Hello! Warning, my card today has lots and lots of PINK! Today is my mom's 96th birthday! And, she loves pink. I realize I could have just given her any card in my stash and she would not have known. But, sometimes, I feel that my cards are like a gift from my heart, so I decided to make one just for her. It is pink, but there is a lot of details too! Let me show you ... enjoy!
I decided to make this one an easel card, so she could leave it out on her table. See all the detail? There is a lot of stuff she can take apart! She has disassembled cards I have given her in the past. But, I think that might not happen now, as she doesn't get up and around without help now. She has been having a lot of confusion, as her Alzheimer's has definitely advanced. Every time I go to the nursing home, I have my fingers crossed that it will be a day that she knows me. But, it is hard, as conversations are less and less. That is why I think she deserves a pretty card and the pretty pink flowers I will be picking up at the florist on my way! Happy Birthday, Dorothy, aka my Mom!
