This week's tea party is for Linda. She is missing her mom as I'm sure a lot of us are. My mom lost her battle with breast cancer 37 years ago, at age 59. She was a Labor & Delivery nurse, inspiring me to go into nursing. I retired 11 years ago after working 43 years! I can't believe that myself. But it was a rewarding career & I enjoyed most of it!! I've gotten to do so many things my mom didn't - she didn't see her grandchildren grow up, graduate, get married. She didn't get to retire & many other things. My mom loved getting flowers & cards, so I us the old set Timeless Love. I placed my panel in MISTI, adjusted the stamp a few times & stamped; then turned the paper a half turn & stamped again. I colored with Blends & a green Spectrum Noir pen. I put the panel back in MISTI & stamped the sentiment. Mounted onto Chocolate Chip & am finished. I will write a little note to Linda before sending this off tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.

You created a beautiful wreath to wrap that sweet sentiment for Linda. So lovely and so appropriate for this tea party. Loved your story about your mom and how she inspired you in life. I agree with Polly...she would be very proud of you. Wonderful card.

This is gorgeous. I love how you placed the floral semi-circle just off center and then flipped it. Beautiful composition and colored so perfectly. Thanks for sharing your mom's story and sending this lovely card to Linda.
