A "friend" on one of my Yahoo groups just lost her grandmother, so I wanted to send a note of sympathy. It's pretty simple, but I just wanted her to know I was thinking about her. I lost one of my grandmothers in 2005 and it still saddens me that she's no longer here for me to talk to, so I can imagine how my Yahoo friend feels.
Thanks for visiting.

I recently purchased the Papertrey Ink set With Sympathy strictly for the graphics. I absolutely love the huge vine stamp. When I received it, I actually thought to myself, boy I hope I don't need these sentiments. I mean, we all have people in our lives who lose loved ones, but you never WANT to make a sympathy card.
Well...a friend's father passed away last week. They sort of knew it was coming, and since he was in such extreme pain, perhaps it was for the best for him to pass. This weekend I made this card for her. It was the first card I made with this set. I took it to work today and asked the rest of my team to sign it and we gave it to her. Hopefully it lets her know we care!
