Our temperatures have been in the high 50's-mid/high 60's (degrees Fahrenheit ) during the daytime~ (I'm bracing myself for what's to come : ) LOL)
Today we have a beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine; so it makes me feel happy. <3
I have the blessing of some wonderful siblings~ And my 'baby sis' is such a dear friend to me.
She is a 'kindred spirit' and I love her so much <3
This card is for her~
I was recently sitting amongst (Google says that is not a word!) - OK then, well, hmmm, I was sitting at my craft desk surrounded by some beautiful things- and hoping for inspiration to make this card. Some of the fabrics and laces below came from a wonderful shop on Etsy that belongs to Suzi~ She is an amazing artist and her blog is a place I can always find encouragement and inspiration. Here is her blog; it will also lead you to her ETSY shoppe~

Though the 'baby' of the family (she is 7 years my junior) she has that wonderful natural ability
to communicate loving care and attention to all of us : ) She recently sent some flowers; so I want to acknowledge her with a small homemade card.
Aren't the laces and Sari (I think) ribbon lovely!? They came from Suzi's Etsy; as well as the image.
I had a left over handmade flower from a previous project - and it found a nice home here : )
I adorned the woman's hair with a few small pearl beads. There's a little 'thank you' tag peeking out from the ribbon.
I TRULY appreciate your visit today!! and blessings to you in this week ahead~
Hugs,
Karen
