Thinking of You

This was a very simple-to-make card using the Florentine papers (so beautiful!) from Close-to-My-Heart.  I love the rich colors and designs!  The seam binding was from my stash, the rose stamp is from the CTMH Card Word Puzzle. I keep coming back to that set - it is so sweet and useful that I just ordered a second set to take up to the Minnesota studio!  I water-colored it by picking up ink directly from the ink pad with the tip of a water brush.

It's Thursday night (already!) and it's been a busy week!  The packing is coming along nicely.  My wall-removal project starts next week (yikes!).  

Did I mention that my darling daughter is finally engaged to "her beloved"?  I put that in quotes because at my wedding in December she wanted him introduced that way rather than "her boyfriend" and the status of "her fiancee" wasn't quite true yet!  He made the proposal a dream-come-true for her - asking her on her birthday and on bended knee . . . how sweet.  I think the world of this young man and am delighted that he loves my precious daughter.  He will make a good son in law!  Once again, I am blessed!
