Thank You!





This post is about thanking someone special... actually 2 special someones... oh, let's make that 3 special someones!!!


First let me show you the cards; then I'll express my thanks!



Isn't that the cutest owl image???


THANKS #1 - Tami!!! Wow! Can you believe it? Tami saw this owl stamp when she was out shopping and immediately thought of me! I am so honored! Not only did she think of me, but she purchased the stamp... and mailed it to me promptly! All because she knows how much I love making owl cards!

THANK YOU, TAMI!

THANKS #2 - My Son!!! Many of you know that my son has been living over 800 miles away for the past two years. I have missed him tremendously. He recently made the decision to move back here and return to school (he didn't finish college after high school). I am so proud of him. I know this wasn't an easy decision. I also want to thank him. He takes a genuine interest in me. When I was struggling with the layout for this card, he encouraged me and said, "If you don't like it, don't throw it away. I'll take it." He cheered me on and I finally finished two cards. I asked him which one he liked best and he chose the horizontal one. (shhh... don't tell him, but I'm going to give it to him.)

THANK YOU, JEREMY!

Oh Ms Forest, the cards turned out AWESOME!!!! I just love what you did with the layouts and that that DP with the owls peeking out make me giggle. I am glad that you enjoyed the stamp and it worked for you. No big deal, really!
