September is a month of numerous birthdays in my family. Mike's birthday was in September. My mother's birthday was in September. A niece, a nephew, a step grand daughter, and a grand nephew (great nephew??) all have birthdays in September. I have not been so great about getting cards out in honor of the various celebrations, but I did manage to make a couple.
On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs. We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all.

ReplyDeleteYou're thinking of others. So good for them, so good for you!

ReplyDeleteHelp me nail down that great-/grand- issue, will you, please? I think I prefer "grand," since I'll never be a grandmother.
Wow! Those are so beautiful. I would cherish such a card. Well done, Olga!
ReplyDeleteGosh - they're so pretty - a wonderful gift from your own hands.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You made these??? They're absolutely gorgeous. You are so very talented. For us, July and August are the heavy birthday months.
ReplyDeleteYou are extremely creative. Those cards are absolutely wonderful and you couldn't give a better gift.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to all the wonderful people! Pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteYou do really nice work. Those are keeper cards and mean so much more than the card company supply.
ReplyDeleteThe mention of keeping cards...I found a hanging file in Mike's file cabinet that was marked "O" and in it were all the cards and little notes I had given him over the years. I had assumed he just tossed them, never knew he had the sentimental streak. He still surprises me.
ReplyDeleteWow that is really a neat find. Mike was a romantic as well as an excellent motorcycle mechanic!
DeleteYou do make very lovely cards.
You're all getting older together, which is kinda nice actually. And I agree, the cards are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! What machine do you have -- Cricut? I'm looking for a good, inexpensive one. My birthday, my mother's, and my nephew's are all in September. Great people were born in that month. [wink-wink!]
ReplyDeleteIt is a Big Shot that I got with a50% off coupon at AC Moore's.
DeleteThose cards are works of art! They really are just beautiful and I am sure they were very much appreciated! You are certainly a woman of many talents!
ReplyDeleteI think the family members you didn't get to will forgive you this one time.
ReplyDeleteThose cards are beautiful. I've always admired those with paper-crafting skills. I typically just write all over it, not make it pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards made with love by a healing woman.
ReplyDeleteThese are so neat. You are so talented. I'm sure those who received one of these will treasure them. This month must be hard for you. I'm keeping you in my prayers.
