The puzzle card

This is one of the cards I put together after my SU Laura brought it over. I love the bright colors and fun puzzle look. I'm sending it to my grandson.

Thursday evening on my way to take out the trash, I fell on the garage floor. My shoe just stuck as I was walking out and the momentum carried me forward and flat on the floor. Took a chunk out of my knee and I fell on my boobs (which did nothing to block my fall) and my face. Banged my right eye on the concrete and my new glasses went flying. They now have a scratch on the lens but did not break. Nothing broke, I do have a black eye and I got the blood out of my jeans so all is well. What a klutz. If there had been time, I should have put the trash bag in front of me to break my fall. Who knew trash could be so versatile.



Be kind to one another.

Well thank goodness you were not seriously injured in that fall, although you could have been without realizing it!! I'm glad you're back up on your feet and dealing with it and were able to make this fun puzzle card! Do take care and walk carefully, ya hear?

Maria said...

Oh, my! So sorry to hear about your fall and that you are ok. I hope your knee and eye get to feeling better very soon! It’s very icy here today and I think of all those people who have to go out in it. I have the dog to take out, but otherwise staying in. If It’s icy or rainy there, too, please be careful. And, your card is super cute with the puzzle pieces. Wonderful color, too! Your grandson will love it! Take care!

My goodness, Brenda, I'm glad you weren't hurt too badly but I think it was still pretty traumatic! Lucky you could get up and didn't have to lay on the garage floor too long. Love these bright puzzle pieces and how you've placed them! What a fun card! Be careful as you heal.

Oh, dear! So glad to hear that you are okay except for some bruises but even that is bad enough. I know I have done klutzy things as well and fallen and I sure go down with a lot of force when that happens. Thankfully, it has been a long time. One time my shoe caught on the edge of a box and it was enough for me to lose my balance and down I went. Anyway, back to the card. I love it. What a fantastic design making it a puzzle and I love the colors and sentiment. I am sure the one getting it will love it too.

Wonderful puzzle card. You've used great colors. I'm so sorry about your accident and mostly about scratches on the new glasses. I hope it does not hurt to much.
A big hug.

Oh no!! You're amazing to crack jokes after such an accident! Glad you can laugh, but oh how scary! Please be careful--hope your knee heals quickly, Brenda. Hopefully your glasses are under warranty so you can get rid of the scratch. The puzzle card is really fun & perfect for your grandson!

Darnell said...

Eep! Brenda, I love your great puzzle card for your grandson in bright primary colors! I don't, however, love that you fell flat on your face. Uh oh, what are the boys going to say about that black eye?! Better stay holed up for a while! Seriously, I'm so glad you didn't break anything! And just think, you might have just saved a friend who will now toss that trash in front of them when they begin to fall! We have to keep our senses of humor and our glass-half-full attitudes. But do be careful and next time take the trash out before you hit the sauce! Big hugs! Darnell xxoo

Loll said...

Sorry to hear about your fall Brenda. A fall like that is a shock to the system. I hope you are feeling OK. Sending healing vibes your way!

What an adorable puzzle card Brenda! So artsy, fun, bright and creative! xx

Brenda said...

Oh Brenda, I hope you aren't going to start taking after me and all my falls! The concrete is the worst to fall on too my friend. I am glad you didn't break anything, but even with not breaking things it is still hard on our bodies. I have plenty of fat to cushion my falls, but it never seems to help. So please be careful and stay in if you can! Sending healing wishes and prayers to you!!! I love your bright and fun card! I can bet your grandson will love it too. Sending love and hugs, Brenda
