You can't have a Rainbow without any rain..

Hi there all my crafty friends, I know it's been a while since I posted anything.. It you all didn't know I live in Moore, Oklahoma where the big tornado torn through our town.. So, thing have been very crazy around here.. I do have to say that I am so very bless to still have a home and my family are safe.. Yet, sadly a lot of my neighbors weren't as fortunate.. Every day when I drive out of my neighborhood it's a gut wrenching, heartbreaking constant reminder of how close I was to losing everything. I have really been trying to regain some normalcy amongst all the devastation that surrounds us and it is a daily struggle.. Yet, I know that our town will be back and better than ever.. All I can do is try my best everyday to carry on and be thankful for amazing people and everything I do have in my life..

Okay, now let me get to some fun stuff.. I created this card using the sketch at the Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge Blog ... I really love how this card turned out and I thought the up lifting sentiment was a prefect fit..
