Cards for Academy Functions

The West Virginia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, of which I am a member, has an annual meeting in the spring.  At each meeting, there is a raffle to raise money for the national academy's scholarship program.  I made a set of greeting cards for the West Virginia Craft basket.  

Childrens Hour Collection

 "12 greeting cards each representing a month of the year-perfect for a birthday, holiday or 'just because'.  Add your own greeting inside.  Suitable for all ages."

I also made a set of thank you notes for the meeting coordinator to send to the speakers.

"Just a little note to say Thank You

For all the things you do

And all the things you are." 

Winter Fridays

For many years, we enjoyed Friday time at Books A Million.  We'd buy coffee and a magazine, sit down and relax.  Before retirement, this time was often later in the evening.  Now we walk a mile inside the old mall, do our thing at BAM, then enjoy BBQ Chicken pizza for lunch at Lotsa Mozza.

February Cards

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to open my mailbox and find the lovely bookmark and pen from my lifelong friend Vicki.  I sent her the Valentine above with a favorite digital image of the lady with the rose outfit. 

 

I also made Valentines for my sisters and Bob with that same digital image. For my sisters:

"It takes more than lace and ribbons 
And lovely verses too
To make a Valentine
Thats nice enough for you
It takes a world of special thoughts
Tucked into every line
And thats exactly what you'll find
Inside this valentine."

 

For our kids.

"With all the sunshine things you do, (Greg & Michelle)
The smiles you share -the laughter, too -
With all the dreams you make come true...
It's great to have kids like you!"

 You are so very special      (Chris)
and this card has come your way,
loaded with hugs and kisses
because its valentines day."

 For Mom.

"Once upon a memory  
Someone wiped away a tear
Held me close and loved me,
Thank you, Mother dear.

 For Bob's brother David.

Valentines, valentines (David)

Red, white and blue

I'll make a nice one

And send it to you."

For my brother Jim.  (That's a tiny picture of him as a preschooler.

For Donnie, a life long friend, whose Mother died this month.  Alice was a friend of Moms'.  Mom wrote "loved her" inside the card.

"As the Lord welcomes your Mother home to perfect peace.

May he also comfort you and lead you through your sorrow."

For the Lemleys whose son died this month.  The obituary talked about how kind the adult son was, and that reminded me of the Dad, Clarence.

For our son Greg who was 31 on February 23rd.  I sent him a flash drive with favorite pictures of his first 3 years.

My brother in law Nelson is 70 this week.  My sister tells me they framed the card I made last year.

"Your special birthday has arrived

For 70 years you've been around

So many things you've seen and done

What richness in life you have found

Happy 70th birthday."
