hodgepodge

I miss my daughter.

This year has been easier in some ways as I’m slowly getting used to her being away at school. On the other hand, the visits have been much fewer as she’s busy with a job this term as well. I applaud the initiative but worry about how she’s going to balance it all.

Next week she’s going to be home for reading week and I’m thrilled. We have lots of “girl” things planned. With so many males in this house, I’m really looking forward to it!

Today’s card is one that I created from a hodgepodge of paper scraps and embellishments that were on my desk. Don’t you know that the best way to clean is by using things up? Multitasking at its best! A cleaner desk and a card made to give away as a bonus.

When you look close you’ll notice that really, nothing much here matches or is repeated more than once. The trick is to cluster it together and to balance the colors of the items to make a pleasing whole.

When I was missing my daughter, this card made it’s way across the miles and cheered us both up.

Do you have someone you’ve been thinking of? Send them a piece of your heart to let them know you care. Don’t worry about perfect. It’s the thought that counts.
