The card-making event was an incredible one. Semma Singh welcomed us while I got all set up. I wasn’t sure what I was going to make, but a girl mentioned that she was making a card for her mom’s birthday. I then got a pang of homesickness and decided to make cards to send home to my family. It felt really good getting something together to send home to show my family I miss and appreciate them. I realized how long it’s been since I have worked with my hands and done something fun like arts and crafts. And it was extra nice since there has been so much screen time I could just center myself on this art project. I had owl prints in my bag so I decided to make owl-themed cards with owl puns on them. I’ve been so caught up in schoolwork and everything so my communication back home hasn’t been the best. The jazz music played and I just let myself enjoy using colorful markers while I write an update to my family about my life. I’m excited for them to know that I am thinking of them with this homemade card. Overall a wholesome experience.
