Knowledge is POWER!

I often tell my kids: Knowledge is POWER! I use it as a disclaimer as I ramble on about things that I want them to know and be aware of. Some of the things I tell them are for their own safety and for my peace of mind. :) You know the things: always lock the doors, don't walk in ditches... don't give in to peer pressure... and so on and so on and so on. I think if I talked for 8 hours a day, I couldn't possibly tell my kids all the things I want them to know.

Perhaps I will use this card to write a note to one of my girls on the first day of school this year! :) I just LOVE that this stamp set depicts a studious little girl.

I used a very BUSY patterned paper in the background, so I kept the rest of the card a little minimalistic. The sketch came from Cindy Haffner's blog.
