We're almost into June, and with Memorial Day this weekend, I send my prayers and thoughts out to all the wonderful brave men and women who have given their lives or are giving of themselves for our country. May God bless you all and bring you home soon. On a less solemn note, I have been doing a few new things: corsage pins and hat pins for all the lovely hats worn by women who go to "tea" in the afternoon! Also, I have fallen in love with dominoes!! I'm taking a class through Roses on my Table and am very pleased with my results.

In March, my dear lovely neighbor, Beverly, had a birthday and I created this "Frida" collage for her along with a Zentangle birthday card of a bird. She loves birds and has many Hispanic artifacts in her house. She is truly one of my greatest inspirations in my life.
