This Little Card of Mine

McRaes on Dr. Phil...

Happy Thanksgiving

I am sad that I am unable to travel to be with my family in PA this Thanksgiving.  But I am SO grateful for too many blessings to count.   And I am especially thankful for Jennifer's family for including me in their Thanksgiving celebration.   Love you guys.  I hope you all have a wonderful Turkey Day!

I love Stamp Your Art Out...

And the wonderful ladies that work there.   They sent me this beautiful card. Made me smile.  If you haven't been to Stamp Your Art Out in Blue Ash, OH you are missing out!   Thank you all!

Bright and cheery...

and it had that effect on my day.  Another lovely card from Sandi N.  Thank you Sandi!
