Thanks Ever So Much


Happy Wednesday friends.  I love the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch.  I had the thanks die sitting on my desk and used that in contrast with a black strip of paper for the card.  The floral stamps are from Verve.  My mum asked me to make a few thank yous for her so this along with most of my cards I am posting this week will be a set for her use. 
 I also thought I'd share a few pictures of what Pat has been up to over the last couple of weeks.  His sister turns 50 in a couple of weeks and her made these chairs for her.  They turned out beautifully. He planned on taking them up to Chicago this past weekend, but our mini van decided it wasn't going to make the trip. Fortunately the engine light came on when Pat was less than 10 minutes away on his way to pick up his brothers for the trip to Chicago.  We'll have to figure out another way to get them there soon!
