About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Heartfelt Sympathy

Happy Friday!

I really really hate making sympathy cards.  So much so that I don't make them to keep them on hand.  I make them as needed.

My husband's best friend passed away on January 2nd after battling with a brain tumor for a few years.  He decided to quit with radiation and chemotherapy and a couple months later he went Home.  He left behind a wife and 2 sons (10 and 14).  He will be missed.

The stamps I used:
Unity:  Everything Wonderful (sentiment), Donna Downey's Insightful Meadows, and Donna Downey's Imagine It.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp multiple flowers and leaves to make the "bouquet" fuller.  I just love my Stamp-a-ma-jig  :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

    Gorgeous card. Sorry for the loss that you have had. I hate making them too but when I lost my sister and Dad within 3 weeks of each other, I was comforted with the cards that I got. You are doing a very kind gesture.

    So sorry to hear the sad news. I've know a number of people battling cancer the past year, and it's always sad and so hard on the family. Your card is so beautiful!! I love the soothing blue, and pray your friend's wife will be comforted in some way. Take care.
