Did you notice my new card holder  in the last post?  I have been seeing these frogs being used as card holders on different sites and loved the idea.   I have been wanting some and knew right where I would get them.   While I was visiting my parents I asked my mother if she still had some and she was thrilled that I was interested in them.  My mother used to do a lot of flower arranging/Ikebana and bouquets and thought I might be taking up the art.   I hated to break it to her that it was for dispaying my cards and not  flower arranging.

 
Aren't they great?  I really like the way the oval one looks.  You know it has seen the bottom of many vases and held together many a flower arrangement.   Now they will have a new life holding my stamped cards and other paper creations.

Here's a quick card I made for one of the women in my group.  She has been working on growing her business and i wanted her to know that I noticed and appreciated her efforts.
