WOW, beautiful cards... all of them! Love the tree with buttons, what a great idea!!!

ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love the House Mouse or is that House Mice. Anyway thanks for the blog candy. Love your cards.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI am Country Wings and am so in love with these cards of love that you have made. OMG I love the little mice. Mice are my favs. They just have so much excitement around them. I am crossing my fingers on this one. Now that Americana tree is just the most precious thing EVER. I love it. What an awesome job you have done. I hope you can hear me clapping for you sweetie, because these are all so awesome.
I have never made a card but this blog hop has so inspired me. I have been confined to the house with my lungs for a month now, and have an additional 2 more weeks as of yesterday. I have been looking for something I could do from my recliner, and still feel like I am accomplishing something. What an awesome thing to do for our soldiers. I am certainly going to look about the house and see what I can find to make a few cards. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you also for the opportunity to win a House Mouse stamp. What a wonderful gift of love. Any one of us would be so lucky. Many thanks.
Please stop by and say hi. I love meeting new friends and love the comments too. Country hugs sweetie..>Sherry
