Enjoy the Moment

Enjoy each moment! This is the lesson I have learned this year.  Life is difficult and tough but there are beautiful moments scattered around us each day that we need to take hold of and cherish for all that they are worth.  I spent this past weekend at the hospital while my husband underwent chemo treatment.  I watched his composure as the doctors injected him with harsh chemical poisons that would have side lined the best of us.  He never lost his happy disposition. I watched him joke around with the nurses and the doctors.  He bravely went through his treatment without complaining or feeling sorry for himself.  He is an inspiration to me and reminds me to enjoy life no matter what the circumstances may be.
Here are a few cards that I have to share with all of you......
Pattern Paper is "Echo Park", Stamps and buttons are from "Paper Trey Ink" the little dove chipboard is from "Tattered Angels", glitter is "Melissa Frances"

 I used pattern paper from "Girl's Paperie" Stamps from "Crafty Secrets. Chipboard frame from "Tattered Angels" and "Prima" flower.
Thanks for dropping by today. I wish you all happiness and love :)

  4. Elizabeth, thank you so much for your story and reminding us to enjoy every moment. I have to say I love the name of your blog, I call my daughter Lizabits, a pet name for her :). I love your cards, love the music paper and the stripes and those cute little kids at Halloween love them. Great job!

  6. I can't put my finger on what it is about your work that appeals to me so much. I love it - there's the vintage feel and the slight shabbiness that goes with that... you have larger than life stuff going on there too. Maybe it's all of it, or just the way you put it together... but it's amazing!
