I woke up feeling great today, but still found myself running a bit late. Usually I leave home at 7:15am, but today I loaded my kids in my truck at 7:30am (not too bad!) When I turned the key, nothing but clicks. OMG! I accepted my situation, and explained to Mariah that she would not be going to school today. Bad idea, Mom! She started to cry.
I called my mother-in-law to see if she had any suggestions, and she told me she would be over to take my daughter to school. I was unsure how this was possible, since she did not drive to work. Well, she came not more than ten minutes later. Her friend/co-worker drove her to my house to pick up Mariah and drive her 3 miles to school. I am so lucky they work not even a mile from my home.
I was so very grateful that her co-worker was kind enough to do this for my family. Ü So, I made her this card.
Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Morning Cup Stamp Set, 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Scalloped Edge Punch

I normally don't design the inside of a card, but while I was stamping my name stamp on the back, the inside brushed the edge of my ink pad. I had to cover up the boo-boo! Ü
I planned to enclose a Starbucks Gift Card, so at the last minute, I made a gift card holder for the top half of the inside. I wish I had taken a picture of it, it was just perfect.
In case you were wondering, my truck is doing better. My father-in-law (aren't my in-laws wonderful?!) cleaned up my battery, got my truck started, and I only had minor start problems throughout the day. And now, as I blog, my husband is putting a brand new battery in! Ü Yay! Tomorrow, it should be running cherry!
Hope you enjoyed this card... it is absolutely perfect for coffee joint gift cards!
