It is often the Bend...

It is often the bends in the road that teach us how to live our lives. Funny how a car stamp and saying make me look at life. October is here and gone and now we are into November. How time slips away sometimes. I say goodbye to October with a cold that is still hanging on and memories that I wish that I did not have from this month. But I have learned that God does not protect us from what will perfect us. Certainly when I made this card, I did not think it would be a life lesson, but sometimes the simplest things come from the things and people we love.

Onto the card: I used some burlap like ribbon, Tim Holtz patterned paper, and Authentic Man stamp set from Ippity.
