Meljen's Design DT Day - Thankful

For me, this time of year is to stop and think about what you are grateful for!  I am truly thankful for my family.  My husband, 3 children, friends and all of my adopted children.

But, mostly my sister Darsie and her son Al.  They were rescued by their neighbor, letting them know that their home was on fire!!  It is very scary getting that early morning phone call from a terrified sister and know you can't do much but encourage her and her child.  She is my BEST friend, very loving, forgiving, generous, compassionate and I would be lost without her in my life.  Her son Al, is an awesome, funny, loving, helpful and fabulous son to her, he to would leave a large void in my heart.

So to all I love and cherish, hope you are just as THANKFUL as I am that you are all in my life.  I love everyone of you!!

The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge

It's time for a new sketch over at The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.  For me this sketch was harder, because I am not a clean and simple creator.    First, I used Dots Cuddlebug folder to create my background.  Next, cut out my hearts with the Classic and Scalloped Hearts by Spellbinders.  My designer paper is Dots & Stripes by Echo Paper Paper Co.  The sentiment is Friendly Messages by Stampendous.  My finishing touches are three red pearls.

Here is the new sketch below:
