"Hopes Fulfilled" Kit

Reactions: 
Hello dear friends, I hope you are all doing well.  We are getting lots of grey and drizzly weather here which means we are in for a harsh winter.  My boys went to the park in the rain and loved every minute of it.

This post is a little long as I have to explain the reason for the title of my newest Kit "Hopes Fulfilled".  This kit is in celebration of my 15th Anniversary with my sweet Hubs.  Hard to believe it's been 15, I can hardly remember a time before we were together.  We have been through so much together, including infertility, adoption, foster care, 2 more adoptions within 7 months, moving, building a new house, and many numerous happy memories together.  My Hubs is such an adorable, sweet man and I am so blessed to have him in my life forever.  He is so patient and loving, considering I spend too much time online with my blogs...he thinks I'm nuts with my blogs, but supports me 100%.  Truly Blessed I would say...love ya Hon!
Backstory time:  On our 1st date together, we double dated with a couple in our LDS Church Branch that were engaged (no pressure there...eh...lol).  We went to a Chinese restaurant and at the end of the dinner, the fortune cookies were set on the table.  I, being the goofy girl I am, spoke up first and wanted to choose my fortune first.  I opened mine, and then just about died.  The other's read their fortunes out loud and when it came to me, I said something corny like "Opportunity only knocks when she can't reach the doorbell."  Everyone laughed and I sooo didn't want to read the real one out loud - my face was turning bright red...the pressure was on as they all said, No, come on, read the real one.  I read it out loud..."HOPES FULFILLED...AND A GOOD MARRIAGE."  Talk about hysterically funny.  I was so embarrassed and all these years later I still get a good laugh from it.  Hence why I have titled this kit "Hopes Fulfilled".  As all my hopes in my life have been fulfilled, all I've ever dreamed of...being a wife and mother, have come true and my life is even better than my dreams.  Hope you enjoy this kit - I've even included some fun little doodles I created with my pen tablet...yeehah!  I would love to hear your feedback and comments.  They keep me motivated.  Hugs,  Andi

Thanks a lot for the free download. The papers are super cute. I appreciate that you make a separate download for the papers because I use Picasa and can only use the papers and not any embellishments.
