Angel Wishes by Conie Fong

Hi!  I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day.  My older son, who lives close to me, surprised me by coming to my apartment equipped with all the ingredients necessary to make goulash.  He is quite the cook and the dinner was truly delicious.  I was so touched by his thoughtful gesture! 

Today, I am happy to share my DT card featuring the super sweet image "Angel Wishes" by Conie Fong.  This endearing image comes with the little angel facing left and right, and is found in Conie's etsy shop here:
