This week's challenge at the
Less Is More challenge is "pink" which seemed perfect for a card for a very sick friend.
I've known this lady for 48 years(!) and in all of those years, I would have to say that she is the most deeply happy person that I know - even through trials that most of us could not imagine. She is currently in hospice, yet still full of joy. Just talking with her reminds me that I often need to look deeper than I do for the joys in my own life. So I dug back through my stamp stash - at least a decade back - and found the perfect stamp...
The pink button is another happy find. I saw this card and fell in love with the button treatment (you can be sure that I will be blatantly copying Danielle's total button/twine treatment on a future holiday card!). The wonderful red chevron button comes from this Etsy shop. It's such a fun place to browse and buy!! Among others, I got a package of six sunburst buttons - one of which is pink and the perfect happy accent to this card!
Marching band update - my son's high school marching band made it through state quarterfinals yesterday. This afternoon is semifinals - you need to get through semis in the top 8 to make it to finals. His band is currently 10th in the state - so it is possible, but not likely, that they will make finals. Keep your fingers crossed at 1:15 mountain time today! Here he is during his six-note solo in full uniform. (He's the one that seems to be facing the wrong way!)
They are marching in the stadium at the Air Force Academy which is a gorgeous place. However, I was wishing that the Air Force would stop the planes overhead so I could hear the bands!!!??? - Stamps: A Country Welcome
