Stamps Ahead

My mother died far too early over 30 years ago - my how time flies - so I really enjoy making cards for others to give to their mothers. These are just two of the cards I am sending off to Grafton to be sold to raise funds for a missionary in Kiev. The inside greeting "hope your day is blooming with love." I have watercoloured the image with my SU markers - my favourite method of colouring by far. Thank you for stopping by.

I went to the mailbox yesterday and in there was a postcard from Jordan. I thought first of all it was from a friend who was in this area in November and her postcard got lost/delayed. I wrote sometime ago that I was making Mother's Day cards to be sent to Australian troops overseas. I am so excited that some of mine made it to Jordan and that they took the time to write a thank you. Now I don't know if this is confidential info. so I have blocked out details that were on the bottom of the card.
