I have 2 beautiful grown children and 2 step grandsons, but there is nothing "Step" about them for me..They are my "grandsons". My children ( I think all children) are a gift from God..I know mine are. I always tell young moms to ENJOY every moment, from the tantrums from babies through teenagers, though that can get hard. Time goes so fast and then they go to have families of their own..I became disabled 18 yrs ago and if it weren't for other crafter's, card makers, I don't know what I would have done.Making cards and creating is my Peace. I cannot thank you enough, Marika..Your a very Talented young woman..blessings, Victoria ps~I miss my mother and I talking and laughing so hard about something...My father passed when he had just turned 48, I miss everything about him. I miss them, terribly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372512236671852125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652304660479648034.post-47970851241304252932016-03-15T06:30:22.227+02:002016-03-15T06:30:22.227+02:00Thank you for this chance!

I also like the concept of remaking one's own card design. My cards are always improved the second time around. I have been following Marika for some time now and have learned so much from her beautiful work. It would be my pleasure to have one of her cards to frame and hang in my stamping studio.Louise Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070782964220979710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652304660479648034.post-68519240370886429662016-03-09T19:26:38.595+02:002016-03-09T19:26:38.595+02:00Marika is so very talented...I love her work!

My favorite moment was my mom walking me down the aisle and having a mother/daughter dance at my wedding. We argued, she wanted an uncle to walk with me. I was raised by a single mom, she had to be mom and dad and I didn't think anyone but her deserved that honor. She was the first person to kiss me when she raised my veil and the first person to kiss me as i walked back down the aisle as a married woman. She passed away about two years now and I'm so thankful I have so many wonderful memories of her, she was my biggest cheerleader and best friend.

Fabulous idea of a remake, Maria! <br />Oh, my Mom, now that is hard. She's no longer with me, but even after 20 years I still reach for the phone to share some news, have a chat, ask for cooking instructions, or just to hear her wonderful voice, and joyful laugh! I am her last, and ninth child. Once in a store, a lady remarked about my green eyes. She asked me 'where did you get those lovely green eyes?!' I replied, with the innocence of a four year old: 'my mom says I got them from the milkman.' Out of the mouths of babes - my mom could not help but laugh at the look of shock on this total strangers face!!! Maria, you've made me smile - again!

Her work is more than "crafting", she is truly an artist!<br />Its hard for me to choose just one memory with my Mom. She had 8 children and there were a LOT of memories. I guess my fav. would be all of the evenings we spent playing double Solitaire. We would laugh the whole time!Teresa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711001591787075268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652304660479648034.post-14870662290625768482016-03-09T14:11:07.719+02:002016-03-09T14:11:07.719+02:00Love Marika's cards, and love how she remade t...Love Marika's cards, and love how she remade this one. One of my favorite memories with my mom is from Christmas, a very long time ago. Mother has always wrapped Christmas presents in whatever she has on hand, to keep the person guessing. One year she bought me a t-shirt. (I won't say who was on the t-shirt, because I doubt most readers would know him, and those that do will easily guess my age.. haha) However, she had shoved it inside a paper towel roll, then managed to wrap that, and I was completely confused as to what she could have bought me. I was also very thrilled when I finally got to open it. ^_^ Love my mom! 💗💗💗 Thank you for such a fun giveaway. I couldn't think of a better prize.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972647703360574130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652304660479648034.post-73477355522111710992016-03-09T12:21:39.613+02:002016-03-09T12:21:39.613+02:00The day I discovered Marika's blog was such a ...The day I discovered Marika's blog was such a joy, I sat there in amazement, mesmerized by her stunning, remarkable talent.

I always recognise her cards before I see her name, her style is so 'her'. Adore the remake as I adore the original.<br />A special moment with my mum is laying in bed when I am visiting and having her come in for a cuddle. Mum has Alzehimers and now I am more the mum but we have some wonderful little chats in the wee hours of the morning.
