Deepest Sorrow~

While I was away in Chicago having a wonderful time, my very good friend and neighbor, Kelly, received very unexpected and life changing news. Her father passed away, at much too young an age, and all alone in his home. My heart is so heavy for her and her family.

So hard to hear Val. Our neighbour just had a heart attack on Saturday, I saw him in the morning and the next thing you know he's in the hospital.

You've made a stunning card for her. The papers are such a beautiful pairing against the pretty flowers.

Such a lovely card and such a sad occasion. Sympathy cards are the hardest to do.

Sorry to hear of your friend's loss... such a heartbreaking thing to go through for her and the family. :( But you made a beautiful card, and I'm sure she will treasure it (like I do all the cards I've received from you!) :) Big HUGS!! To you and your friend.

Val, it was lovely meeting you at CHA last week. You are a gracious, gentle soul.

What sad news for your neighbour, and you have created a beautiful bit of comfort for her.

Sorry for your friends loss Val. Losing a parent is something that you never get over. I'm sure that this beautiful card will bring her comfort.

That is really tough with the loss of a loved one, but a very generous and loving card you made! The Curio Basic Grey Paper was the perfect choice of paper with those colors of joy in my opinion. You are a wonderful designer and I love your blog!
