little note...

who doesn't love a hedgie?  or a little note?  i recently discovered masking fluid. i'm pretty sure it's been around forever, but i just learned of it. talk about an awesome thing! makes things so much easier than making a paper mask or something.

i've been under the weather the past few weeks (and it's getting really tiresome...).  so i figured it's a good time to catch up on some cards that haven't been blogged about.  so sorry for the potential overload!

i love this stamp.  the girl just makes me smile.  we all have those moments where we just need to hang in there and be strong.  unfortunately.  but we get through them.  hopefully.

so i always have a hard time picking my one little word for the year.  last year, i was going through a rough patch and my #olw came to me in a flash.  i had no idea when i picked brave as my word for 2015 exactly how brave i was going to have to be during the year.  more than i have ever had to in my life.  maybe the words pick us.  for a reason?  this year, i'm facing the beginning of the year with an uphill battle.  so my word came to me pretty easily again this year...  i just hope i can live up to it.
