Shabby Happy Birthday Tag

Hello there!  Just a quick update on my surgery.  It's been almost three weeks.  My neck is healing well.  I have just been dealing with some strange side effects; namely, numbness in toes and odd muscle spasms.  The surgeon said it has nothing to do with my calcium levels but that maybe it is a side effect from the anesthesia.  I somehow do not think it would last this long.  I'm trying not to stress about it but would like to have an answer.  We will see.

On a lighter note, I have a tag that I made quite awhile ago that I do not believe I have shared yet.  Here it is.


The papers I used are from Pion Design's "Life is Peachy" collection.  I love the soft shades and sweet images that make up these papers.  The flowers and lace are from my stash.  Some of the flowers are Prima.  The beautiful butterfly and chipboard are from Reneabouquets.  I used a vintage button to attach the birthday ticket.  To finish things off, a bit of lace trim and pearls were tied at the top. 


If you click on each image, you can see the details better.  Since Fall is almost here, I'm glad I posted this springlike tag now!

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and visit as well as for the sweet comments that were left on my previous post.  I hope things are going well for you wherever you are on this planet.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a wonderful new week ahead!

    Good to get an update, though I'm sorry to hear there have been some unpleasant side effects. Hopefully they will be shortlived.

    What a delightful confection of a tag - so pretty in those peachy colour tones, and with all your trademark lacy embellishing... a real treat. Hope you'll be able to enjoy some crafting time soon.

    Patty,, I'm happy to hear your update, as well, but saddened by the side effects you are experiencing. I do hope the surgeon is correct in his summary, and that it will only be temporary. I'm praying you will have relief from these effects and you will get answers to your questions. I do know that doctors are humans and only have a limited knowledge of how a body reacts to many things. God will be the one who heals you--you are His precious child, and He will take care of you.

    Onto that tag, you have once again made magic with those papers in all those delicate layers. A stunning tag; I'm so happy you posted it, and I can't wait to see what you will create this fall. I'm so excited to see the calendar turn away from the summer months -- now if only the weather would cooperate! Sending healing hugs!
