Daisy Thanks

 


Hello fellow bloggers. After a 3 month absence I am hoping to post more
regularly. Both John and I have had health issues, but during the long break
 I have not been completely idle...I have made many of my Christmas cards
as well as creating a large mixed media art work for a wedding gift (which
sadly has had to be postponed for a second time due to this awful virus).


Several months ago I drove 7 hours north to a reunion for those of us who began
our secondary schooling in 1963😲...yes, that long ago! I had a wonderful week-
end, catching up with old friends and reliving many memories. A pleasant surprise 
was that three of our teachers attended. The reunion, almost 2 years in the planning
 was so well organised, mostly by one lady living approximately 1,500 kms (1,000 miles) 
away from the reunion. To thank Jenny for her mammoth effort, 
I gave her this card (with a box of choccies).


I thought the stamped sentiment inside the card was perfect for 
the occasion.


A closer look at my handmade daisies and the die-cut greeting.

Please all stay safe in these uncertain and scary times.

Until next time (hopefully soon),
Hugs (virtual of course)
Jennifer.  xx
