Fall Mum Bouquet

This card brings back fond memories of when I lived in Palmyra, Missouri.  I had a dear friend who was the nurse at my school where I was the school librarian and she had beautiful Chrysanthemums all around her house.  One Fall she invited me over to dig up some of her mums and plant them around my house.  I wasn't aware that they spread when set out like that.  She had all colors and was so very generous to share them.  When I moved to Texas, I had to go off and leave those beautiful Fall flowers and it about broke my heart. But today, when I stamped this card using Kitchen Sink Multi Step Clear Stamp set Harvest, it jogged my memory  It's an awesome stamp set including the basket and Chrysanthemums.
