July Cards

Lorrie is the Catering Booking Person at the hospital and we've known each other for many years.  This card is for her July birthday:

"Greetings for your birthday

For a wonderful day

And a year that brings

The very best

Of everything your way."

My brother-in-law Scott celebrated his 50th birthday this month.  Scott is a geography professor, so I liked using the map papers for his card.

 "Celebration of 50 wonderful years

Full of Memories you've treasured.

May today present another day

 Of a memory of love and pleasures."

My sister Terry and her husband Nelson, married in 1970, celebrated an anniversary this month.

"This anniversary greeting is coming now to say

The heartfelt thanks we often don't say from day to day.

And for the thoughtful things you've done and all that you still do,

May all the joy you so deserve return today to you."

My nephew Jake was 21 years old this month.  The photo is Jake with his Dad and Mom-Amy and Scott-when he was a baby.

"Many joyful happy wishes

On this day you're twenty one.

May you always gaily travel

On the new road just begun,

May you find good friends and fortune

All along a happy way

May you carry golden memories

Of a truly perfect day."

 

 

My sister Amy was 50 years old this month.

"Its great to wish you Sister

A very exceptional day

With everything that's good in life

To come hurtling your way.

You know I really love you

In a caring and special way

I really hope that you have

A fun-filled 50th birthday."

 

 

My Aunt Bernice was 95 years old this month.  When we're together, she shares memory after memory of her past and even my hometown.  I enjoy every minute of our time together.

"Dear friend you are 95 today

What a wonderful life have led

Those interesting tales and knowledge you have

Glad you didn't leave them unsaid

Happy Birthday

Keep telling those wonderful stories."

 

 

Sister Amy and her husband Scott celebrated 28 years of marriage this month.  They both had birthdays too, as did their oldest son Jake.

"May the memories of all you've shared

Fill your hearts today,

And may all the coming years

Bring the love that's here to stay.

Happy wedding anniversary."

 

 

Here's the fun part:  Remember the 4 day vacation we took at the start of July to a rural cabin-where there are no electronics?  I made all of these cards there.  I added a few extra touches to the outsides and verses to the inside when I came home. I make my list and pull out some papers that remind me of them to make a kit to take with me where I worked outside on a picnic table for a short time everyday..

 

Most of the verses I use come from the internet site, "Craftstoprint.com".
