The Kindness of Others

The majority of my cards do not have a recipient already picked before they are finished so this card is extra special.  One day as I was frantically trying to locate my son in the boot room, his teacher reassured me that my son could never slip out undetected.  Not only does she watch out for him, but also the other teacher whose class shares the same boot room watches for him too - that she has "adopted" him as one of hers given his tardy nature of dressing and undressing.  Sadly, I don't know this teacher's name, but this card is for her.  Her kindness provides relief to my hectic day and reminds me that others do care.


This lovely angel happens to teach the grade one Logos program at my son's school which encouraged me to use my new Close to My Heart Christmas sentiment set both on the outside and inside of the card.



This card will be accompanied by Candy Cane Brownie mix and a thank you note. 

Mercy Kerin created the amazing sketch for Flutter By Wednesday which was used for the front of this card.  Tilda will be entered in three challenges - Flutter By Wednesday, Pink Elephant, and Simon Says Challenge.

Thank you for looking!
