Write Words by Rosa Linda

I received this darling, frameable friendship card from Write Words by RosaLinda. 

This piece includes her original quote "Most friendships, like gardens, need time to flower and grow. But our special friendship has blossomed from the start".

We have been interacting on social media for years now and I have always found her sentimental work to be very beautiful. 

Perfect for when you want to say something to someone in a special way.

Here is a keepsake thank you card.

So touching is this encouragement card for a cancer survivor or someone with a serious illness.

For the fire fighter putting his/her life on the line each day.

 For the person who inspires you.

Another beautiful gift idea, a graduation poem.

If you are ever in need of a sending sentiments, stop by RosaLinda's shop.

Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful week ahead! ~Val

This Week's Blog Post

Golden Sheen Obsidian

I was recently asked to do a custom lanyard incorporating golden sheen obsidian. Although I have worked with other obsidians over the years, I have never used this one! So this gave me the opportunity to make a couple of other things like this bracelet.

I rotated the golden sheen with black obsidian. Golden sheen obsidian is volcanic glass that takes on this golden sheen when the lava quickly cools! Its shimmer is subtle in the light. It is incredibly difficult to pick of its color with the camera! The bracelet is available at Miss Val’s Creations.

Pretty Cards

I did my May card shopping at Bella Card Creations on Etsy. 

Mother’s Day

My niece loves zebra print so this was perfect for her!

The cards are so beautiful!

Flowers

My azalea flowers are looking marvelous!

Thank you for all your kind words that have helped reduce some of my anxiety with the upcoming eye surgery. It is in 19 days! I am getting really tired of having to wear glasses everyday! Those buggers hurt behind my ears no matter how they are adjusted!

Have a wonderful week ahead. After the desasterous tornadoes I hope everyone sees peaceful, beautiful spring weather. ~Val
