A Watering Can Full of Flowers for Mom

 


Hello! Sorry I've been absent this week. I'm just coming out of a bad autoimmune flare up that lasted about ten days. Ugh. Brain fog. Fatigue. Joint pain. The works. I'm not sure what triggered it...maybe a change in the weather? I'm just starting to feel like myself today. 

I was finally feeling like I had enough energy and brain function to make a card today. Yay! I made this one for my mom, who is celebrating her 87th birthday tomorrow. What a blessing!


I paired The Greetery's watering can with PTI's Simple Sunflowers for a card that says end of summer. I used Concord and 9th inks, and the more I use them, the more I really love them!

I found some really cute washi tapes at Hobby Lobby, and this week, they were half off! They come in two and three packs for coordinating. I love adding them to envelopes.

After some much needed rain, our temperatures have really cooled off. Looks like it's going to be a lovely day to visit Mom.

Blessings, cafe friends!
