Happy Birthday Mommy!

Morning friends

 

This is a scheduled post.  Today is my dear Mother's 76th birthday.... Happy Birthday Mom!

 

Today is the first official day of leave... horayyyyyy.  My Mother thinks my leave only starts on Monday.  I thought I would surprise her by arriving at the Home where she lives during her birthday tea.

 

A lot of my friends (bloggy ones included) and colleagues enquire how my Mom is doing, since she moved into her new home in May this year.  As I tell everyone that asks me, she is so well.  She is extremely happy in her new environment, she does not miss her home at all and tells everyone she is living the life of a Queen... So there you have it!  She has made loads of new friends and they have become our extended family now.  Kendall and I are always popping in and out, chatting with the residents.  The house mother told us to treat the Home as our second home.  Now, how sweet is that? 

 

Here's the card I made for her which I will be taking through today, with her gift.  Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.  It's something different, but I am experimenting... 

 

For this card, I have used some kraft cardstock.  Love it against the white of the fence and window frame.  The window frame and flower box are new items, so this is my first creation using them.  A purchase through Paola.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card.  From the side you can also get a nice view of the flowers in the flowerbox.

Here's another view from a different angle.  I think I'll be making quite a few of these to sell at work in the New Year... I am sure the girls will love it!

 

Thanks for the sweet comments you've been leaving me.  I've invested too much money in this hobby to give it up for good... I just think I need a good break and perhaps try something new for a change, like this style card for example.

 

Thanks so much for popping by once again, I so enjoy your visits.
