Well, Summer is officially over. Homeschooling starts this coming week at our house after Labor Day; and ready or not....Andrew and I are about to embark on another year of learning. I am so grateful that God has blessed me with such well-behaved children who have a heart for the Lord and have chosen to be obedient. You do the best you can, you pray for them, and you trust God with it all. But there comes a point when your children have to decide for themselves whether or not they want to be obedient and choose to live their lives in the will of God. I praise God for children who have a heart for the things of the Lord. I'm a very blessed mom. I wish you all a great school year, whether you homeschool or not. Our children are precious gifts from God, and they need our love, prayers and support.
My card was made from a Small Lunch Bag Kraft Note Card, and to that I added a piece of wood looking patterned paper that I machine stitched. I added half of a vintage cream doily, some October Afternoon elements (school room and scissors), some buttons, jute and Baker's Twine. I also added a Making Memories chalkboard tag that I inked with white chalky ink.

Creative Card Crew Challenge Blog - Challenge #69 - Chalkboard - Even though I am the Guest Designer for this challenge, I couldn't resist playing along. I used a tiny chalkboard tag that says "home work" and it's inked in white chalky ink and is hanging from a button with a miniature safety pin. There's also a chalkboard in the image I used!
Thanks for visiting my blog, and I look forward to visiting yours soon. Leave me a comment, and I will swing by to leave you some love as well.
Blessings,
Karen
