Expensive Card For Sister

[jennyjoan]

I also received that today - absolutely beautiful - because of the delay the seller refunded my money but I have contacted her and told her to give me the details so that I can pay her back. Bless her - she said "have it on me". But I am insisting on paying as it is so beautiful and handmade and you can't expect people to work for nothing.. Hopefully she will pass me on the details.

I will be ordering a card for my cousin's birthday in April but I will order it in March.

I got a nice card today. It's made using 'crystal art', which I'd never heard of up until now. It's a bit like painting by numbers but, instead of using paints, the picture is made up by attaching loads of individual coloured crystals to the card. It would be much too fiddly for me and totally drive me up the wall but Karen, who sent it, clearly enjoys the hobby and the result looks very impressive.

This is the card she used

(Karen is one of my former pupils, from forty-odd years ago!)

Lovely card for any cat lover like yourself Chris .

I'm fairly sure that's why Karen chose it, Anne. She knows I'm potty about cats - or should that be 'driven potty by cats', I wonder?
