New cards for the 8th of March and the Kids' Fair

Hello, friends,

After quite a while I finally have a few cards to share. Our family is preparing for a trip to California in a few weeks. We will spend a month there. We'll continue to homeschool. My friend opens her home for us. So the kids will experience life in the USA. We will be blessed to visit with some of our friends whom we met in Russia. Some will fly to see us.

After an eye trauma my youngest son is forbidden to do any sports (at least for now). Now he is attending two choirs and enjoys singing. Recently his choir sang in a very special place in Philharmonia in the centre of St.Petersburg.

Fedor looks so happy. I appreciate how much the choir director does for the kids. So I have volunteered to make cards and tags to decorate the gifts the parents will give her and the piano accompanist. The occasion is the 8th of March, a holiday when women in Russia are acknowledged.

The watercolor paper was dipped in inks and water and dried a few times. Then I heat embossed the birds in white and bronze.

And these are some of the many simple cards I have made to sell at the Kids' Fair organized at the 3d Homeschooling conference in St.Petersburg early March. The kids will learn pricing and selling. They have made a bunch of cards to sell too.

Thank you for visiting!
