A few weeks ago I sent this card to a lovely blog pal whose Mum had very sadly passed away suddenly. Many in Ireland have been grieving this week too by the heart-breaking tragedy for 13 young Irish students when a balcony collapsed in Berkeley California. Thinking of all the bereaved families as they fly home this evening and sending very best wishes and strength to those in hospital for fullest, speediest recovery.
Thank-you so much for taking the time.

Your card is stunning Nicola, it is always sad when someone passes away but I am sure the friendship conveyed by your card was very welcome. My heart and thoughts go out to the families of those young students involved in the terrible tragedy in Berkeley. Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteSo much tragedy all around - here in the United States right now our hearts are broken over the senseless killings in Charleston, South Carolina. My heart goes out to the families in Ireland that lost precious loved ones. Your card is a lovely tribute to so many right now. Beautifully made and so rich in color and texture!
