George Washington was the 1st President of the United States
My birthday is February 22, which is George Washington's birthday. And I had a cherry birthday themed cake until at the age of 10 I begged my mother for ANYTHING other than cherries! I also had my birthday as a day off which meant that I didn't have to go to school on my birthday until the age of 12 but on January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which totally devastated me and I was sure I had jinxed the whole holiday/birthday combination since I had asked for no more cherry tree cakes! lol
A close up of the hand stitching and a confession, I hate my hand writing yet I love my hand writing when I stitch it....now does that make sense?

So cherries have a special meaning for me :)

I love your post and your card! That is so sweet that you had a cherry theme for years. The stitching is so fabulous (hooray for handstitching over handwriting!). Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog today...I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Happy Birthday now in case I forget next week to do it! Your stitching is terrific! At first glance, I thought it was a gel pen or something. So that's pretty darn good, lady! Adorable card!--Pat

Happy birthday to you! I enjoyed reading your story - especially with respect to George Washington. I call my youngest George Washington all the time... although I don't really know why. AND we're Canadian!
ReplyDeleteYour cherry card is wonderful and your hand-stitched sentiment is fabulous! I'm glad you've found a way to like your hand-writing!
