This month is a rough one for me. It used to be rough financially because there were three birthdays, all before Thanksgiving. Now it's rough because they're not here: brother Bill, my Mom and my Dad. It's weird to go to the cemetery and see all November dates on the headstone. I still have the memories and love but I'd rather have the financial issue.
I have a couple of acorn stamps but didn't feel like using them, since everyone had such cute acorns and squirrels. My washi has oaks and acorns and I saved an old wine charm that had an acorn. The square piece is an artist piece, embossed and stenciled. Someone mentioned wire to me last week, wire I've had forever and I used that too.

I am coming across this late. What an amazing card rich with symbolism! Each element was chosen well. The Washi tape is fabulous giving a lesson on the growth of that mighty tree. It reminds me of someone saying "from little acorns, mighty oaks grow". And so true in the reverse as well. It's the rare person that catches this and so enjoys life in each moment. {luv}U resident philosopher!
