Deepest Sympathy

Happy Monday.  I hope you are all recovering from the long Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful weekend (five days off!) with lots of time with our family.  Perfect. I was having a laugh to myself on Saturday when my sister-in-law texted and asked how many people would be at our house. 35.  Thankfully Pat and I have a routine and everyone brings something so entertaining for 35 really isn't that big of a deal.  I love that everyone loves to be together. We are certainly blessed!

This card is for a dear friend of mine who lost her brother-in-law last week. He was put to rest on Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Gald to hear that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend Lynn--with 35, you gotta have a game plan but if you do it really doesn't seem like that much work! Beautiful sympathy card for your friend.

I would have a melt down with 35... but you're you and I'm sure you pulled it off with grace. Beautiful card, but thoughts to your friend.

That's a BIG group to host - nevermind FIT into the house!! It is lovely to be with family though and good that everyone helps out! A lovely design for a sympathy card.
