Share Kindness :)

Blessings and TGIF!  I'm so looking forward to the weekend ahead!  We are heading to the beach on Sunday after church and grateful to the kids having school off on Monday.  We need the break!  I see some sandcastles and surf and sun in my future :)  We are off to see "The Vow" and having a belated Valentine's celebration since it fell on a Tuesday and well, with 4 kids and the schedules they keep, that didn't work out so well :)  The cherry on top, of course, would be time in the crafting Cabana and catching up on my huge stack of books! :)

Here's a quick card I tossed together as a thank you :)  I needed to send a dear friend a thank you card and pulled this one together in about 15 minutes.  I grabbed a stack of Crate Paper and a stamp from OBD and this came together super quick.  I decorated the inside as well but didn't want to show that just yet since this just went in the mail ;)   I love, love layers and mixing and matching papers but more than that, I love a card that comes together quickly and as planned, lol! :)





Have a blessed weekend, enjoy your plans including rest if that's on the menu!

Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!
