Paper Players masculine challenge.

On a personal note: It's been a very emotional and challenging week here in Oklahoma City and the metro area. Tornadoes ripping through our state on Sunday and Monday changed many lives and left in it's wake, piles of debris and much sadness.....BUT, Oklahomans are a very unique group of people; resilient and hopeful. If you think of those who have been affected by these tornadoes, please pray for them and for all of us as we serve and give in anyway we can to bring about healing and rebuilding.
God Bless,
barb

ReplyDeleteBarb, This card is lovely! I really like the combination of the ribbon with the textured background. The coverage of the tornado has been horrific. Wishing you and yours peace during the recovery. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week.
