This is for today's sketch challenge...a really easy and pretty sketch, I think. Thanks again, Roxie.
I needed some sympathy cards. We lost two friends of the family over fall break. One, a preacher's wife and friend who had been battling breast cancer. And two, a father who was caught by a rip tide and drowned while on vacation in Florida. Both of these were awesome people.
Even as I am sad and will miss them, I am reminded to be thankful for another day of life. I am thankful for my family and friends. I am thankful to be able to enjoy making cards and sharing with you, my SCS friends, too. TFL

Love how you did the leaves on the trees and the great background panels.

It is a sad thing to have one wonderful person absent, but two, I can't even imagine. Your beautifully handcrafted expression will pass on the sentiment of how deeply you care. I perused your gallery the other day and added it to my favorites sidebar. It was such a pleasure to have a visual on your crafting journey. I love your style.
