Design Team Thursday!

GOOD MORNING !! I am thrilled that tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!  It's been one of those weeks & I am soooo ready for the weekend! 

Since Sunday, marks the 10 year anniversary of 9/11,  I thought it would be only fitting to create special cards in memory of that sad day.  I can't believe it has been 10 years already & I still remember EXACTLY what I was doing when this happened! I was 8 months pregnant w/Anthony & my Mother & I were watching tv in her kitchen! Then they showed it on the news & I was in SHOCK! I couldn't believe this was happening to us:( It was a very sad day that sooo many innocent lives were taken so suddenly. There were so many heros that day including all the firemen who played a HUGE part!  I am SO VERY THANKFUL for all the men & women who risk their lives everyday to keep our Country safe!

Here is my card in honor of this day... 

Here are my AWESOME design team's cards!
