Special thank you

Hi everyone:
I have a friend who is leaving my work place on Friday to fulfill her dream job and I am going to totally miss her, but am so happy for her.  She has been so helpful and patient with me over the years and wanted to give her a special thank you card to show her how much I appreciate her and that she will always be my friend.

I have been having a lot of fun with water coloring and just had to do it with this card.  I used peerless watercolors on this one.
I took an extra step, which is something I have been trying to do more of lately, and decorated the envelope.  I stamped a special sentiment on the flap and adhered a die cut heart as the closure.
I am in the process of catching up with everyone's blog and hope to be done next year :) ha-ha - even though I must admit, I have a lot of posts to look through, but am looking forward to it.

I hope you enjoy this card and can't wait to see you again soon.

Janet

Thank you

Hi everyone:

Boy, it's been a while since I've been here on my blog and am sorry for being away so long.  It has been a crazy few months and have to come the decision that I'm going to step away from a few things to get back to blogging, visiting friends and create again. Facebook and Pinterest have just, well to me anyway, taken way too much of my time and I want to start getting in touch with my friends again and focus my priorities here.  

I have been creating some while away and hope to post some of my creations over the next few weeks as well as a wonderful vacation I had with my kids (we went to Universal Studios in Florida the first part of October and we had SO much fun, words just can't start describing how great it was) and I got to spend some time with Harry Potter and the gang (well, not the actors, but was in Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade), which was just so AWESOME (me and the kids are HUGE Harry Potter fans).
 This was a card I made for a friend a while back (the background was created by using shaving cream and re-inkers - it was so much fun to do), but wanted to say Thank you so much for sticking with me and am glad you are still here.  I have been thinking of you all and do thank God daily for each and every one of you.
I will be back soon to show you something new :)

Have a great day

Janet
