Grateful.
I'm grateful for the simple things...
The sound of my children's laughter.
The way it feels when my husband wraps his arms around me.
That my Dad made it one more year.
That my Mom can still take care of him.
That God has the wheel.
That the stamping community cares so much.
Yeah. I'm grateful.
Hugs,
Gina K.
Exquisitely stated, Gina.
A perfect reflection.
Thank you.

I love this card. And I love your comments too. We all need to be more grateful than we are. I know I do. I forget to see the small things while looking at the big things!
Thanks for reminding us of our blessings.

Wow! This is a gorgeous card Gina! I love everything, but the stark relief of black and white makes it so outstanding! Please tell us what you used on the card itself. I know it has to be an embossing tool of some kind, but what is it? I don't have any of the embossing templates, but sure wish I could afford to add them to my tools. I am living on Social Security and have to be very, very careful with my cash. Thanks for showing us the awesome card.

I love your card and your list of what you are thankful for. It's good to take time to count your blessings, isn't it? Thank you for the reminder.
Reply to this
ooops! I almost forgot to say how much I love the photo! Is there a certain setting on your camera that makes the background blurry while the acorn stays in focus? I would love to be able to accomplish this same effect.
