Thanksgiving Card

November is upon us.
For me November is special for a couple reasons.

My birthday is in November and it's the month

where I concentrate on things I'm thankful for.

Today's project is a card that I will be sending to 

my Aunt Marilyn.  Aunt Marilyn was my Mom's 

best friend for almost 90 years.  She lives in a nursing home

in Charlotte, NC and is now 97 yrs old.  She is one of the

sweetest ladies you'd ever meet.

This card started out as a Halloween card,

I sketched the pumpkin, then decided to cut it out

into pieces, and layered it onto the patterned paper.

The leaves at the top and the stem are cut out from a

patterned paper that is all leaves and flowers.

I thought it looked more like a Thanksgiving card

than a Halloween card, and will be perfect to send to her.

I am so thankful that I have had Aunt Marilyn in my life

and that she can still be part of my life.

I haven't been able to see her, because of Covid,

but I've talked to her and she is doing well.

She did test positive for Covid earlier in the year,

but luckily she didn't have any symptoms.

She's one strong lady!

Do you have someone special, like this, in your life?

Here's a picture of my sweet Aunt Marilyn,

this was taken at the beginning of Covid when

the nursing home had just closed to visitors.

They set up a photo booth and put a sign next

to her that said I miss you and sent me this beautiful

picture.  Doesn't look 97 yrs old, does she?

Thanks for stopping by today and spending a little time

here.  I hope your come again soon,

until then,

let someone know you're thankful for them.
