Hello Friends!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I certainly did – we had some beautiful sunshine in Eastern Washington, a great visit with family, and enjoyed the wedding that we went there to attend. The bride was gorgeous!
I thought I’d pop in and share a sympathy card that I created for a friend who recently lost her husband. We’ve all been friends since college . . . he was an amazing friend, and we will miss him desperately. Sadly I’ve needed several sympathy cards recently, so this design has been duplicated multiple times in the last few weeks – now I just need to get them in the mail. I was inspired by a card that I saw on Lime Doodle’s blog HERE. I changed up the color palette a bit, as well as a few other details, but the bulk of the design is Debby’s. Why mess with perfection, right?!
