Moving....
Moving is something that people in the military just have to get used to. I have found that military families make friends fast, hard, and forever. If you're associated with the military, you know what I mean. The friendships are some of the strongest I've ever had in my life, and they last - no matter the miles between us as the military moves us from one part of the world to another.
I have yet another friend leaving me and I made her this card. She is such a lovely person, on the inside and out. My kids love her. They're always talking about how pretty she dresses when we see her at church (I try - but they never seem to notice when mommy isn't wearing "mommy" clothes!). She taught Sunday School and I always learned something new in her class and left feeling edified and uplifted. That's always a nice thing. She's just such a nice person and I am sad to see her go.
Anyway, we will miss Ashley and I hope that she enjoyed her card. She wears lots of colors (she has gorgeous blonde hair and can pretty much wear any color she wants!) so I wanted to give her a card with some color.
I had a lot of fun making this card - it made me feel creatively inspired once again and maybe I'm coming out of my slump! I would love to have my Mojo back!! :)
