Mexican inspired kitschy shrine to my mother

My mother was almost a saint. She spoke quietly, which Marco misses a lot. She was a sweet and elegant woman who loved to be with her children, family & friends. She loved fashion and dressed in a chic bohemian style. She loved Sóller, Majorca; she had an affinity for the place because she thought that Sóller could give her energy & peace.

She is dressed in the traditional Majorcan headdress-the payesa. This picture was probably taken when my parents took me to Majorca when I was turning 2 years old.

I miss her voice & her calmness & her laughter & her advice & her intuition...

Happy St. Valentine's!

Today I am cutting invitations for a wedding shower.

This card was done for last year's holiday at Heights Flower Shoppe.

Much going on...

Lately, I have been substituting at schools. I like doing this, specially at my son's school. It is also a nice little income to help out at home.
I am moving along contacting WBU stores, sending out flyer or PDf catalogue, but so far only one store has bought. I need 10 to 15 stores to carry my cards. There are over 200 stores nationwide.

I went to a COSE Leads group to check if it would be good for me. Not sure yet.
Last night I attended a talk at our NOIS meeting with Chris Morris, illustrator & art director for the Plain Dealer newspaper. He is very talented.www.chrismorrisillustration.com

I have been in contact with a fellow etsian that lives south of here. She made a crocheted baby booties (BOTINES) for my sister.
Her name is Ana and her shop is www.etsy.com/people/AMarteBaby
Got an order from etsy for my General Greeting cards--to a customer nearby!! I will meet her next week.
