Just saying hello!

Glad to say I am safely home although a bit stressed after such a long journey, which included missing a flight (not our fault) and chasing from one side of Paris to the next by taxi on the return journey. So I am trying to de-stress by crafting a little bit although I know it will take a while to get back to normal. Had a good time nontheless with beautiful weather in Myrtle Beach all week. After seeing a shark by the Pier I decided not to go swimming in the Sea and the pool was too cold! Pity.



I made this card for the Stampin' Sisters challenge here.
The theme is:
 "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving..."
1 Timothy 4:4 
I am very thankful that God provided us with good seats on the planes (some of them quite miraculous) as we have long legs, especially my DH for the 10 hour journey to Atlanta and the other thousands of blessings which we counted along the way!!

BTW, if you want to receive a wonderful blessing on this subject, like I did, please visit this link and read a beautiful testimony.

I made the bow according to this video tutorial from Amy Wanford.

Hope you ladies are all well and wishing you a nice Sunday!

Jacqueline

ps - I managed a trip to Michael's and got the stamp shown on the card with the butterflies, make: Hampton Arts.
