{{{{ETA: I am SO sorry that my MTSC post is late-I'm not sure what happened but Blogger is being naughty!!! Oh, and I didn't get to see the Eclipse because it was so cloudy here-I set my alarm for 12:45am, 1:30, and 3:30 am and got up, went outside, scared the pants off of DH and still no luck, LOL...}}}
I am anxiously awaiting the viewing of tonight's Lunar Eclipse and thinking back on 2010 with a good feeling and it really made me think of this quote from Ippity: "The little things? THEY AREN'T LITTLE".
That is SO true. If I had a nickel, even a penny, for every little glance exchanged with one of my kids, every laugh with a friend, every smile with a stranger, I'd be a very rich girl. But see, that's just it, I FEEL rich...I feel truly blessed. So, as this year comes to a close, I invite you to look back on your 2010 and cherish all those "big things" that might not seem so big at the time. I love that we can do that.
As 2010 comes to a close, we are also saying goodbye to the MTSC Challenges, next week being our final sketch. Above is this week's sketch, MTSC105. I want to thank Mercy, for having me on this super fun team, but mostly for her friendship and the fact that I found two of my best friends, Mercy and Pam, through stamping. I love you guys-and although stamping may have brought us together, we are so much more than that now. So as our sketches come to a close, I won't be sad...as we all will have a little more time on our hands but a lot of those 'little things' that we know are BIG THINGS to cherish and also to look forward to continuing.
In that spirit, here's my card using IPPITY stamps:
I do have some BRAND NEW IPPITY for sale-check out my current inventory and specials HERE :)
Until later my friends,

Fabulous card!! Wonderful sentiment to reflect on!
What a wonderful post, Jess! Yesterday was my daughter's birthday and today is my husbands - they both wanted to take a drive in the middle of the night last night to get away from the lights of the town to see the Eclipse. I was exhausted from DD's b-day party and freezing cold here in Alaska and the last thing I wanted to do was take a drive at midnight - but we got to a spot where we could see the eclipse and they were both so full of joy and wonder, and it made me so glad I did.....kind of like your post and the reminder about the little things! Thanks! :-)Traci
