This week we have the option of sending our cards to Eula...and if you can imagine this...

she is celebrating birthday number 108

That is something to definitely celebrate, and she deserves a big party and lots of cards...

You can probably gather from my card that Eula loves parrots and does have a parrot...

My dear husband found the parrot image for me, and I put a stitching background on my card...It's been a while since I have done that, and this "grandma, may not be doing that again in the near future...LOL. I now know why my cross-stitch books, embroidery, crewel, smocking, etc. are just taking up space in my craft room. Stitching takes a long time to do! and it is hard on my Grandma eyes. but I truly hope that Eula likes her card...

The boat is stitched and I added some stickers and some sponging with distress inks...

Boat card

I stitched this boat card to give to My mother who needed a masculine sympathy card.

"Dear God

Be Good to me...

The sea is so wide

And My boat so small..."

The stitching pattern came from Rosanna from COC, thank you
