So very pretty! I love the glow and it must have been stunning with the yellow. Beautiful card and a very happy birthday to your Sister.
And thank you for the comment about the log / bark thing that I took the picture of - It was in the snow: a little piece of a tree or something that was completely round - with that bright green moss. It looked to me like a little fairy should live in there . . . Kristin xo

"your blog post photos made me smile".... it was the nices comment ever and just what I needed to hear. As a blogger you know how it is.. blogging takes a lot of time .. and sometimes you can wonder if it's worth it. lol
If a photo makes one person smile... cool! Then it's worth it!
Have a great day!

Have a good night (or is it day there now?)
