My Shoe.....

Before we begin, let me just say, I'm not a maker of shoes...it is just not my thing, but when one of the design team members suggested a blog hop, I thought it would be fun to try again.  I didn't get to be a part of the blog hop yesterday because I had to be away with my daughter and for some reason, I felt I needed to be here to do it.  I'm getting a little more daring with scheduling my posts ahead of time and now realize I could have managed.  That is water under the bridge.  Did you get to hop along and see all the wonderful creations?   Anyway, here it is...a day late and a dollar short, as my Mom would say!

I used a shoe template and gussied it up a little to my own taste and I think it turned out pretty well.  I tucked some of my favorite things down inside and made it a little gift.  I used HCPC 3376 Distressed Leaves PreCut Set and HCPC 3320 Vintage Word Background PreCut Set...the both are Heartfelt Creations and can be purchased at the link I provided. 

Just a note...my daughter got her second injection into her herniated disk yesterday.  We are looking for a miracle...I know one is out there!  She has improved, but then lost some ground.  We are hoping this one will do the trick, as the injections are supposed to build on themselves.  She was ready to go home and lay down...the procedure was a little harder on her this time.  I'm anxious to hear how she is feeling this morning.

That's about it for me this morning.  I'm off to blog hop a little this morning and then on to my daily routine.  Have a wonderful day and remember to "Breathe"!

Your shoe is gorgeous. Your special flower is perfect on there. I have never tried making a shoe and I'm sure it wouldn't turn out gorgeous like yours. Hope you hear good news when you hear from your daughter.

I am not a shoe person either, Glenda! But this shoe is elegant, gorgeous, and who could possibly think this shoe anything but fabulous. I hope your daughter is better today! Hopefully it is your weather. Hugs my friend, have a happy day.

Glenda, your shoe is just gorgeous. I love that flower, ribbon, and, ok, I love everything about it.

In the days before kiddos, I had this thing about shoes. Now, the job requires closed toe, and something that I can stand in for up to 8 plus hours. How sad!, LOL!
I love your shoe, much more fancy than what I ever had!

Here's hoping your daughter gets some relief from the injections. I've had patients that got good relief, and those that had to consider other options.

Oh, my! This is simply fabulous, Glenda! If I didn't know how much they would hurt my feet, I would love to have a pair of shoes just like that! The flower is gorgeous, and I love how you embossed the toe area. So, so CUTE!
