Hello Friends! Quite the weekend for the East Coast, huh? Hope everyone came through with little or no damage or injury! I want to share a card with you today that was made for my nephew. He is a wonderful guy who I dearly love! He has been in the theater many years wearing many "hats"; actor, writer, singer, dancer, you name it! To hear him talk in his soothing Southern drawl warms any heart!

The Flower T was cut with the Songbird cartridge. The
