"REJOICE...He Has Risen"

Happy Wednesday everyone.
Yes, I'm still here.  I know I have been missing in action since last Friday.  I didn't post here but I did submit something on Instagram on Monday and yesterday.  I didn't have time to sit at the computer to write on my blog.
DH is celebrating his birthday today.  Happy birthday to him.
My granddaughter wrote me the sweetest letter which arrived on yesterday.  As part of her educational skills, her mom and I started back in September getting her involved in learning to write letters.  I would write to her and she would respond back to me.  She has been very active in school this year as well as focusing on her studies and grades.  On her report card for the 2nd grading period, she receive one "B" and the remainder were "A's".  She was a little bit disappointed because her Science teacher forgot to add one of her grades into the book making her total grade for the nine week period a "B".  She told me back months ago that she was going to make all A's the next time she received her report card.  That was what her sweet letter was all about.  For the third grading period, she has made an A in all her subjects.  Her fifth grade graduation is June 11th.  She is heading to middle school next year.  We are all very  excited toward this milestone.
I had a dream last night in which I was making an Easter card with certain images .  I don't know who it is for or who it will touch in a certain way.  When I awaken this morning, I started on finding things in my craft room that appeared in my dream  to include on this card.
If this is for you, then Happy Easter and enjoy the view:

Enabler's List:
Cardstock: PaperandMore lavender;  Recollection deep purple and cream; Ranger Watercolor paper
inks: Distress Oxide (worn lipstick; fossilized amber; frayed burlap; mowed lawn; hickory smoke; tumbled glass; antique linen;  iced spruce; evergreen bough; stormy sky and blueprint sketch)
dies: Spellbinders cherry blossom; AliExpress book;   the cross was hand cut out by me
images are from Recollections dimensional stickers and I used a piece of cheesecloth to drape the cross
This "Hello" card was made with Stamperia paper and Jot stickers...posted on Instagram April 16
These two cards were made between Friday evening and Monday morning.  I went ahead and helped my daughter in Florida to accommodate her client.  He insisted that he had to have a customized card from me.  He even sent me an email asking me to make a customized card.  I instructed my daughter that her client should be charged extra for the order because I don't do customized cards.  What he saw, he should have selected out of the ones she showed but his insistence will pay off from these two.

I'm sorry for the long post.  At least you will have something to view for today and probably for tomorrow.  I have another appointment tomorrow and I am not sure if I can post here.

Thanks for your time, comments and support.

Sending you a hug and love,
Lois
