so BLESSED!!!

Hi all!
I hope you had a fabulous and relaxing weekend!!!
What a wonderful weekend I had!! My to-do list really got ignored, but that is ok!!!

Saturday Mike and I took the kids out for brunch (I cannot remember the last time my hubby was home on a Saturday~he usually cleans the church and works on the power point for our Sunday services). The women's ministry volunteered to clean the church and give him a Saturday off (what a blessing!!). The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a very late breakfast on the patio of Mimi's Cafe (Nate had to work *sad face here*). Of course I had my phone with me, and YES!! I snapped pic's, LOL!!!

Sunday our church surprised Mike and I with a wonderful gift!! A retreat and lots of other goodies...we are still on Cloud 9!! Feeling so blessed by our loving church family!! They ROCK!!

I had a few moments to play in my craft room/studio last night~and since I was feeling so blessed~I made a "blessing" card.

Have a Spectacular Monday!!

    Cute, love that big gorgeous bow! I also love the excitement and fun you inspire by changing up the text. I am so boring in my "posting of the facts". What fun to see - and congrats on the surprise gift! Great to be blessed.

    Hi Gretchen! I just found your blog today via a gal on the Papertrey forum. I just love your style! I'm a digiscrapper, amatuer photographer, and cardmaker too and can relate to everything on your blog. Church plays a big part in my life too. :) I just love this card - so warm and cheery! Have a great day!
