A Grateful Heart!


Danielle made a beautiful card and MIM for this week!


My corner cluster of flowers are a little heavier than I would have liked. I stamped on watercolor paper and used my watercolor pen to blend many of the stamped images.


I wanted to show you there is two cards, I thought maybe the first one I made was a bit dark so I made the second one a little lighter. Not sure why I always seem to add a bit of glitter, I guess it makes me happy to see it sparkle.




Hello and thank you for all your sweet comments and prayers again! You are the BEST!!!

We received an early morning phone call, it was Phil and he sounded good as new. He is very grateful and feels so unworthy of all the love and prayers and the fact that he survived ! He breaks down in grateful tears often. He is going home today!!!! We still can’t believe it and the doctors are shocked as well. 

I am truly sorry for those of you that this may be hard, because you prayed and did not get your miracle. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as well.

  20. I love your cards, and especially love the sentiment... I have a truly grateful heart, Marybeth and feel blessed just knowing that my prayers are heard, if not always answered.... does that make sense? ...
