A note about this week's freebie:

Every other week, will be creating freebie sentiments picked by a member of the design team.  These are some of their favorite sentiments! Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them.  This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Kimberly!  Kimberly is a wonderful person who really does provide me with a lot of encouragement and support.  I'm so very lucky to have met her :)

Sentimental Sundays Weekly Freebie:

Free sentiments are only available for one week.
