A bouquet for you

My daughter in law had cataract surgery last week and I wanted to send her a "thinking of you" card. The flowers are Alexandra Renke paper. I cut a Gina Marie die to use as a mat for it.  Renke papers are so beautiful and they are now harder to find in the U.S. so I'm kind of hoarding them.

I sent my hearing aids in for service three weeks ago and I haven't heard a thing since.



Be kind to one another.

    What a pretty card Brenda. Hope recovery for your DIL is swift.

    I've decided to start a business selling hearing aids to pirates - I'm going to charge a buccaneer....... (sorry!!!!!)
