Do Not Conform!

Hope you are all doing well! I just returned from 5 days in the Portland, Oregon area and can say I am a bit tired and had a great time! So that is why I have been MIA and will be getting around to visit all of you! I had my mobile phone, but just no time to see what you all have been up to!
This tag is being shared today over at Artistic Outpost and all the details and extra photos can be found there. Sorry, but I just had to hurry up with these posts!

Will be linking this up to Frilly and Funkie's "Anything Goes" and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Emboss." Can't get easier than that!

September 11th will always be a day to be thankful for the people in our lives and to never take anyone for granted. My heart goes out to anyone who lost a loved one on 9/11 and also to those who have lost someone to a sudden and tragic event. Loss is such a difficult part of life, but sudden loss just adds to that grief! Always remember those little words and use them freely! Hugs to all and thank you for taking time to visit!
