I was so excited when I saw Pam request a tea party for Chris' MIL, Sandy. The reason was because I saw the address where her MIL lives and it is about 5-6 miles from me and Chris is staying with her for a while. I was so excited, I chatted in the no chat area. Ha I apologized to Jacqueline and she forgave me. LOL It is my first time meeting face to face with an active SCS member. And, Chris is such a sweet and fun girl. She is taking such good care of her MIL. Talk about a good DIL, she is one.
Chris and I have been out to lunch a couple of times and hit Hobby Lobby once, also. I think we are going to lunch this week.
The first meeting I gave Chris a card and sent one to her MIL. Her MIL and my friend/neighbor for years before she moved away were friends.....small world, huh?
To my card, Chris told me her MIL likes birds and thinks her favorite is a chickadee. So, I made her a chickadee card. Guess I am in trouble for not doing one from Chris' gallery. I made this one for her a couple weeks ago. So, I want to upload it today.
The little chickadee is a stamp that I colored, fussy cut, and popped on mounting foam.

Brenda, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about it. Such a cute little chickadee. How wonderful that you've been able to spend some time with Chris! I hope she and her MIL feel loved when they get all these cards!

Wow! Beautiful card Brenda! I love the blues and even blue leaves! What a wonderfully colored little chickadee! How neat is it that Chris's MIL was so close to where you live! It's nice that she can get out for a break and spend time with you!

Your card is so pretty. I love all the blended sky colors. Thrilled for your new connection! I can relate as one4joy and I are also about 6 miles apart.
