JUL18VSNB ~ Friday July 13 @ 6 pm ET ~ Involuntary Staycation
Challenge Title: Involuntary Staycation
Hostess: tessaduck (Brenda)
Keyword: JUL18VSNB
Date: Friday July 13, 6:00 pm ET
When I was teaching, summers were supposed to be either trainings or traveling. Eh! Often, and especially as my career was winding down, they were time for surgeries: hysterectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, skin cancer. Even after retirement, I had two more surgeries (both shoulders), during the summer. Well, technically one was in autumn, after a summertime accident. Crazy times.
Anyway, I was sort of forced to use my summer breaks for recovery. Medically enforced staycations.
Do you know someone who is limited by illness, accident or surgery?
For this VSN, please make a get well or speedy recovery card. Don�t send it to me. Thankfully, this summer, I�m healthy!

How ironic that my first challenge already used a get well theme! But for this one, I used a different stamp set. Sad to say that you can't have enough of these types of cards! I tried to make mine bright and cheery. Hope you enjoy.
We actually just had one of these in May. Our son got sick and he we had to cancel our trip to MN to see my husband's parents. A few years before my daughter and I caught the flu and we had to cancel our trip to see my mom. Weirdly, we just are not meant to visit family!
