Sketch #437~Pretty Pumpkins, Stampin Up, Holly Berry Happiness

Today is a day of great reflection.  The 20th

year anniversary of such a tragic terrorist attack 

to our beloved country.  Our fellow Americans.  

My heart breaks for that day, and what it 

represented.  The pure hate/evil that is in 

the world.  My heart breaks still for the loved 

ones lost and the lives affected by their loss. 

And Now 20 years later a person can reflect

on how their own personal lives have changed.

And how time marches on and doesn't wait 

for no one.  But for that brief moment the 

world stood still.  In complete horror and 

disbelief of what was happening.  

I remember exactly where I was when 

I heard the news.  My sister was watching 

my little girl, while I dropped my son

off at school.  When I came in the house, 

my sister was crying and said did you hear the news?

I just went into mom panic mode,

thinking it was my son.  When she finally told me 

what was happening, 

I  too was in shock, and yet so grateful that my son was 

ok.  then immediately back to disbelief and shock.  

we had the kids play in a different room, while we watched 

in horror what was happening. I remember just being 

numb all day, glued to the TV when I got 

home, praying for it to stop, and for safety.   

The collapse of the towers,

The people jumping.  The boats waiting 

to take people to safety.  The firemen 

and police officers running to help, 

the paramedics.  God bless those who gave all. 

I'm a heartbroken patriot not only about this

very tragic day, but that the country is in such 

turmoil, and there is such division among us. 

May we be united again, in honor of and 

in memory of all those of 9-11

Now for the card I made for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card:

Stampin Up:  Pretty Pumpkins. 

Stampin Up:  Holly Berry Happiness

I wasn't going to order this set, but my one 

dear customer ordered it, and I thought I better

do the same so I can make cards along with her. 

I'm glad I did.  It is quite "fancy"  It seems like

I always go for the cutesy stuff more so.  But look

at me being all grown up and such.  haha.  Well 

at 50 years old I better start growing up.  

I even made a fancy little white pumpkin there.  

My daughter was impressed.  So that makes it 

a win for me.
