Ohhh. This is nice. The backgrounds, the borders that add extra richness. You're having too much fun, Karen. Is that even possible? I'm off to read Sandra's post. House to Home is my kind of reading, I'm sure. Have a great day!

Dearest Karen,

These are lovely as ever. You really know how to manipulate these tools and I signed up for what I thought were freebies with KK, but I still haven't figured out how to access them through the plethora of emails sent to me, so I have given up. BUT this is wonderful and I will always admire your art as one of my favorites and all-time inspiring places to come...much love, Anita

Oh dearest,

I am so thankful that GOD breathed into your daughter's heart the wisdom to give you kind words. These symbols that created meaning, are a gift from above. We are creatures destined to be shaped by THE WORDS and MEANINGS behind them, and to ultimately be IDENTIFIED as HIS CHILDREN THROUGH the promises of HIS WORD. What a mystery but what a wonderful revelation at the same time. THANK GOD for your daughter.....dearest, you are special. One day, we shall see HIM and our lives are they truly are.

LOVE, Anita
