Thank You card for Mum

Hi bloggers,

Hope you are having a nice weekend... it is 11.05 pm here in Jakarta and the weekend is almost over...

I sent this thank you card to my dear Mum... and it did manage to reach her in 10 days. Thank God - better late than never!

The flowers are home made (surprise, surprise) and the papers are from Terry's blog candy yet again.
The rectangular stamp is from Prima and so are the faux gems.
The sentiment is handwritten.

Mum loved the card, she said it was perfect for spring...

No, I did not send her a card for Mother's Day...

Happy Mother's Day with lots of hugs,

Monica

About Me

My name is Monica and I am a mother to two lovely girls aged 22 and 14. We moved back to Singapore in June 2014 after having lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Mumbai. I have a background in Psychology and Sociology Honours along with a post grad diploma in Journalism. I used to work in direct marketing for a premium hotel in India before I decided to become a stay at home mother. I have been creating and selling greeting cards for charity since 17 years. I often use unusual packaging material on my cards to respect and care for the environment. Presently, I share my cards as well as the proceeds from their sales with a shelter that houses and supports abused women in Singapore. Besides this, I run an initiative (UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY - UWS) on meditation, wellness, art and culture. You can find my page on Facebook under the name of UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY-UWS. I also hold mindfulness/wellness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. Besides, I hold Mindful Art and Card workshops for mothers and children.
