Moving Cards

Well I am a bit miss in posting this week. Last week I had to run up to Oregon to finally lay my MIL to rest so to speak. This was the final transition of her death and was just waiting for my FIL to be able to proceed. I know this was very hard for him. They had been married for 62 year and were married at 18. That's a long time together.

Any hoo between finishing my second quilt and going to Oregon I haven't had much scrappy time. Frankly this whole quilting thing is taking over my life and I am not sure I like it. Granted I won't be going gung ho, I like things that are easy and that means my quilts need to be as simple as possible.

In the midst of all this my mother has sold her home and is now trying to find a new place to live so I have been helping her house hunt. Here in California by the time you go to an open house its sold, it's really very crazy. But she has to move one way or the other and I decided to come up with a few cards she can send to her friends to let them know her new address. I was going to do a bunch of just one design but somehow I couldn't resist making different ones.

I don't have a stamp that says I've Moved so I had to resort to some alpha stamps, not all that fond of them but hey they do the job.

So here are the first two.

I colored this one with copics

 

And this one was painted with watercolor crayons.
