Good Saturday morning! It’s been several days since I have been able to post to my blog. Our house was broken into this past week and not only were we robbed but the house was totally ransacked. I came home from work alone and I am so thankful the robbers were gone. It was a terrible mess and we feel so violated. Luckily my animals were not harmed, there was no damage to our home and we are safe. ADT is coming this morning to give us an estimate on a security system. You know the old saying …..”closing the gate after the horse got out”! LOL!
My project today is for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge. The inspiration site is Patina and I was inspired by a kiwi green dishrack. I have said it before but have to repeat how much I love red and green together. I pulled out Kiwi Kiss and Real Red cardstock to make my cornflowers and foliage. Check out my Punched Cornflower Tutorial for more information on how I made my flowers.
The Plant kindess, Gather Love sentiment is meaningful to me. I can't change what other people to do me but I can ontrol how I go about my daily life.
Have a great weekend and do something good for yourself. I like to think of it as "filling my cup"!

How awful for you and your family. It is such a violation. Hope you are on the road to recovery and clean up. It sounds like you have a positive attitude and that will help a lot.
I too am so sorry to hear about your robbery. It’s just not right. So glad you and your family an pets are okay. Lots of cyber hugs to you all.
Oh my what a horrible thing…..glad you are ok. We’re not even safe in our homes any more. Sorry you had to undergo this ordeal and hope things are looking up soon. Security is the answer.

Your cards are always so beautiful. You certainly are blessed with a wonderful gift. Be safe!
Ah Kittie sorry to hear your home has been vandalized and robbed. It really is a dreadful experience but it does put you on your toes for the rest of your life! And better late than never for some serious security. Peace be with you and yours at all times.
Thank you for sharing yet another wonderful card with us.

Oh goodness girl, so glad you are safe. Times are really bad and we all have to be deligent. Your card is beautiful and you have such a talent for making floral sprays. Just love your work. Prayers going up for you and yours.
Your card is FABULOUS, Kittie! So sorry to hear about your robbery..sounds like the story I read on Leslie Miller’s blog. She had the same thing happen. I’m sure you’ve been very busy with cleaning and straightening. So thankful everyone is safe.
Kittie – that is TERRIBLE news!! There really is nothing worse than thieves — especially in YOUR HOUSE!!
Your card today is another spectacular creation~ Girl – your hands must be in really good shape for all that punching! 🙂
Oh, Kittie… I can’t imagine how you are feeling after such a horrible experience! I do worry about things like that happening more than I used to. We live in such terrible times. I had been thinking about you and wondering where you were. I’m so glad that you, your husband and your pets are safe!
Your card is gorgeous!! I love bright red.
Kittie, so sorry about your robbery and ransacked house! I understand the feeling of being violated. So glad no one was injured and your pets are okay. You might want to check with more than one security company. Both friends and I had difficulties with ADT when we wanted to terminate our service with them.
Kittie I am horrified and so sorry – I am so thankful they were gone when you got home and you and your loved ones are safe. So sorry to hear of this terrible news – sending big hugs, Cindy
I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. Love the card.

Another fabulous card, love the green and red together as well. So sorry to hear of your troubles Kitty. Home invasion is an awful thing to experience.thankfully the low life had left before you came home. Sad that we live in times where we need home security but it is a must these days. My thoughts are with you and your husband.
Gosh what a terrible thing to come home to. I’m so glad no one was hurt and there was no property damage.
Your card Kittie is amazing as usual. Love your style.
