Across the Years and the Miles…

“If you make one, true, long-lasting friend in your life time, you are truly blessed.” My father gave me that advice as my best friend and her family were leaving North Carolina for Hawaii. Our fathers were Marines. At that time, we were 13 years old. During the next 60 years, we managed to stay in touch even-though there were sometimes hundreds or thousands of miles between us. I feel so blessed that today, we can pick-up the phone and still talk for hours.

This card is to celebrate her and her husband’s 49^th anniversary. Hope they have many more of these special occasions.

*******************************

The flowers are a pale peach Foamiran, blended with Mango by Gelato’s. The centers are Lemon Chiffon Prills. The Mandala is a laser-cut design found through 14 CraftBar and accented with several pearled watercolors. The leaves are die cut out of USArtQuest’s, Indian Batik Marble – Harvest Green.

It is always such a joy to create special cards for special people. This month, there are at least four more anniversaries and two birthdays (one being my husbands!). Guess I had better get off the computer and back to my “card room!”

Till next time,

May God Bless You and Yours
