This is the card I made for my Dad for Father’s Day. Sorry I missed getting a picture of the card I made for Mom for Mother’s Day. It was two ducks swimming in a pond. She later told me about the Massachusetts state book about waiting for ducks to cross the road, which is what inspired this scene. The ducks are removable so they can cross the road.

These are what I sent to my family for Christmas. Each family’s is made from a card they sent me in past years. I didn’t get a picture of the last one on its sparkly board before my camera batteries ran out. I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas.

Just in case there is anyone reading my blog, and who has never seen one of these creatures, I think everyone needs to know they exist. I had never heard of them before about a week ago. They won an ugliest animal contest.

After I made this card for my mom, I played around a lot with photographing it.

Amazing how different the colors look in different lighting.

I think this is my favorite one because the beads look like they light up.

I hope everyone has a happy Mother’s Day.

This is still my favorite Christmas carol.

These are the cards I made for my family.  They’re all on their way to their destinations now.

We’re here where the daylight begins
The fog on the streetlight slowly thins
Water on water’s the way
The safety of shoreline fading away

Sail your sea
Meet your storm
All I want is to be your harbor
The light in me
Will guide you home
All I want is to be your harbor

Fear is the brightest of signs
The shape of the boundary you leave behind
So sing all your questions to sleep
The answers are out there in the drowning deep

Sail your sea
Meet your storm
All I want is to be your harbor
The light in me
Will guide you home
All I want is to be your harbor

You’ve got a journey to make
There’s your horizon to chase
So go far beyond where we stand
No matter the distance
I’m holding your hand

Sail your sea
Meet your storm
All I want is to be your harbor
The light in me
Will guide you home
All I want is to be your harbor

Sail your sea
Meet your storm
All I want is to be your harbor
The light in me
Will guide you home
All I want is to be your harbor
