With Sympathy

We recently lost someone in our life and I found it extremely  difficult making a sympathy card while being so emotionally upset so I decided to start making some so if we need one it will already be made.

    It's a lovely card, and definitely a good idea to have some on hand. Unfortunately, these occasions spring up where a person needs one. Thanks for sharing this.

    This is so gorgeous, Carri! I have a hard time with sympathy cards, too. You hate to ever have to use them, but what a great idea to have some made in advance. Thanks so much for playing along with our Getting Cricky Simply Sunday challenge :)

    Beautiful sympathy card! I'm sorry to hear of your loss. How fitting that you used a butterfly on your card as they often symbolize the transformation of the soul from body to spirit, much like the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. <3 ((Hugs))
