Good Day Ladies & Gents...
May you have the Luck of the Irish all day today!
I received this adorable St Patty's Day card using the Sock Monkey stamp set from my friend Mary.
She just loves the Sock Monkey Stamp set Item #111550 on page 90 in the Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. She dresses him for All Occasions! How FUN is that!?!?!
Happy St Patty's Day from the Sock Monkey & Me!

Update on Sammy...
Sammy is doing much better now. He has to wear what Steve and I call a 'helmet or lamp shade' when we are not with him, so he can't scratch or hurt his eye he just had surgery on. The doctor said 24/7 for 12 days, but when he's on my lap, or under my feet snoring (like now) he does not need his lamp shade, I know he is not scratching his eye:)
This is Sammy with his lamp shade on... What a little pea head in the lamp shade, don't you think...
Here is Sammy resting much better next to me without his lamp shade. The Cherry eye is gone, but the thrid eye lid is out for now. But it is going back in everyday. And he is almost back to himself. But he hates getting those drops in his eyes... He wants to scratch, so he always needs his helmet on before I put his drops in and a while after... Poor boy :)
Thank God, it wasn't anything that would cause him to loss his eye site!
Have a peaceful fun day!

Today, I'm made a Spring Shadow Box Card to get my mind off of my Sammy (6 year old beagle) who is having eye surgery. I dropped him off about 9:30 AM this morning. I have one more hour until I can call the vets to see how he's doing and when I can pick him up.
He has what is called 'Cherry Eye'. It's when a beagle's tear gland, swells adn pops out. It is reddish and is the size of a pea. It's been out for 7 weeks now, that is why we are having it surgically fixed. It is inflamed and bothering my poor little one. Sammy has been so good for 7 weeks as I drop eye drops in his eyes 2 times a day, but the drops didn't help...
Please say a prayer for him. If this doesn't work, we will have to have his tear gland removed, but then there is a chance he will get 'dry eye', which as you can image, wouldn't be good for a doggie... He would need drops in his eyes often.... to keep them moist. But I am not going to think about that. I'm hoping this surgery will do the trick and he will be A-Okay!
This is only the second time he had a Cherry Eye, the other time the gland went back into his eye socket after a few days.
Here is Sammy and below is the card I just made to try to pass the time... until I can call to see how he did... Billy and I have been hugging each other all day missing this little bugger! But soon he will be back home :)
Have a great evening!

This card was made by: Vicky Billero
She noticed that when you bleached Melon Mambo cardstock you get the Stampin' Up! Barely Banana color! So she incorporated Barely Banana cardstock in her card.
She also has her heart on a string, so it spins :)
AWESOME Creation Vicky!!!
Love, Love Love it!!!!
Have an awesome day!
