Heartfelt Sympathy
Good morning dear friends. I am posting this card with a heavy heart. A very dear friend lost her husband a couple of days ago. I know there is no good time to lose a loved one but there is much at Christmas to bring back the sad memories, eg hearing Christmas carols, writing Christmas cards to name but two. I know this from experience because I lost my darling dad on Christmas Day and then my mum, who I can honestly say truly was my best friend, only a couple of weeks before Christmas a few years later. But I cannot conceive of losing my soul mate, although I know there are some amongst you who have gone through this.
Anyway, I couldn't really get my head round making a card so I stole the card I made the other day for John and just made a few changes, adding an appropriate verse. I used Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles, Marvellous Squares and Diamond Strips and Accents. The striped organza ribbon was from my stash, the silk cala lily from Hobbycraft, and the grey pearls, which toned so beautifully, were from the candy I won from Patricia.
Well, I'm off to do my food shopping today and that's it - all ready. And if I forget anything well that's just too bad! We'll do without.
Have a good day everybody. Love and hugs from Christine x
