I'm so sorry for your husband's friend. Your hand made card lets him know you care, and it's beautiful with the soft background and delicate sprigs. I'm also sorry to hear your package was a heartfelt gift from a blogging friend. I'm still puzzled over why your mail man put it in the trash bin. Ros, you had quite an invasive surgery and it will take time to fully recover.

A college football player from Washington State recently took his life. So baffling & sad. I have to say, this is one of the best sympathy cards I've ever seen, Ros--pinning it for future inspiration! Oh so sad that package is gone--how could the garbage men not tell it was new?! Have you seen the Gemini Jr die cutting machine? Have it on my wishlist if there's ever a big sale.
