My BFF (my DH) needs heart surgery soon. I swing between feeling so grateful to have him in our lives to being afraid that I might have to give him back to God sooner than I would like. I needed to make a card today to remind each of us to enjoy "right now" - to live in the moment.
Susie Australia, our amazing Queen this week is a a dose of joy, both in the delightful side step scene cards that she makes and in her sweet and positive comments. This card doesn't CASE a specific one of hers rather her sunny style. I also used the FTTC challenge to fussy-cut as inspiration. Details on the blog: http://flourishes.org/blog/
Thanks Trish for choosing a real gem of a Queen this week - sorry that I am so late in getting to it, Susie! Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.
