Changito says, "Happy Birthday!"

I seem to feel anxiety on a nearly daily basis, lately. I think it's my grandmother-in-laws illness and daily suffering. It's hard to watch someone you love so much suffer so terribly. Over the past four years or so, I've found several way to lesson my anxious thoughts. I love to read The Bible, pray, write in my prayer journal, write poetry, clean the house, exercise, and, of course, papercraft. There is something about working with the paper and the tools that just calms my spirit. It's like active therapy. This card was born out of one of those therapy sessions. I used a Changito monkey stamp and the sentiment is a rub on. I love rub ons. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I know my cards aren't very good when compared to the other Busy Bee Bloggers, but I'm grateful for any positive comments or constructive criticism. :)
