I am Thankful It's Friday

Yep, thankful it's Friday.........it seemed to be a very long week. You know those weeks that just seem to drag on and on and on.......yes, it was one of those weeks. I had to have DEEP pockets this week! Between the five hundred dollar eyeglasses and the oil change that grew into a three hundred dollar bill and sorting out a couple of small personal issues, it was a LONG time coming!

So now it's here!!!! Yay...........well, not for nine hours or so. Have to go into work, but since I love my job, that is no biggie.

I am looking forward to Chillaxin' this weekend and stamping!!!! Staying in my Pajamas, letting my hair go wild and stamping!!!! It's like a pop song: Stamping with myself, all I want to do is stamp stamp stamp, I wanna stamp all night!!! Yep Stamp! Stamp with abandon, Stamp without interruption. Well, I guess that you get the hint eh?

I hope those of you that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday enjoy an extended weekend and aren't too stuffed to move today!!! Enjoy your shopping and stay safe if you are venturing out for the sales.

The image for this card is from Stampotique. I used creamy caramel, Rose Red and Chocolate Chip. coloured with Copics. I distressed the cuttlebugged panel by rubbing the inkpad over the paper in a circular motion. Nothing complicated to this card, the image is so pretty that is stands alone!

I am Thankful

I am thankful for the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. I am thankful for the clean air that I breath and the fresh water I drink. I am thankful that I live a life that, in comparison to many other people in the world, is relatively stress free.

I am thankful that I have been blessed with good friends and loyal family. I am thankful that I have one child to love and a heart that has proven to mend itself together when fragile or broken.

I am Thankful That I can Throw my head back towards the heavens and give thanks........that I can see all the beauty on the earth, that I have a brain to process through the ugly and for ears that can drink in all the wondrous sounds of the world.

I could write pages and pages of everything that I am thankful for.........the little things that I take for granted each day, like my freedom to hop in my truck and go where I want to go or do what I need to do. I am thankful for more profound things as well......... for living in a Democratic Country, to be a woman in Canada where I am not repressed from realizing my goals, for having a healthy child ..............but most of all

I am Thankful that I am

I wish all my Canadian friends a peaceful Thanksgiving. Take some time to reflect on the things that you are thankful for. Then look toward the heavens and smile.

























I coloured this card for the colour Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers last Tuesday, but I didn't get around to finishing it.

Last night, loaded down with Turkey and feeling like I might explode, I plopped my Lazy Bahookie into my Ultra Comfy Office Chair (oh YES!!! I am very thankful for that!!!) and finished this card.

This sweet image is Cabbage Rose, available at STAMPOTIQUE. In addition, the sentiment and blades of grass are also available there..........just follow the link in my sidebar!
