Another week has ended! Time seems to go
by so much faster when you are older. We had a busy day today; running errands;
getting an hour’s walk in; getting groceries. Tired.
I seem to make a lot of sympathy cards.
Unfortunately it is the one type of card that is sent the most often. My own
brother-in-law has had another major stroke and is not expected to recover from
this one. He is 87 and has been in a nursing home for a couple of years and has
told his family many times that he is ready to leave. So, he has been on my
mind of course so I made this card.
This was a very quick card to make. I
found this dark blue paper in the stash and paired it with the light marbled
greyish/purple paper which I die cut to fit on top; but off-sided.
Then
I used a left over piece to stamp and emboss the sentiment on it and glued it
across. Then a paper flower (Dollar store find) was added. I like how it turned
out…simple but nice.
That’s all for a cold Friday, January
11, 2019. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. I’ll be back on Monday with
another post.
Cheers
Violet
Violet i'am so sorry to hear about your Brother in Law. For years i had a dear older friend and although she never said it out loud i think once her husband passed she had no reason to live. She was tired. She lost interest in anything she used to like to do. I feel for him and for you.
ReplyDeleteI just love this simple card Violet. Sometimes simple is just perfect.
Cold here too.. Rainy but not quite cold enough for snow or ice.. Probably a blessing since i must drive to work in the morning.. Try to stay warm. Hugs! deb
