Spirella & Flowers

This is a thank you card I made a few nights ago for 4 of us co-workers to sign and send to our friend who retired last year. She had us over for lunch last Friday - once again, we always leave her, feeling insanely jealous. It was the first time 3 of us had been in her house so it was cool seeing all the things we've heard her talk about for years. They did some major renovations in this house, which we remember hearing about. Her husband has this amazing wood shop in their barn. It was the one time I wish I had a camera phone - it was all so orderly and organized, I was beside myself. Tools hung neatly on pegboards. He must have 25-30 hammers - it blew me away! Shelves of glue bottles and paint, enough to stock a small store. A whole shelf of little drawers, some labeled, some not. Seriously, if I'm ever invited back, I'm taking my camera.

This is a wedding card I made for an order - but now I'm going to make 10 more to sell. Those are tiny white seed beads in the flowers. From my 60's stash. Seriously.
