Well, my posts have been a little short recently and that's because I have been spending a lot of time in Monterey supporting my mom and visiting my grandfather who is dying of cancer. He is the BEST patient and always so upbeat and so brave. He says he is feeling fine every day no matter how much pain he is in. He has been an incredible example to all of us in the family and we are so proud of him. I am thankful for every moment we get to spend with him. 

I made this for the physical therapist who is helping him to walk. We had a not so great one before her and this one is just SO fabulous with him and really understand him. They brighten each other's days and he makes splendid progress with her. I just wanted to let her know how much we appreciate her.

This month's theme for the blog hop is My Mind's Eye!! The girls were to use ANY My Mind's Eye products in their projects as they are one of the chief lines that Shop Pumpkin Spice carries AND this month's kit that Carissa designed is made with My Mind's Eye! 

I think I should have used black ink because you can barely read the sentiment on the bottom! I promise it's clearer in real life. :)
