Beautiful card

Happy Friday everyone. I hope all is well and you are looking forward to a great weekend. Jim and I are finally starting our Christmas shopping – I know we are late shoppers, but we have a great time.

As you may know, I work in a law firm and last year we merged with another firm out of Charlotte, North Carolina; over this past year, I have talked to a wonderful lady, MaryAnn, and have gotten to know her a little bit and am so looking forward to finally meeting her this coming year. I recently sent her a birthday card and when I came into work this morning, was pleasantly surprised when I received this Christmas card from her.
I didn't realize that MaryAnn made cards, so when I wrote her to thank her and asked if she has been doing this for a while, she shocked me by saying she was inspired to make one just for me because she had received my handmade card for her birthday – now, how wonderful is that :) My question to you is, does this look like MaryAnn just begun cardmaking – I say NO. This is absolutely beautiful and will have it sitting in my office from here on out to look at and admire. MaryAnn, thank you so much for the beautiful card, and again, thank you for our growing friendship, can't wait to meet face to face and getting to know you much better this coming year.

I hope you all have a great Friday and fabulous weekend.
