I was so excited when I saw Pam request a tea party for Chris' MIL, Sandy. The reason was because I saw the address where her MIL lives and it is about 5-6 miles from me and Chris is staying with her for a while. I was so excited, I chatted in the no chat area. Ha I apologized to Jacqueline and she forgave me. LOL It is my first time meeting face to face with an active SCS member. And, Chris is such a sweet and fun girl. She is taking such good care of her MIL. Talk about a good DIL, she is one.
Chris and I have been out to lunch a couple of times and hit Hobby Lobby once, also. I think we are going to lunch this week.
The first meeting I gave Chris a card and sent one to her MIL. Her MIL and my friend/neighbor for years before she moved away were friends.....small world, huh?
To my card, Chris told me her MIL likes birds and thinks her favorite is a chickadee. So, I made her a chickadee card. Guess I am in trouble for not doing one from Chris' gallery. I made this one for her a couple weeks ago. So, I want to upload it today.
The little chickadee is a stamp that I colored, fussy cut, and popped on mounting foam.

How fun to be able to meet up, sorry Chris is not in town for a more positive reason though. Your card is just lovely, the dreamy-looking background is perfect for the chickadee and the branch looks like it was made to go with that foliage!

This is so lovely...I'm sure it will bring Sandy some cheer. And how amazing that you live so close that you're able to connect with Chris. What a small world. I'm sure it's nice for her to have a break from care taking and spend time with an SCS pal.

What a gorgeous card this is Brenda, and one that will truly be appreciated by Sandy who loves chickadees so much. Your background is beautiful and the way you added the foliage is such a great setting for this wonderful little birdie. Oh, it is so much fun meeting up with scs friends. How neat you live so close to Sandy and have been able to meet Chris now. This is all so exciting, and it shows in this glorious card you made too! ~Karen.
