Gorgeous Leaves Happy Mail

Hello stampers and happy Monday. Right before I left Holland I got happy mail with Gorgeous Leaves. I was so happy! Crazy thing is, I was just thinking, this is the first time I have been in Holland where I didn’t get any happy mail. Thanks to Bianca Rebel for this beautiful card. Let’s take a look at it shall we?

Bianca used a stitched rectangle 3 1/8″ by 3 1/2″. This was matted on a piece of Old Olive cardstock 3 3/8″ by 3 3/4″. I just love the colours she used. That touch of Highland Heather is perfect and I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.

I thought I had written another blog post about this stamp set but it appears that is not the case. It is true that I did make another card and a tag with this set but it never made it into a blog post! Go figure, crazy squirrel. Let’s see if I at least have a photo of it.

Home Again!

 

This part was written late Friday evening but then my youngest daughter Rachel arrived home and I decided family time was more important and this blog post could wait.

(I just got home late this afternoon after spending a night at my parents’ place. It was so wonderful to see their joy at my return. Both of them were upbeat and I felt so blessed. The drive home was also sublime as the fall colours were still surprisingly vibrant this late in October. I thought this post was fitting! Gorgeous Leaves really is a lovely bundle and a great addition to any stampers stash. Have a super weekend and thanks for joining me today!)

And Now It’s Monday!

 

I don’t know about you, but far too often you hear stories about people dying suddenly and far too young. This serves as a reminder to really make your days and your time count. Enjoy your loved ones, savour and treasure their company. Indulge in the hobby that makes your heart sing. Send that card or buy that small gift that you know will surprise and delight someone. Sponsor a kit for a healthcare worker or teacher and restore their faith in the world. It really is the little things that matter so much.

I am looking out of my window as I am writing this blog post and I am enjoying the colourful leaves that brighten this cold and rainy day. My cup of tea is going to taste that much better and it is going to warm my hands and my heart. Thank YOU for stopping by today and reading my words.
