PEACE

Howdy Crafters - I hope your day is going well for you... here is my Peace card - think of how peaceful it would be riding in a hot air balloon on a nice clear, sunny day. Of course, you would not find me up there in that hot air balloon, but my MIL, Harriette,  had riding in a hot air balloon on her bucket list and my husband Richard and his siblings took mom up for this adventure for her 90th Birthday- she so loved it. Mom died at the age of 95. Have a blessed week - Gail

Recipe

    Hi Gail! Beautiful card and a great memory of your MIL too. You wouldn't find me up in one either! Great colors too. Thanks so much for joining my challenge this week :)

    The sentiment compliments the Hot Air Balloon wonderfully. Enjoy watching & photographing Hot Air Balloons. Not ever been up in one but would like to. A co-worker of hubby's said they went up in one and there were 8 people in the balloon basket which in my opinion is crowded. Have a Bee-utiful day!

    Riding in a hot air balloon is something that I have on my wish list. Whether I will actually ever manage it ... well we will have to wait and see! Thank you for sharing your lovely card with us at Eureka Stamps.
