  5. This card is going to my sweet friend Jocelyne. We live many miles away now but we shared countless cups of tea at her kitchen table and chatted. I miss her a great deal.

  8. Beautiful, fun cards by the DT this week! My card (#8) is actually a thank you card to the director of youth and family ministries at my church. She recently organized a huge community resources fair at our church that was wonderful! She is also a good friend of mine, and her coffee addiction is legendary! When I saw this digi and the funny sentiment (you'll have to hop over to my blog to see what the pull-out tag says!), I just knew I had to use them on a card for her. I gave it to her this morning at church, and she loved it!
