Keeping in Touch with Loved Ones

After signing up for the card making kit, I was nervous for the event. More specifically, I am the exact opposite of a creative person; I liked organization and structure. Seeing how I had to make a card from scratch was intimidating: I had been so used to buying the store-bought cards. Since the Chinese holiday of the Mooncake Festival (where family members gather together and admire the full, bright moon) is soon approaching, I decided to make a card to send to my family back home. I drew a moon cake, a common food item seen on the table to celebrate the holiday and one of my favorite treats is moon cake, as well as the bright, full moon in the front to show that we are all united and connected by seeing the same moon. I plan to write in the card and mail it just in time for the holiday! Another idea that came in my mind is making a card for my friend back home whose birthday is coming up. I drew a birthday cake in the front, balloons, confetti, and added some of the small flower decorations to the corners of the card for the final touch. The last card I got the chance make is for my relatives who live in Hong Kong. With a 12-hour time difference, it can be hard sometimes to find a convenient time to video chat with them. I plan on writing on my recent updates and ask how they are doing in this pandemic. Overall, I had a fun time making the cards with the lovely music provided by GRF Seema and realized that it is okay to have simple looking cards and that it is the thought and effort that really makes a card special.
