Time to Remember!

As Remembrance Sunday approaches under clouds of controversy I wanted to make something to place in my window. Your home is one place where other people can not tell you how to feel or who to give thanks to! Why is there so much objection to a internationally recognized non political and non religious symbol?
I give thanks to every single person who has fought for our country 
and a special thank you to those who gave their lives doing so!

My Poppy is also for challenges at:

Rainbow Lady ~ Remembrance with Poppies.
Allsorts ~ Anything but a Square.
Polka Doodles ~ Shaped Card.
Simon Says Stamp ~ Photo Inspiration.
