Hope it is to your liking Margaret.
Oooops, it turned sideways for some reason.

Love it Russell.....It is the kind of thing that I make...as you already know from my Flickr pages.
I think cards such as these with such personal details are a joy to receive.
The folk who live near me know I make cards...and I frequently get a knock on my door with a request for something special.
I also write my own verses too and try to personalise those.
Most times any money that comes to me for my cards goes to Macmillan...but until July 2020 I am raising funds to send a boy on a volunteering trip to Borneo(it is my daughters boy).
He will be doing rainforest conservation work during the school holidays of that year.
An adventure for him...and pleasure for me making cards to help his funds.
