Bug Hugs

I made this card for my Mom...She had her knee replaced and while she's in the hospital I bring a cute card and homemade treats...hospital food sucks. I can say this as I'm a retired RN. (ps...I'm only 43....been retired since I was 28...stayed home with my munchkins as soon as we could swing it) Anyhoo... Back when I was nursing...the hospital food was fabulous. I always bought my food at work. Now in the new hospital...all the food is pre packaged and frozen...really bad. Anyways...I used my Cameo to make this one...lovin the new machine!!!
