Thursday was my brother’s wife’s birthday – and here is the card I made for her:
Card front
Card-inside
And today is my sister’s birthday. And while we, by mutual agreement, don’t do much for birthdays these days, I always want to do a little something anyway. To begin with, I made her this card:

 Card-Inside |
And to stay with the “theme,” I also got her this book – which has been on my “wish list” for several years; I figure if I get it for her, I will also be able to read it!
When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals, by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy:
From dancing squirrels to bashful gorillas to spiteful killer whales, Masson and coauthor Susan McCarthy bring forth fascinating anecdotes and illuminating insights that offer powerful proof of the existence of animal emotion. Chapters on love, joy, anger, fear, shame, compassion, and loneliness are framed by a provocative re-evaluation of how we treat animals, from hunting and eating them to scientific experimentation. Forming a complete and compelling picture of the inner lives of animals, When Elephants Weep assures that we will never look at animals in the same way again.
Happy birthday, ladies!
