Cards for Friends

I've just realized that I haven't posted anything here

for a number of days now

but

over these past few days I have been creating some cards -

some for happy occasions and some for sad occasions too.

 

This first one I created for a friend, Glenda, whose

Mother-in -Law passed away at 103 within

days of Glenda's Birthday.

I thought that was too sad but she told me also

that her own mother died on her Birthday

a few years before this.

 

 This was a pretty hard call
but she loved her card when I handed it to her.
It is a nice feeling to see someone's sadness lift
even for a just a short time!

 

 This one was very difficult for me to create as a very dear, to me,
bloggey friend lost their husband recently and
I just wanted to rush to her to comfort her but living
on the opposite side of the world
made that just impossible
to do
and
falling short of handing her the biggest bunch of roses
I could gather from my garden I
created this Rose lover's card
below

 

in the hope of bringing a little special love to her broken heart!

  

But on the upside of all of this

I was asked to create a special Birthday card for another

bloggey friend, Nancy, for her daughter-in-law, Candy.

 

 

 Nancy sent me a few baby images

 

as well as one of her now

and the words "You must have been a beautiful baby" -

"Because Casey look at you now!".

 

 

 and this last card was for another friend of mine, Dottie,

whose darling mother is 93 years of age

and she wanted to send this to

New Zealand

for

Mother's Day coming up in May.

 

 

 This is Dottie's mother in the 1930's

 

 looking all dressed up in her fur coat

on her way down the street

 

 and as she has always loved flowers

there were several placed around her lovely image.

 

♥♥♥♥♥

 

In between all of these card creations

there has been some other projects

in the pipeline

and 

this is just a sneak peek at a new custom order lace book

in the making!

 

 

 

It really is such a beautiful vintage image of this

woman with roses draping from her hair

that it is a very pleasurable piece

of artwork for me to be engaged with at the moment.

 

I do hope that you are finding lots of joy and inspiration

in your life and/or in the projects you may be

involved with at the moment!

 

I just would like also to say "Thank you"

to everyone inc. new followers to my blog also

for the kindest comments left on my 

previous post about

creating a journal for a special friend.

 

I do hope that you all had a wonderful Easter break

and celebration with friends and/or family!
