti, you are too clever with that awesome sentiment...goes perfect with the little mouse looking behind him in the mirror...I LOVE it!! I bet he did get a big kick out of that. So glad to hear your dad is home and doing better, it relieves the worry, doesn't it?
We have sunshine, so I am thinking yard work...which isn't bad cause I have flowers that need to get planted and that just makes the yard look beautiful. There is always later tonight to play (if I am not too tired!) Have a Happy holiday weekend! Heart Hugs, Colleen
This is the perfect "get well" card! Love it, Patti - thanks so much for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
What an adorable Get Well card! Would make a hospital stay lighter :) Vick....i
What a sweet card!
Oh this is adorable and so very funny! Fabulous card!
Patti, Oh how funny. I love it.. the sentiment works. You very much do need to keep your eyes on those nurses.. Great card.. what a hoot. Dad did love it.
Great card Patti. Love the new elements of where you put cardstock, color and now it all seems like a "fresh new look" at more than the mouse but how and were we place items. The circle inked in different places, the second cardstock with just a little blue.... all a fresh new look to me anyway. Good luck with your entries.
Oh this is totally adorable Patti! Your sentiment you created goes so perfectly with your beautifully coloured image which made me laugh out at loud! So love it!! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week :-)
That poor mouse!! Funniest, yet true sentiment:)
Wonderful news to hear your Dad is on the mend, and I know that your card was another boost to his recovery! Those mice are adorable (I can't believe I just wrote that...I have mouse terror!) and the sentiment, too funny! Once again, a delight that has me smiling!

That is so cute and adorable and I bet your Dad had the biggest grin on his face when he opened the envelope too. I love it, I know.
