Tomorrow is my monthly card class at a local senior living center. They look forward each month to me coming and I am always welcomed with excitement and delight. They love to hear about how things are going in my business. They always interested and ask if I have earned anymore trips or special awards.
Many of these women have difficulty with arthritis, a little shakiness and vision challenges. I choose the projects carefully so they are able to feel a sense of accomplishment and are able to complete most of the card on their own.
This is the first card we will be making. I have the butterflies all pre-cut and the buttons pretreated. So it is just the sentiment and and putting it together.

Today's cards can be used for birthday, sympathy, get well, thinking of you or anniversary. Sometimes when I stamp cards and leave them blank until I am ready to send them, that way I have a card for any occasion on hand. Make it a great week!

Hi Patsy: I always look forward to your daily inspiration. With 9 grandchildren, 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws, plus friends, brothers, sisters, in-laws, etc. I am always looking for new ideas for cards for them.
Your “clean & simple” cards make it easy for me to make several cards at one sitting.
I really enjoy your blogs and inspiration. Your cards are beautiful and give me lots of inspiration. Thank you.
