Feels like the frozen tundra

Okay, I'm tired of winter and these below freezing temps. And we aren't getting the worst that some states are getting with lots of snow and ice along with freezing temps. I hope everyone is staying inside and cozy warm. 

My friend lost her great granddaughter a minute after she was born. It is so heartbreaking when everything went so well all along. I made this card for her by stamping on the back of a panel of vellum and adding it to a card base. Then stamped the sentiment on the front of the vellum. Very simple, but so heartfelt.

A book fell and hit my head. I only have my shelf to blame.




Be kind to one another.
