Autumn Blessings

The last few cards have dealt with blessings. In honor of that I decided to share one of my favorite Bible verses today. Our country has been nurtured and protected by our heavenly Father for over 300 years. Our country has a wonderful Christian heritage. With him all things are possible! Blessings!

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."
Psalm 33:12

Take Time to Smell the Flowers

Do you remember webbed lawn chairs? I do. They were the staple of every family reunion at my house for the first twenty years of my life. Today we have camp chairs with cup holders but I just can't seem to get my old bones out of them easily... LOL... We always had some sort of green chairs. I think that was my Mom's favorite color. My mother is incredibly frugal. I remember her buying webbing to "re-string" her chairs. After all "the frames are still good." :-) This image from Lockhart reminds me of those chairs and when I saw the ribbon... I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I guess I need to send this card to Mom!

Thanks also to Our Daily Bread Designs Blog for recognizing one of my cards this week as their customer card of the week. I love their designs and look forward to doing more! If you want check the post out at
