Hello and welcome to the September edition of Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday challenge, taking place right here on my blog. I'm so glad you stopped by and hope you will join in this month too. There were some wonderful entries last month, a little slower than usual but still lots of beauties thank you all so much for sharing! My "Top Picks with a Twist" are at the end of this post.
As most of you know, the theme at Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday is now always ....
Anything Goes
and instead of a challenge theme there will be a "Top Pick Twist", meaning I will select a twist from all of the entries for the Top 3. Nobody will know what the twist will be (not even me) until the end of the challenge. So do link up all of your crafty makes, your entry might be the one inspiring the Top Pick twist :) The linky tool is at the end of this post.
Here is what I came up with this month using a cute cat image in remembrance of my dear ginger cat Thomas.
On September 1st was Ginger Cat Appreciation Day and I miss my dear handsome cat Thomas so much. I had to say my final goodbye to him on August 17th. When we adopted him in September of 2010 I had no idea that losing him would be this hard and these almost 15 years of having him flew by so fast. He had a fun and adventurous life, always up to something and he knew how to keep us entertained! What a special kitty he was, my constant companion inside the house and out in the garden. My heart is still broken but I am so thankful for all the wonderful memories he left me with.
After stamping and coloring the image (I used Memento ink and Copic markers on Xpress it blending card), I cut out the image using Penny Black's Postal die set. Then I used a thin washi tape to mask off the edges and used Tumbled Glass Distress ink for some color around the image. The patterned paper I recently won from Diana's challenge at DL.Art.

The sentiment is part of the same stamp set and I added the tiny hearts made with an Avery Elle die set which unfortunately seems to be retired so I don't have a link to share.

Living with anxiety, insomnia, or panic disorders can be overwhelming, but effective treatment options like Ativan (lorazepam) have been trusted for decades to provide relief. With today’s digital healthcare solutions, it has become easier than ever to Buy Ativan 1mg Online safely and discreetly, giving patients access to medication without the added stress of multiple pharmacy visits.
Ativan 1mg is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms of anxiety and related conditions. As a benzodiazepine, it works by calming the nervous system and restoring balance, making it an essential option for those who struggle with frequent tension, restlessness, or sleep disturbances. Many people prefer the 1mg dose as it is widely prescribed for both short-term and ongoing management under medical supervision.
When you choose to Buy Ativan 1 mg Online, you gain the benefit of convenience and accessibility. Reputable online pharmacies often provide competitive pricing, prescription verification, and doorstep delivery, ensuring patients receive their medication without delays. This is especially beneficial for individuals who may find it difficult to visit a local pharmacy due to busy schedules, transportation challenges, or social anxiety.
However, it is important to use caution when purchasing medication online. Always ensure you are buying from a licensed, reliable pharmacy that requires a prescription. Consulting with a healthcare professional before beginning or adjusting your dosage is vital to ensure safe and effective use.
In summary, the ability to Buy Ativan 1mg Online provides patients with a secure, convenient, and private way to access treatment. By choosing trustworthy sources and following medical guidance, individuals can take control of their mental well-being and achieve much-needed relief from anxiety and stress.
A very fitting tribute to Thomas, it's always so hard in the early days and weeks, but as I said the other day, as time passes you will be able to reflect on the happy times with him.
