Hello, all my fellow crafty friends! Independence Day! How can this day not be inspiring?! I want to share my holiday make for the Creative Embellishments Blog. Today is the day where we can sit back, look out the window, look to the sky, look at your neighbor, and appreciate your life. It's easy to get lost in the everyday motions of life and forget who we have to thank for our lives. Some people may find their live uneventful or boring, but don't take it for granted. There are so many reasons to appreciate our lives. Things have been crazy with COVID, I know, but appreciate your life. So many people have lost so much. Appreciate the sacrifices of many, the sacrifices that continue to be made every single day of our lives. This is easy to forget.. but we mustn't. We can't make vain the sacrifices of many. We must remember, we must appreciate.
