TSOT462 Bee Sympathy

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  It is hot, hot, hot today! Hoping to cool off this afternoon in a pool somewhere!  My card today uses the sketch from Try Stampin On Tuesday:

and it is a sympathy card for the Amish friend who gives John (and sometimes me!) his bee sting therapy.  Have you ever heard of that?  You can read a little about it here.  John started doing it for numbness and pain in his hand after my brother told him about it. He is always trying alternative medical things, anything to not have surgery!  Anyway, our friend's MIL passed away, so I thought a bee-themed card was in order:

I used the stamps and dies from the recently-retired Honey Bee bundle; the sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, and the flowers on the blue panel are from Bloom and Grow:

And the inside Bible verse is an old one from Our Daily Bread Designs:

Hopefully it will bring some comfort to the family!   And I had  Mr Lapp 's permission to take a couple pictures of him stinging my brother:

He holds the bees with a tweezer so he can get right at the area of pain; apparently he himself was in excruciating pain from back issues and sought relief from bee stings when he had exhausted all other avenues.  He was so excited about the results, he decided to learn to do it himself and now shares it with his "patients" all over the area.  John believes it is beginning to help him; my brother and I dislike the swelling and itching afterwards; the stings really aren't that bad, so we're not quite sure it's worth it!  So we'll see how it goes with John...I'll keep you posted! Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!
