So what a cute challenge huh? What is black and white and READ all over? Hah, so punny! Well, since I have two small children, the only books that comes to mind are children books. My first inclination were titles like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Click Clack Moo, Pat the Bunny - these are all favorites in my house! But, one of my favorites books to read is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Such a wonderful, heartfelt, and meaningful book. I think Shel Silverstein delivers a powerful message that I think is important for children to learn and understand.

So, I was literally inspired and created this card...

    Girl, this is BEYOND amazing! I am in love with the trees and the pop of red from the birds. I am SO casing this baby!! I'm sorry I haven't been by lately. Super busy here, with my daughter and her family moving in, my fun visitors from AZ, and just trying to get stuff done before we leave for AZ in October. Know that I'm always drooling over your amazing projects, even if I run out of time to comment. Oh, and I got the sweetest card from you in the mail today . . . seriously, it made me cry. Thank you so much - can't imagine my crafting life without you either, my sweet friend. Hope you're having a blast in Aruba!!
