Please allow me to introduce you to Carmen, the Ultimate Stop and Dropper!
Carmen is a dear friend and subscriber of The Painted Artichoke.
Not only is she the Ultimate Stop and Dropper,
but she is also fun, funny, incredibly smart, and kind!
Carmen has been creating cards for about three years now and was inspired by her mom, Frances.
Frances was thoughtful in sending cards to family and friends and wrote beautiful thank you notes.
(I was fortunate to be the recipient of one or two to those thank you notes…)
After her mom passed away, Carmen felt moved to continue this deliberate and gracious tradition,
but has taken it a step further ~ 600 steps further, in fact!
Carmen began an incredible and generous endeavor and began crafting her own cards. Initially, she was embellishing the inside of store-bought cards, when a friend of Frances’ introduced Carmen
to card making. As they say, the rest is history!
Carmen still purchases an occasional card but prefers crafting her own.
The small task of continuing her mom’s legacy has grown into an
impressive effort!
Carmen now creates and shares approximately 600 cards
to family and friends each year.
Remarkable!
