Quick and Simple Valentine

I'm switching gears! The last few projects have taken quite a bit of time to put together. So today I decided to do something quick and easy. You know... the kind of project that comes out of a handful of scraps in your stash! I love those projects. Sometimes it is nice to just throw something together. I call them my clean and simple cards! So here's to slowing down a little and enjoying the simple things! Make it a wonderful day!

Sweet Delights

I'm finally back in Kentucky! I am so glad to be back and crafting again. My jaunt to the Sunshine State left me brimming with new ideas and color combos. Saturday I began implementing some of those ideas. I worked on this card last night and intended to finish it today. Well, amazing how things work out... One of those sweet delights I hold close to my heart is our dear pastor of 22 years. This morning he announced to our congregation his intention to accept a pastorship at another church. This is so bittersweet for me. Pastor was my first friend when I came to that church over 7 years ago. He married my dear husband and I. We will miss him terribly. I know that God has called him down a new path but I am sure he will be just as much a delight in his new church as he has been to ours. Ironically he is going to Florida... guess I might get to visit there again! Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day! Enjoy...
