Merry Little Christmas - AHSC 394

 Hello! Back again with another Christmas card from the Comfort and Joy workshop I held and as I often do I used the AHSC sketches for my design inspiration for the workshop! 

I have really enjoyed working on the cards for this workshop as poinsettias were my mothers favourite flower. It was not Christmas until there is a poinsettia in the house for her and it continues with me, she just loved them so very much so I continue the tradition. I always remember one year when my oldest brother Rob was working part time in high school at a department store called Gemco and he had to work Christmas Eve and while he was at work for the closing shift we were all at my Aunt Barbara's house for Christmas festivities and when we got home out entire living and dining room was covered in poinsettias, they were beautiful and EVERYWHERE! When we left for my aunts house we only had one and now there were easily 20-30. My mom shrieked and my brother who was getting ready to go out with friends came running to see what the issue was and she asked where they all came from and my brother said that the managers said if anyone wanted any they could take them because on the 26th they would all be tossed as no one will want them after Christmas. Of course none of his friends wanted any but he made them help him load up his VW bug and bring them home for my mom and poinsettia bomb our house. It was magical and my mom was so happy. Every Christmas when I see a poinsettia I go right back to that night and it brings me happiness when I miss my mom the most! Anyhoots now that I am all teary....onto the project!
