Love You
Each year as I sit here & write a blogpost about the newest Anniversary design, I usually spot a theme to our year…travels, family, big events – it makes the post very easy to write.
This year…is different.
I’m not going to list the things that made the past year difficult…each & every one of us has such a list. I’m fairly sure that we have all experienced highs, lows, joy & heartbreak.
Early on in the year, Bill & I made an agreement to ‘be exceedingly kind’ to each other. That sounds kind of strange for 2 people married for so long, but when the stresses of the day mount, it helps to know that I have a shelter & that I can be a shelter.
I chose simple words & design for this token – easy to change to your favorite palette.

Please be sure to #handsondesign when you post your pictures (I’m nosy & I like to see them!)
Thanks once again to my friends at Just Another Button Company & Lady Dot Creates for providing the finishing touches…they were also vital lifelines this past year – everyone needs friends like them.
As we move further into the New Year, I hope that we can all be ‘exceedingly kind’ to one another.
Enjoy the stitch,
Cathy, Hands On Design
