My husband is the BEST!!!

I am so excited, for those of you who don't know John got a new truck on Monday! It's a great big ole Chevy and it really is pretty nice. Anywho my husband decided if he got a new truck I should get something too so he bought me a diamond wrap it is just beautiful. The Lord has definately blessed our family and blessed me with the best husband anyone could ever ask for! So tonight be thankful for your spouse if you have one, because remember not everyone does!

My cousin Michelle who lives in Colorado has the nicname Ranga Roo, anyways I have not talked to her in a really long time so I thought I would make her this card.

This is a beginers class and we will be doing very minimal stamping and embellishing!
