A stamping friend of mine recently told a few of us in our circle a very good friend of hers’ wife was in a bad car accident last week with their two young children – and simply put, the two children are in need of some prayers. She asked if any of us would be willing to send them a fun spring or Easter card, as their dad told her they really enjoyed getting the cards she would mail them on occasion.

I can hardly believe it’s been three weeks since my birthday already! So much has happened since then, including my beloved horse’s own birthday. 🙂
This is a set of thank you cards for the many sweet people who went out of their way to bless me on or around my birthday – and as I wanted to get them in the mail straight away, I needed a clean and simple card to get the job done fast.

I was super excited when I opened the Lawn Fawn Charity Grab Bag I ordered last December to find the adorable Simply Celebrate Spring stamp set! Of course, in December my creative thoughts included nothin’ but snow and cozy ambiance, but other than a few flower sets, my collection greatly lacked spring themed products, especially for “true Spring” occasions like graduations and the theme of today’s card (and this week!): St. Patrick’s Day!
I’ve likely never created a St. Patrick’s Day card (in my life), but they’ve always appealed to me – bright, happy, and full of one of my longtime favored colors: GREEN! Plus, I was positively dying to use the new scallop frame dies I ordered from My Favorite Things for my birthday recently – they are awesome in that they give you a big some of points for your birthday and I’ve been searching for dies like this for some time – so I grabbed ’em and got a discount – and had them at our door within THREE days! Holy smokes, MFT! THANK YOU! (And always – thank you for the jelly bean! I adore that and the happy tissue paper – it’s an extra delight to open a package from your company!!!)

The pandemic has changed so many aspects of our lives, hasn’t it? Including my sudden desire… no, make that need, to make and send Easter cards.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
Though I am a longtime follower of Christ and believe with every cell in my body that He died for us – for each and every one of us! – I have never before made nor sent Easter cards. Believe me, I’ve wanted to a time or two (or ten). I just always ran out of time! And to be honest, it’s not that I’ve got a ton of extra time on my hands right now (I still have to travel to and from the barn, and am spending just as much time with my horse as ever), but since I’m pretty well caught up with birthday cards and the like for the near future, I turned my crafty attention to one of the most beautiful holidays of all – Easter!
