Art Creations Friday

I have to say a big "THANK YOU" to the ladies at Art Creations Friday who provide some fabulous images for us to use.
The image they posted today was the perfect inspiration for a retirement card I needed to make for a friend who is a little concerned about what she will do with all her time once she is retired. It's a little tongue in cheek, but I know she'll get a kick out of it.
The sentiment says, "Wake up every morning with the belief that something wonderful is going to happen."

Oh My! That little old lady gave me recollections of my great Grandma, only she seemed much happier. LOVE the saying for a retirement card. Very Well Done, Louise!
