Flower Wave

I participated in a virtual crop last weekend. Oh what fun! It was great to see people I have crafted with in the past, and through the wonders of Zoom, it almost felt like we were crafting together.

Missing My Boy

My son turned 30 yesterday. Yikes!! He hasn’t been a boy for a while, he is a man, but as a Mother, he is my first born, so he will always be my boy. I’m just glad I made the decision when I had kids that since they would be getting older, I no longer need to!!!!

Summertime

In the last week or so, we have gone from late winter chilly weather, to mid-summer hot. It has been a crazy turnaround in temperature. Today it was 32 degrees!! The heat has made all the leaves burst open, and more flowers are blooming every day. I couldn’t help but make a summertime card for my post today.
