             These two little cards,  one for my sister and one for my niece. To say thank you for the lovely and wonderful days.

My friend Vera is full of life and energy, she is a happy and positive woman. Vera is an extraordinary woman covered with tattoos and very long black hair. We have a long history together, since her little boy and girl and my daughter went to the same  daycare. I celebrated  her two marriages and saw her divorcing twice.   I was at her graduation, -she studied while she was in her first divorce I  helped her write her first job application. Moving all over Holland, thanks to  you Vera I saw all kind cities and villages. We are so different from each other and through all these years we never lost touch and  and that's why I made this for you. Thank you for our friendship. I am for sure this cushion gets a prominent place in your living.
