Heart to Heart

Hello Everyone!
Sorry this post is getting out so late. I had a horrible night last night and forgot to post this on time. Yesterday my kids were playing around on the bed and my 5 yr. old feel off. She was knocked out for several seconds which felt like eternity to me.. She was able to get up after she awoke and we then sat at the local er for several hours making sure she was ok. The Dr. cleared her with good health and sent us home:) It is so scary thinking in just a split second something so terrifying can happen. I am blessed that she is ok and will forever thank god for hearing my prayers. Here is the card I had made and kinda goes with the circumstance. My children are my heart! Thanks for stopping by Happy Crafting,Nikki

Happy hump day to all! Well it's been a busy morning today. We got up did our normal morning activities before school then dropped the girls just as the bell was ringing. Then dad, mom and Tyler went out to west coast plaza to get daddy some new clothes. After that we rushed back home so daddy could get to work on time. Now it's noon and I have just a little time to get this post out before I head back to school and get girls from early dismissal. Boy has this day flown by. So here is my card for today hope you enjoy, Happy crafting,Nikki
