Last night, when I should have been getting ready for bed, I was struck with the urge to make a card for my brother-in-law in New Jersey. I liked the previous Autumn card so much, and thought it would be nice for a guy, too. I added a a touch more to the border with some acorns. I do wish, though, that I didn’t have to rush these so.
My brother-in-law, Mr. Big Heart, has done so much for our family, and I wanted to give him a special ‘thank you’ to let him know how much he’s appreciated and thought of.
The weather is gorgeous here!! We went from the 80’s to 51 degrees in a flash. I love it! Most invigorating.
I’ll be posting a new sketch (or two-I hope) which I drew to illustrate a Halloween song I wrote a few years back, so stay tuned.
Thank you for visiting Leisure Lane. I send all of you love and good thoughts….and may “Sandy” keep the heck away from you!!
Until next time, may happy days abound!
Marianne

Who is Sandy? I must’ve missed something (or forgotten something). I couldn’t figure that one out. Help.
Anyway b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l cards (this one and the previous one). Wow.
I’m sorry to hear about your coworker being out. Tough for the both of you.
Take care! Hugs hugs hugs
