ANOTHER SYMPATHY CARD

Happy Sunday, all you beautiful bloggers!!!  I hope all's well as we come to the close of another weekend!  I don't want to sound as though I'm complaining, so I'll skip saying how I feel today and just keep everything happy!

Unfortunately, I'm sharing another sympathy card today.  I don't take a lot of pleasure in making these, but we all have to admit they are necessary.  Too, I'm hoping to inspire some who may have as much a difficult time coming up with ideas for these card as I do.  Besides, I'm keeping to my resolution to not run out of the "necessary" cards.  However, my next post will be something more cheerful and fun!!!  I promise!!!

Here's the card:


Here's a close-up:


Well, I'm off, back to my crafting table!!!

I'll be seeing you!

When I first started reading your post I thought you sound so cheerful I was hoping you were feeling better, but as I read on I decided you weren't feeling any better.. :-( I just got back from San Francisco I had to take Alex's girl friend to the airport.. she's going home (Kentucky) for about a week.

Oh these are such hard cards to make, but you did a beautiful job (as always) Audrey.. I so hope you are feeling better soon my friend. I need to start making the "necessary" cards too. BUT I so need to get my house cleaned up. hugs

Great minds think alike (gumball machine) lol.

Audrey your Sympathy card is beautiful - thanks for the idea because Sympathy cards are very hard for me to make - most of the time I would just buy one!!

Audrey, were you able to see the doctor? Sounds like you are not feeling better yet...I am so sorry. I am amazed you can still create all these beautiful cards when you are not feeling well. (This is something I am unable to do!)

You did a great job on this - I love it!!!! I hope you don't have to use it for a long long time!!!!

Hugs to you!

This card is beautiful. I have never made a sympathy card, as I find it very difficult to do. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

What an exquisite card. The care and love you put into this sympathy card shows. I'm sad you had to make it. Knowing how to make and what to say in a a sympathy card is one of the biggest challenges many crafters face. Thanks for the inspiration.
