Somthing sweet for you!

Actually, i used a plastic candy cane (not so sweet..but low in calories),  a real one would be wonderful as a gift and it would fit!  I was afraid that it would break if i sent it out in the mail so i went for the plastic one.   This is an ornament/gift.  I got the original idea from a Magnolia Ink magazine and changed it a bit.

I enjoyed making my card this week, i designed my own sentiment using this awesome font called  "Before the Rain". 

From the Twist of Faith Blog:

LIGHT

"Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a lamp for my path."
