Happy Retirement, Barbara Anders!

Hi all!  I am popping in real quick to share a card I made to help celebrate my friend, Barbara Anders, retiring!  After MANY years working (20 at her current job), it's time for her to kick up her feet and lounge around all day.  LOL  (I'm joking, Barbara, I know you have BIG plans)


Barbara, you are super sweet, caring, and just an all-around wonderful person.  I'm so happy you are retiring and can enjoy more stamping, more gardening, more cleaning, more laundry... LOL.  My only regret is that you don't live closer.  I could surely help you occupy some time with chick flicks, stamping, and maybe you could help me with my laundry (you SAID you like doing laundry).  LOL


OK, I'm going to end my LOL fest and show you my LOL card.  I searched high and low for this stamp in my sentiments drawers and was SO excited to find it!  It hasn't been inked up before.  It must've been just for YOU.  



I used the soon-to-be-released Layered Hearts Die-namics die from MFT on this card, and threaded it with hemp.




Special thanks to Tammy Hershberger for inviting me to help celebrate Barbara's retirement.  To see who else is joining in the fun, please visit Tammy's blog for a complete list of participating friends.  :) 




See you soon!  :)  XOXO
