A rough start, deserves a sweet card

I had high hopes for today being a nice, low key sort of day. Then I fell in the front door on my way back from the bus stop.

Luckily, the baby in my arms made a graceful landing on her bottom on the floor.

Me? I twisted my leg pretty badly, and it was stuck outside the house with the door closed on it.

Too bad it is still WAY too many hours early to enjoy a delicious pom-tini like my little penguin friend here.

Even still, this card makes me smile. Has some of my favorite elements - polka dots, sparkle, ruffled ribbon (YUM) stitched ribbon (any time I can use BOTH these ribbons on a card I'm a happy girl) and these SWEET new penguins from The Cat's Pajamas.

Have a great day, well at least a better day than me! *giggle*

Love the card, and the penguin is adorable.
Sorry to hear about your fall, I hope you are recovered already. At least you can still craft and post - the important things in life ;-)
