Celebrate!




What are you all celebrating today?! It is our independence we are celebrating in the USA today and I am so thankful for it. I feel so blessed to live where I do and have the opportunities that I have. In honor of this day, I made these cards using EVERYTHING from the Kreatorville Kraft Kit. The "celebrate" and the cute fireworks were handmade by the Kreatorville founder the ohhhhhhh so talented Keandra Willis.
I had the opportunity to sing our National Anthem today and was so stirred by the words. The star spangled banner representing the stuggle for freedom that the founding fathers of our country gave. I can only imagine the thoughts of the song's writer when he penned the lines that he could still see that banner of freedom waving in the dawn's early light and asking the question to future generations "oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Yes, Mr. Francis Scott Key it does and how very thankful I am for that. I hope you are celebrating the land you live in and love today.
Hugs,
Cheryl
