Here is my newest installment of the Thursday’s Thought!

I saw this saying on a plaque when I was with the girls on our “Girl’s Weekend” a few months ago and I thought that this would be a fun one to frame. You could also print this and put it on a wood block to make it look like a canvas print. If you do that, just be sure to print your photo in a matte finish! I did it in black and white so that it could go with any color decor. This is formatted to an 8 x 10 size.To print as a jpeg, or photo, right click over image and go to “save image as”, then save in a folder. You can then print it or send it out to your favorite photo processing center. For those of you that would like a PDF download click on this link:

it’s all good

This is a great print to frame and would perfect for gifts, home decor, office decor, or for a fun teacher gift. With all of the end of the year gifts that you need, (school, dance, sports etc.) this is a perfect little thank you gift!

I would like to make a canvas block with this and I can think of several places and people that this could go to! :)

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you are having a “GOOD” Thursday!
