Warm Thoughts...MUSE #29

I'm baaack!  Yet another fabulous day: an outing with my folks, followed by an outing to Fort Edmonton with my niece and nephew, and my brother and sister-in-law.  I'm feeling really, really blessed spending this precious time with people I love, love and love!  The only thing that would make it better is if my husband were here.  Then again, it's because he's not here, that I have this opportunity, so..hmmmmm.  Oh well, I miss him plenty, and that's what matters!!

I haven't joined in MUSE challenges for a while, but Challenge #29, with the beautiful rose-adorned card created by the incredibly talented Laurie Wilson, caught my eye.


I puzzled, hemmed, hawed and all-around wasn't sure what direction to take...until today.  Somewhere in my recent shopping ventures, I bought a pad of Bo Bunny's Family Is Collection.  Yes, "Family Is"...everything!

Here's my take, inspired by Laurie, and conveying exactly my thoughts of late: warm and wonderful.  Oh yes, I'm missing my husband plenty, too!!


Simple...

Thanks for dropping by; please let me know you did! Your comments add sparkle to my day!

    Simple...and SO SWEET! The card, and the motivation for making it! YES, family is everything! I love that you used the "together" so beautifully with the sentiment It just says and means SO much! Your day sounds like it was reflective of the card - warm and wonderful, together with your oh so special family! I know Mr. C. would have loved to have shared they joy of day with you...won't be long now until he'll be back though!!!
