For today's HYCCT challenge we were to use words that inspire. I chose this quote about following your dreams.
Linda (Holstein) wanted us to use the first letter of our id in some way on our card. My id is from my love of Peeps candy..and the numbers in my id have no special meaning..I just wanted to add some numbers for the heck of it. My card uses "pink", "paper piercing", and "plant". The quote reminds me of my dad and how he started a garden when he was retired...I know he wanted to before that but just didn't have the time. I helped him plant several large vegetable and flower gardens. And even when he wasn't able to take care for those any longer he would still love to do a "walk around" with me and point out the perennials that were in bloom. I do the same today when friends or family come to visit me...I show them all my flowers that are in bloom. It always makes me think of my dad.

Polly this is beautiful! I love the dp you used and how you cut it out. Loved reading your story about your dad! Gardening certainly is a way we plant seeds and dream of the return... and in many ways represents how we use all of our time here on earth! TFS!

Polly, I like what Vicki said about your card...it tells a beautiful story. You have a way of doing that with your great cards. Thanks for sharing your username story....I too love peeps. It's hard to eat just one...need to eat atleast two rows. Thanks for playing along in the challenge, and I'll be thinking of you the next package of peeps I eat.
