80 Years and Counting…

Last week we celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday, and I thought you might enjoy seeing the card I made for her. I sketched a silly cartoon on the front…

and drew a funky “happy birthday” inside, with a personal note written below it. She got a kick out of it, and funny as the card was, everything on it is true. (Well, except the part about being honored at the White House!) She really is incredible, and I’m so blessed to have her as my mom.
