I combined the magnificent Biggan's sketch with the Mother's Teapot challenge this week to bring some joy to a sweet young girl facing a year of chemo. You can read Abby's story here:
The Mother said we could have extra cookies if we wrote a ditty to finish the words on this week's inspiration pot. I'm all about extra cookies!
"Shoes were always calling me.
I had to own each pair I'd see.
Spiked pink heels and silver flats,
Tall black boots and satin spats,
Shoes with patent leather shine...
Only memories now are mine.
Shoes were always calling me,
But bunions now are all I see."

WOW! Love your poem....ain't it the truth!! Who can wear those shoes anymore or who would want too??? Not me!! My daughter in her early 40's still wears them all the time and she is already 5'10'' in her bare feet!! Oh to be young again....NOT!!

Such a sweet and pretty card. I love that you sparkled up the shoe. Great poem too - I know "Da Mudder" will find you some extra cookies for this master piece.
