I'm a glass half full kinda gal, and so no matter how bad things get I always remind myself it could be worse. And that is reason enough to be thankful.
For example, we were hit by a nasty case of food poisoning over the weekend. And I still don't feel 100% ok but I am thankful that the culprit was sushi. It could have been worse... it could have been chocolate! So yeah! As I unwrap another Ferrero Roche, I am filled with gratitude. :-)
Here's a card I made with one person in mind. Someone I am blessed to have in my life. Someone I am eternally grateful to call my sister.
 |
| The background paper is from First Edition's New Leaf 8x8 pad. The digi image and sentiments are by Sweet and Sassy called "One of a Kind" |
 |
| Here's a close up of the image. I coloured it with Graph It and Promarkers. (Is it me or does that birdy in the middle look stunned?) |
 |
| A little peek on the inside...plenty of room for me to get mushy, which is so NOT my sister's style! Hahaha! |
