Tea and Sympathy

 

I've had to make a lot of sympathy cards this summer. A lot. Just this week, I mailed out six.

It's been a tough summer of loss for a lot of people I know.

I made this card for one of the women in my Coffee Lovers FB group who recently lost her husband.

I used some papers and elements from Simple Stories Vintage Cottage collection.

When I am having a tough week, I like to sit down and mail out cards. It cheers me up to know that I may cheer others up, too. So this week, I mailed out over two dozen cards. Birthday, sympathy, get well, thinking of you. Lots of occasions. It took a lot of time to sit down, write a note, address and stamp those envelopes, but in the end, it is so worth it. Reaching out is so important these days, and I had a lot of cards built up in my stash that needed to go off to good homes.
