Santa Edwin, 2010
Edwin is floating on acetate

My first thought was to make a card with the flower Edelweiss, but I  don't have a stamp with this little pretty/ugly flower.
On my desk was a stamp from Magnolia! Edwin as Santa - I had to make a card with him. Edwin looks a little worried - maybe he's thinking about whether he'll be able to buy all the Christmas presents on the list in time.

The day Lars and I had been engaged for 2 weeks, he gave me a piece of jewelry that had belonged to his late mother: an edelweiss!

The brooch/necklace that had belonged to Lars' mother.

At the time, Lars did not know that Edelwies was a flower that I have always felt drawn to. My grandmother had a collection of dried flowers - among which there were also some edelwies. As a child I sang in a school choir. The year Sound of Music was published, of course the choir sang Edelwies at the year's Christmas concert.

 Bogstavet for dag 6, i Beccys måned af Højtids -kortudfordring, er "E"

Min første tanke var at lave et kort med blomsten Edelweiss, men jeg har ikke et stempel med denne lille smukke/grimme blomst.

På mit skrivebord lå et stempel fra Magnolia! Edwin som julemand – jeg besluttede lave et kort med ham. Edwin ser lidt bekymret ud – måske tænker han på, om han når at få købt alle julegaverne på listen i tide.

Den dag Lars og jeg havde været forlovet i 2 uger, gav han mig et smykke som havde tilhørt hans afdøde mor: en edelweis!

Den gang vidste Lars ikke, at Edelwies var en blomst som jeg altid har følt mig draget til. Min farmor havde en samling af tørredeblomster - hvor i blandt der også var nogle edelwies. Som lille sang jeg i et skolekor.  Det år Sound of Music udkom, sang koret selvfølgelig Edelwies til årets julekonceret.
