Imke's hosting our newest
Little Red Wagon challenge and she's chosen the theme "sympathy". I did something a little bit different.
A few weeks ago, my son had a pretty nasty accident at work. His little finger was mostly amputated although stitched back together. Unfortunately, the finger is useless given that the circular saw he was using totally ate up the joint cartilage and also cut tendons and a nerves. Jack will have the finger amputated (with a bit of a stump!) on Thursday. Because our family has a bit of an odd sense of humour, Jack asked for a farewell party for his finger which we'll have tonight (Wednesday). He's asked for poutine and cheesecake. Yum!
I created the image in Canva using a pre-created hand with the little finger sticking out. If I had to make the card again, I think I would cut the image and sentiment separately and back them each with the red. That said, I REALLY hope I never have to make any such card again!!
Please head over to
