School's Out For Summer

I may not be able to blog quite so regularly for the next few weeks. The kids have finished school for their two month summer break. Yikes! They were home for a couple of days last week, but have gone off today to their Kaytana, or summer camp, so I still have my mornings free for creating for at least the next three weeks. After that, we'll have to see...
A few weeks ago a family friend from England was holidaying in Israel. She came to see us for the evening and proudly showed me photographs on her digital camera of some beautiful handmade cards that she had made. I was therefore flattered when she asked me to create a special birthday card for a good friend who was soon to celebrate her 70th birthday. They studied nursing together some years ago, so she asked me to illustrate her blue-eyed, blond-haired friend's nursing career, but also wanted me to include the fact that she practices yoga and enjoys music. It was a lot of fun to create this card, and I do hope that it made the birthday girl smile.
I recently started going to a local women's networking group which meets every two weeks. This morning it is my turn to talk for a short time about my business and the cards and pictures that I create. Public speaking is not exactly my favourite thing, but on the other hand it is rather nice to have the opportunity to show others what I make. Wish me luck. It will probably all be over by the time you have read this post.
