I used the set My Favorite valentine from h and M Stamps, of which there are very few left. http://www.handmstamps.com/index.php
I also used the set Alot of Thanks for the sentiment as I wanted to make a thank you card for someone who has been helping me so much through these hard times I am facing, with both my dear Mother's illness as well as becoming unemployed after 28 years! I KNOW that there will be new opportunities for me and this is a littlle bit exciting as it is a time for reinvention! However there are dark moments when I lean on my friends, and I am so grateful for them.
thanks for listening to the ramble and I hope you like my card!

Love those squares on your background and that sweet owl.
So sorry to hear that you have lost your job. I've always worked because I like a bit of my own money, not out of need, but DH has been out of work three times, and it's not something I would wish on anyone. No matter how positive you are, of course there are times you need people to lean on, so I am glad you have good friends there for you.

I love the bright color combo and touches of gold! So pretty!
Saying prayers for you...that you'll be at peace in this interim and that you will find the perfect job! So often things seem so bleak, and then they end up better than before....if we can just hang on to the promise that God has a plan!
