Saying thank you is so important in our busy lives.  Letting that person know what they did means so much.  So I was looking for a different way to say “thank you.”  This weekend I was working with the crates and included one in my Stamp of the Month.  I could have done strawberries the way I did in the Stamp of the Month, but I wanted something different.  So my mind wandered a little (what else is new) and I thought what could I do differently.  My pig stamp set was sitting on my desk.  Then I thought of the farm growing up.  As a city girl, the farm was a big thing. Every summer I made a trip to my Aunt and Uncle’s farm.  This was a happy place and a place to get dirty.  One of my favorite places was the pigs and the new babies.  The runts needed special attention which meant bottle feeding. I just loved working with them.  So I have turned the crate into a trough.  What do you think?  Okay, I dressed up the trough with the copper ribbon.

The inside of the card is different too.  I added a pig and the phrase from Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.  I was reminded of a Senior Living Place the other day. Not everyone is able to physically write a thank you comment.  This is why it is good to have some cards that have thank you verses.

There is a lot of information below this post.  So don’t miss it! Including information about this card is a Challenge card.
