Gosh this has been a sad week. We lost a wonderful friend very unexpectedly a few days ago and my aunt passed away last night. I was going to make my apologies and not come to this weeks teapary, but then I read the story and felt so bad for MaryÂ’s friend, Virginia. I remember the heart ache at loosing my older brother, I cannot begin to imagine the pain at loosing two brothers in a week.
It didn’t seem appropriate to make an over-the-top step card, so I have made a peaceful card with butterflies for Virginia. I miss- read the challenge translation – my brain remembered flowers, blue and butterflies. On checking a few details I discovered too late, that the flowers were supposed to be blue (not the paper). No cookies for me this week!! I am off to post this now, I suspect with Christmas mail it might take a bit longer than usual.
No funny story this week, just a wish that you and your loved ones stay safe and happy. Big hugs, Susie xxx

Oh Susie, I am so sorry for your losses too. (hug)
You have made such a gorgeous card! I LOVE the beautiful die cut tree with all the pretty little butterflies visiting! I LOVE the fabulous tiny flowers with the bits of color and tiny pearls! Your choice of background paper is divine! Everything is so peaceful and lovely! For sure in my favorites for the year! Prayers for you and your family and one more (hug).

Oh, I think I missed this before. I'm so sorry to hear about your own loss Susie! Gosh, we ought to be sending you cards as well!! I'm glad you still made a card because it is extra beautiful...I think it was coming from the heart more than usual considering your own loss. I love your card!
