I am FINALLY home.....and sharing with you a cute "Halloween Treats" class card!

Good morning-
Home, Sweet, Home!!!
I am home....FINALLY!
Yesterday was a nightmare of a day trying to get home.
Dena & I had 2 delayed flights, a 66 mile per hour rain storm & then lost luggage!
Our first flight was delayed over 1 hour getting out of St. George.
We were told we would miss our connecting flight & plan on staying in Denver over night.
(Which was NOT what we wanted to do!)
We arrived in Denver just as our flight to Cedar Rapids was suppose to be leaving....but it was delayed for over 1 hour too.
So we finally got on that plane & then we sat on the runway for 
another 45 minutes in a 66 mile per hour rain/wind storm!
Our plane was rocking & shaking terrible & it was very scary!
BUT-
We finally arrived in Cedar Rapids LATE last night!
Just to find out that even though we had arrived- our luggage had not!
So we now have lost luggage that I pray they find & deliver to me sometime today!
It has EVERYTHING in it!!
But I got to sleep in my own bed for a few hours last night though!
AND
 I was so HAPPY to walk in the door of our home & see Deke!
I'm very thankful I'm finally home!
 Check out this cute File Folder style card that everyone joining me at my 
upcoming "Halloween Treats" class will be making!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Halloween!!
