This font doesn't go with the stamp but I had fun with it. The light blue colored pencil helped to coordinate the lettering and the stamp.
Nicky didn't get a RBG stamp last month - so I gave this a try. That border is too big.

My grandson needed some reassurance that there would be a complete recovery after breaking his forearm - both bones. Luckily he's a lefty and broke his right arm and did not have to have surgery - but it's still a learning experience to go through the process of casts and cast removal and the skin's response to the cast. It's not pretty when you get the cast off.
Nanna's idea was to find out how long it takes for your body to grow an entire new layer of skin. My guess was 60 days. Ben's guess was 90 days. Here's what we found:
The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) replaces itself entirely about every 28 to 40 days for most healthy adults. New cells are created at the deepest layer of the epidermis, slowly pushing up to the surface, dying, and shedding off to reveal fresh skin. [1, 2, 3]
This cellular turnover rate fluctuates based on a few distinct factors: [, 2]
- Age: The cycle runs at top speed in your teens and 20s (about 28 days), but slows down as you get older, often taking 45 to 90 days for adults over 50. [1, 2]
- Depth: While the epidermis continually regenerates, the deeper layer of skin (the dermis) does not renew itself in the same way, which is why deeper injuries and surgical scars are typically permanent
