Sympathy Gift

 Hello My Friends

There are no words I could speak that would ease the pain my friend feels at the loss of her son. But I remember from when my mother passed away, how much I wanted to say thank you to all who had comforted me and shared in my sorrow at the time. So I realized I could give my friend at least one gift.

I spent today creating a couple of dozen thank you cards for her. (Thank heavens for my Stamparatus!)   I will leave them in her mailbox tomorrow.  So that over these coming days, she has them handy for when she wants to let someone know she appreciates their support.  It is a little thing.  But the only thing I can offer right now (especially since in these COVID times I cannot even just go over there to comfort her in person!)

Forever Fern makes gorgeous cards.  And when the inside of the card coordinates with the outside, and both sides of the envelope have that extra bit of coordinating flair - well, I hope she knows that these were made with love for her.  Insufficient to even barely bandage the raw pain she must feel.  But at least it is something.

Take care my friends.  Enjoy the coming week.  And take every opportunity to smile and share laughter with those you care about.

God Bless you all,   Cynthia    <><

Laid Back Summertime Feeling.....

Hi Friends

I am soooo on holiday mode....
You know the feeling?  Laid back and operating in slow motion as though time itself had slowed down.  Great feeling.  Wonderful feeling.  Hardly productive though!

Believe it or not, I spent quite a while working on cards yesterday, but most of that time was spent working on my PhD.  You know....Projects Half Done.....so I don't have a mountain of new ideas to show you.  Yet.   But since you haven't seen this installment from my recent 20-card class I can show it to you.

The Flower Patch stamp set is one of those wonderful new sets that has a full set of framelits that coordinate with it.  I absolutely love that since the Flower Patch stamps are photopolymer, you can easily stamp AFTER cutting has been done.  That's what I did for my class....I had all the little coloured blooms pre-cut so everyone could just stamp the centre coloured bits afterwards.  And the leaves were easy enough to place as well since all the stamps and blocks are completely transparent!

And can I just say ..... this new cotton ribbon is an absolute pleasure to work with!  Really soft.  Not too fragile.  And gorgeous colours.  I am loving it!

We have a National Holiday here in Canada tomorrow.  July 1 is our official "birthday" celebration.  Sort of like the July 4 holiday in the US.  So for all my non-Canadian friends, have a wonderful rest of your day.  And for all my Canadian friends.....buckle up because the party is about to start!!!

Hope everyone is looking forward to a wonderful Canada Day!!
God Bless you and keep you safe.    ~Cynthia     <><
