Last evening while in Bermuda, a friend's husband told her he didn't feel well and within seconds he had slumped over onto her lifeless. Though we in her circle of friends and family are shocked we can't fathom her pain and loss. She can't get a flight out until Saturday so I decided to make her a card to be waiting for her in the mailbox when she arrives. Her name is Peggy - and I'm sure she'd appreciate every prayer breathed on her behalf.
It just reminds you to:
1. always tell those close to you how much you care, and
2. live life to the fullest because you never know what breath will be your last
I combined 2 challenges I had printed out. One was making a 4x8 card with limited supplies while the other was a color combo of guava, blush, and gray.
