Normal Day Wall Hanging

i made this wall hanging for myself, as a reminder to appreciate the quiet, average days, and the simple things during them. it's hanging on my wardrobe door - a recent purchase that came packaged in a lot of cardboard, some of which was used to make this project!the current challenge at Caardvarks is to use a verse or quote. i have used a partial quote from Mary Jean Iron for this one. i love using and reading quotes, and have quite a collection of favourites i look up once in while.Caardvarks has been posting "cards and more" - an awesome selection of beautiful creations by the dt. and as i'm still getting back into crafting and have made wall hangings in various mediums before, their ideas gave me the inspiration to do this project. i think it's a great concept they've come up with!! and, i actually thought today was the deadline, but i see now that it's not :) thanks for looking, and enjoy your "normal day!"
