What a waste! Your card is stunning, I love how you partially cut the design and gave it a little underskirt. So pretty! And how fortuitous it looked like little bubbles! I collect napkins when I go away, so far France is taking the lead for beautiful napkins, but I am off to Italy I hope this year so will see how they fare. My mum actually made a card from a napkin with a beautiful Tuscan countryside image for my Dad on their 50th wedding anniversary and it was the first time I had seen a napkin on a card (I was new to cardmaking then). I am waffling, so will shut up. So glad you are on the mend!

So happy to know you're getting stronger. I am really enjoying the hummingbird pictures.

I have several decorative napkins that I inherited from my mom (yes, she was kind of a hoarder and saved everything...and now I've been designated as keeper of the hoard...sigh), so I really need to use up one or two (out of about 75....another sigh...). Napkins are so thin that I was worried about the glue showing through, but I'll just jump in and give it a try because you've inspired me so much.
