Thanks!

Hello!  I am so happy to share a card today.  I've been working on a few things, but nothing I can share yet.  The sentiment on this card is just perfect because there are lots of things I have to be grateful for about it.  First, I had just a bit of time a few nights ago to make a card.  Yay! :) I knew it needed to be quick, so I sought inspiration from a few favorite challenges.  Sketch, color palette, stamps...check, check, and check.  Thank you:
CAS(E) This Sketch #154
ColourQ #323
Simon Says: Something New (a new stamp set "Fresh Floral Wrap-Ups" in this case)
 
Third, the reason for this card is a big thank you.  We had a neighbor stop by last week to welcome us to the neighborhood.  She brought us some yummy banana bread and our kids ran around the yard for a few minutes.  Her kind gesture brightened my whole week.  I can't wait for the house across the street to sell, so I can return the favor.  And my final thanks is that the sun came out today, so I could take a quick picture and share it here.  Amazing how one little card could fill my heart with so much gratitude.  I hope you have a wonderful week filled with lots of things to be grateful for! :)

Everyday we wake up in our own home, warm and safe with food on the table, surrounded by family and friends - is a million reasons to be thankful.
