Tiny Chick




Ok...I have a confession....I am a paper hoarder!
When I looked at the back of the plaid ppr I used on this card, I am embarrassed to say this is what I saw "doodlebug design inc. 2001 Cynthea Sandoval"
Wow...I have had this paper 8 yrs!
I started reminiscing back to when I started this paper collection , it was when I worked in a scrapbook store that was owned by Sharon Capshaw-"Scrapbooks from the Heart" She hired me shortly after she opened the store & I was her first employee. We were instant friends, and she never liked for me to refer to her as my boss. I worked there about 2 years and we became so very close. It was hard leaving that job, but an offer of significant more money (and responsibility) came my way, and Sharon understood. We remained friends, and she was always & I mean always there for me, even through my divorce. Wow, sitting here sharing this I have tears streaming down my face... see Sharon went home to be with the Lord. It has been well over a year ago...maybe closer to two. I have lost track of time exactly how long it has been. But I still miss her! She would have absolutely LOVED this card too.
When I stared this post, I never intended on it going in this direction, so please forgive me.
But please remember that life is unpredictable, every day is a gift, tomorrow is not promised, so tell your friends & family how much they mean TODAY!
I am going to be out of town for about a week. I will be helping my sister with her daughters wedding in Oklahoma. I won't be able to post untill I return. I appreciate your comments so much. I am thinking of a blog candy offer that I will post after I get back from this trip.
