Sweet Wishes


What would your one sweet wish be?
If you are little boy would be a roly poly puppy that follows you anywhere and everywhere? If you were a sassy teenager would it be a permanently padlocked room from the inside? Would a brand new shiny car parked in your newly built house be a sweet wish as an adult? Or if you were an elder person would your sweet wish be to hold a brand new baby in your arms and coo at him until your heart's content?

    Another beautiful card Karen. My one wish would sure be a new house and a new sports car in the driveway would be nice too (I do miss my mustang). :-)

    My sweet wish is to be able to eat my DH's homemade vanilla icecream without having to worry about calories. IN other words, I wish I'm 33 again. LOL.
    Love your sweet card! :)

    Sweet heart! It is so cool. I love the soft color palette--it's dreamy :) And I have to tell you, how you did the grid with the impression plate is genius...I never would have thought of stamping between it. You just continue to blow me away!

    What a darling card - your designs always impress me but I admit, I love how you present them (the stories) as well. Awesome!

    I wish for world peace. That's been my #1 wish all my life - and I see no reason to change it now.

    Hugs!
