Today I am sharing this all occasions card with a musical theme. The papers are from Die Cuts With a View, purchased at Michael's Craft Store.
The music notes die is Memory Box, the flower petals are Wild Orchid Crafts, the violin charm is from Emerald Creek, the floral wood flourish is Scrapiniec, the bow is made from silk Sari ribbon, the crystal pins are from Michael's and everything else is from my stash. Still playing with new laces!! lol

Today I want to update you on the status of the two baby squirrels that took up residence on my patio back in September. They were orphaned and forced to leave their nest a few weeks earlier than they should have. The boy Zippy, although small, seemed to be in fairly good health. The girl Dolly P was a different story.
Dolly was malnourished and much too tiny for her age, weighing 30% less than Zippy. I worked very hard to get her a high fat diet with nutrients and supplements. For three months I fed her every single day and by the end of November she was starting to look plump and healthy. This was Dolly just before she started to show symptoms.
Around that time, the two babies ventured off on their own to find permanent homes. Wherever they ended up, they picked up some sort of bug. It was either Mange or Mites and Dolly was very sick! I won't show you all of the graphic images, but this is how she looked when she first got sick. By the time I was able to get the medication, this was covering most of the right side of her body and spreading to to her head and left side.
I spent the month of December nursing her back to health and trying to keep her weigh up. She isn't completely out of danger, she has lost almost half her fur on one side making her defenseless against the cold and she's lost weight again. I'm still working hard every day to help her survive the winter, but look how great she looks now!
Zippy has also gotten well and is just as cute as a button!
I realize that Zippy and Dolly are just two squirrels in a world of many, but this is my first successful rehabilitation since I started trying to care for the wild squirrels in my area. I don't often mention the losses in public, but I sure am happy to share a win with you!!
What a great way to start 2018!! Hugs to you all ❤❤
Gorgeous creation, I always love the papers from DCWV. Congrats on helping those 2 needy squirrels, they are looking good, and I hope they get through the winter well. Hugs, Valerie

Oh my, wonderful!! Your card has so many soft elements, it's fabulous how delicate and elegant it looks!! And that wooden flourish with the lace, the pom-pom and the delicate flower remember me a gorgeous pendant or a dream-catcher!!! LOVE! :) Any detail is just stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to know that you have had a lot of care for these two little orphan squirrels, and that you continue to be a "Mum" for them, especially for the poor Dolly!! Zippy is so cute (and more lucky than her sister), but my favorite is Dolly, such sweet face she has! The damage on the skin seems gone away, you have had a fabulous work!!
I think it isn't easy rehabilitate wild animals, especially when you have to medicate them, but you are the most patient and big-heart lady... :)
Hope they understand that you want help them and that they will be well and safe this winter with your care! :) Well done, it's a great work and a fab result for the New Year beginning!
Hugs and fingers crossed for the twins!!
Gorgeous card Pamellia, love the shabby layers and choice of embellishments.
ReplyDeleteNature pics are fab as always.

Hello Pamellia, what a stunning card, I love all the details, especially the music staves and the gorgeous little violin charm, it's a wonderful design.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness there are people like you who care so much for wildlife. i would imagine not easy to medicate and care for these little critters, but you've done it and made such a difference to their lives, well done and I'm so pleased to hear that Dolly continues to improve, hugs Kate x
What a gorgeous card Pamellia, the colours are wonderful and the tulle/net looks fantastic. I hope that little Dolly continues to improve under your loving care and that they both thrive. You are an amazing person!! xx

ReplyDeleteA truly stunning card - I am always fascinated with the way you combine so many elements, always with such wonderful results! You have also done such a good job with Dolly too! Well done! Chrisxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, I love the tiny violin and the notes! Pamellia you are an amazing person!! What a blessing that little Dolly and Zippy ended up on your porch, they obviously wouldnt have survived with your wonderful care! They are cute as can be!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what an amazing card, so much fabulous lace and I adore the tiny violin and the sweet flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour two little orphans are looking so much better and it is great to see Dolly P looking so good, I confess that I have been very worried for her. Does she still have that gorgeous curly haired tail? I aways think she looks like she has just come from the hairdressers. You must be so pleased when you look at the two of them, keep up all of your good work.

So grateful little Dolly is responding to your doctoring, Miss P. They are darling - and it looks so cold there! Your beautiful creation with all those textures and layers is lovely! Again, I like that tulle covering the entire front, and all the laces are quite amazing. Did you fussy cut some of the "dangling" lace pieces? I can always recognize your creations because they are done in that loving "Pamellia" style. Stay warm! hugs, de
