I made this poster to tease my grandpa. I created it last Sunday. Minutes after I finished it I got a call that my grandpa wasn't doing very well and needed to be picked up from church. I rushed and got him. He was ok, but not his best at all. Keith and I took him to the ER. It was a long night for grandpa but he was doing much better when the doctor came in to tell him the results of the tests. He apparently had an infection that caused him to get really sick. They decided to keep him overnight. My poor grandpa didn't want to stay and I know he wished I didn't make him go to the hospital. He ended up staying three nights which suprised us, but they just wanted to make sure they did all the testing they needed before releasing him. They were extra cautious because he lives alone.

My original plan with this poster was to take it to a care center he volunteers his time at. I'm still going to do that, but hung two of these up in his hospital room too. He got a really good kick out of it and that made me feel good.

He is home and doing great now.

The torn border on the digital paper above is on the Family CD which is on sale for only $5 this week during our birthday celebration. It's a huge CD that normally sells for $25. The border is square on the CD, but looks pretty good squished down this way. It can go over any digital paper and look really cool.
