Peony Birthday...

Can we conceive what humanity would be if it did not know the flowers? ~Maurice MaeterlinckMy Grandma requested birthday cards...and lots of them. My Mojo is gone, but when Grandma asks for cards and sends a Check I have to get busy!!! I printed out a bunch of digital images weeks ago and they were sitting on my desk, so I grabbed some paper scraps and started coloring...so far I have been able to whip up 3 cards...still need to make 7 more At Least!

I tried to keep the embellishments to a minimum to make it easier for her to mail them. But sometime I get carried away with the bling ;)

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others. -Marianne WilliamsonWow, it has been weird around my house lately...with work, school, personal crap, blah blah blah. Somewhere along the way my Mojo took and Extended vacation...I really wish he would come back!!!
