Season’s Greetings

Veronica Mahara

Hello Everyone,

It’s been awhile since I posted. Life is busy for us all now that we are able to get back to some resemblance of normal. I’m so looking forward to this holiday season. Thanksgiving is coming up in our country and it will feel good to get together with family and friends. I’ll be preparing to bring to my daughter’s home the usual — stuffing and pies. The stuffing recipe is my Dad’s and is his version of an English recipe. It includes potatoes with the bread cubes, onions and celery and a good amount of poultry seasoning. Everyone loves it.

I’m in the middle of writing my fourth book. It takes a character from Sacred Terrain, the second in my Traveled Hearts series. Jane Cabot is her name and if you’ve read the book you know she has her eyes on Caleb. Caleb is true to Jessica even though she hasn’t been found yet. Everyone is losing hope except Caleb, but Jane is a tempting diversion.

As a character I found her so interesting but had to cut most of her life out as it didn’t pertain to the story at hand. I’m having a great time writing this and can’t wait to come to the part where she meets Caleb and we get to experience her side of that episode. For the most part it will be about her life as a wealthy woman losing what she thought was valuable to find something more real and lasting. Look for it in 2022/23.

Loads of card making. Love this hobby and all that goes with it. Still watercoloring and teaching my grandchildren art once a week. My love for reading takes its place at night cozied up to my husband who reads also. I just finished the second book in a series by Susie Murphey. A Matter of Class and A Class Entwined. If you’re looking for some good historical fiction with heart this series fits the bill. A page turner.

Until next time– Have a wonderful day (or night depending on where you are)

Peace and Love,

Veronica

A Spot of Tea

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.

I wanted to share more cards with you since that is what I’ve been doing lately. Since the third book of my Traveled Heart Series -Unending Trails – has launched I’m taking a slight breather from writing.

If you have any questions on the supplies and techniques I use to make my cards feel free to ask in the comments.

Have a creative day,

Peace and Love,

Veronica

Hello Everyone,

A little over a year ago I discovered the art of making cards. It’s added so much to my artistic life and I love it! I’m totally hooked!

There was a bit of a learning curve and some investment in the way of tools and such, but little by little I have accumulated most everything I need, but there are so many beautiful stamps and dies and paper out there it’s hard to resist. The designers are really talented.

I send my cards to organizations who then distribute them to nursing homes, shelters, and hospitals.

I look forward to sharing my cards with you and some of the process. To be honest, some of my favorite cards were the result of a mistake I made or a smudge or whatever that messed up my original design.

Here are a few of several cards I will send to Altenew (a card supply company) for their parent’s day card drive. They will send cards to seniors in nursing homes, shelters and where ever a little cheer is needed for mothers and fathers.

If you have any questions about how I put any of my cards together, feel free to ask me in the comments.

Peace and Love,

Veronica
