Hello and Happy Sunday!  It's also Father's Day, so Happy Father's Day to all of you who fill that role.  I hope that you have had a fantastic day!  To Chet, who for all intents and purposes is my dad, I love you very much and am so amazingly blessed that you are in my life.

These past few days have been a combination of sunny and nice; chilly and windy; and just plain icky with thunderstorms.  Really, summer?  Really?  Where are you?  I know that technically you are a few days away but, for the sake of my sanity, can you just act like you're here already?  Mother Nature is starting to get on my nerves.  Probably mad because I didn't give her a card or present for Mother's Day.  Maybe I would have if she'd straighten up just one time.  Maybe.

Speaking of cards, my coworker had a birthday and since she is always the one that passes out birthday cards for everyone to sign, I decided that she needed a special card of her own.  No store-bought one for her after everything she does for us all.  I wanted something special and soothing, as well as something florally (is that a word - it is now) and feminine.

This is what I came up with.  It has her personality all over it.  She was pleasantly surprised and I was so happy that she liked it.  Isn't that what we all hope for - that the person we've made the card for loves that it was made personally for them and not mass-manufactured?  I know that's why I do it.
