Eek! I Have Missed an Entire Week

Good Afternoon Crafty Friends,

I finally had time to sit down today and make a Halloween card after being out of commission for a week. First, I went home sick with no voice last Thursday. Couldn't teach without talking...and kids do not understand sign language all that well either. Then, my son got sick. I had to get him from college and bring him to the ER. He is better now and back at school. Finally, first quarter ended and grades were due.

What a week!
