Fluttery Thanks


This week at Flutterby Wednesday we are celebrating the theme of Gratitude and Thankfulness, along with your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.

I am very thankful that our power was restored Tuesday night.  How nice to have lights and heat and running water again.  And I'll be thankful today when I catch up on my "Cinderella Chores" as Danni likes to call them.  Never thought washing dishes, doing loads of laundry and vacuuming could bring a smile to my face.  I wish I was good at whistling - guess I'll have to hum through my work instead.  {grin}

I'm not very good at creating cards in the cold by flashlight, so I have one of my favorite "oldie but goodie" cards to show you.  Penelope was one of the very first fairy stamps I ever bought.  I love her name and oriental charm.  This is a pocket card with the "thank you" panel tucked inside. 

Thanks for fluttering by today!  Be sure to take a peek at all the Thankful Creations by the rest of the Flutterby Team - links can be found on my sidebar or at the FBW Blog!

Oh Michelle, she is just beautiful! I love how you've coloured her with the glitter and the brads perfect!

What a beautiful image! Love the brads on the ends, and how her wings are so thin and mirror her dress.

Oooh, very pretty! Love the glittery wings!

Michelle said...

I'm thankful you got your power back on as well! Your angel is so pretty - her sparkling wings are awesome!
