Cocoa and Snow = Happy Glow ..... DP2 Challenge #102 & Card Patterns Sketch #135

Managed to get the card below made yesterday in between making Sunday lunch, delivering "Meals on Wheels" and another night of favourite TV viewing!  :D

Right now I have a Banana & Toffee Loaf in the oven and another 2 ready to go in =P~ ... The toffee has been stolen from the oldies house this morning ;)  I made it for Dad for Father's Day and he's not really fancied eating it since his diagnosis ... he's not really fancied eating anything to be fair.  So I thought I may as well use it up and throw it in with the manky banana's that are festering away in the fruit bowl :-&!  We've (Mum, Sister, Niece and me) sat till 2:00pm waiting for the GP to come out to see him.  He has a nasty chest infection on his right side :( .... the side that isn't affected by the lung cancer!  Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing at the minute :-S  He's really not very well at all, although we did manage to have a giggle when he took his huge anti-biotic pill and I told him "he was a really good boy"   Once again he looks so frail, helpless and tiny lying in bed it breaks your heart =(( to see him like that. 

BTW, the Banana Creme Caramels where a disaster, far too sweet for one and never really set properly for another ...

This weeks DP2 Challenge is "Furry Friends" ... this is my second entry for this weeks challenge.

Card Patterns have a fab sketch below ...
