I'VE BEEN {PATIENTLY} WAITING

My friend asked me to create two thank you cards

and she wanted them to have a beach theme

since she was thanking them

for their generosity and hospitality.

One card was delivered in June.

The second one we had to wait

because the recipient was out of town

for a couple of months.

It's now safe to post!

I'm a little behind ...

So sorry.

For some reason,

these cards never "made the cut."

Meaning I never wrote a post about them.

First up.

This card went to a very sick young lady.

Just a little something to cheer her up.

My cousin celebrated a birthday earlier this month.

I hope it was a happy one! 

Teresa celebrated her special day

earlier this week.

And last but not least ...

My friend's friend married.

On the beach.

So how perfect is this image?

Birthdays

This card will be sent or has already been sent to a lady in Minnesota.  This is a new customer for me and that is always exciting.  I'm not sure of the actual birth date, but I know she will be celebrating this month.  I hope she enjoys all the special touches I did on this card; lots of different products and techniques.

I delivered this card yesterday to another new customer!  She asked for something "beach-y" to give to her husband for his 50th birthday.  When she presents the card, she will reveal the surprise she has for him: she is taking him to Florida to celebrate the half-century mark.  First up is the envelope ...

 

and then the card - golly, I sure love the bathing suits on these guys ...

 and I sure hope he abides by all the Beach Rules that are on the inside of the card.

Just finished two more birthday cards and have another one I want to crank out today.  I'm sorry, but no pictures will be shared here until their special days.  (They read my blog - but the recipients of the cards shown here are not readers - yet!)  Can't wait to share with you.

Enjoy yourself, whatever it is that you are finding yourself doing this week.
