OWH Sketch Challenge #152



This week's sketch challenge over at Operation Write Home looks like this:


152

Here is my version:



Fiskars sentiments, scrap paper, Sizzix texture plate.

I have missed the past few challenges and throw downs.  My darling mother died on December 14, after a 3 month fight against Cushing's Disease.   She inspired my serial crafting, and supported my habits through her garage sale and thrift store finds.  She was the only parent I had, and I will miss her terribly. I will honor her by continuing to create and give - as she did until the end.

    Bobbi, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. How sweet you are honoring your mom through your creations; it will bring you comfort over the upcoming days and months. My Dad has been gone just over 8 years and I miss him daily but the pain is not as sharp. I pray that your pain will ease soon. Your card is a wonderful tribute to your mom- beautiful sentiment and I really like your paper choices. Take care of yourself, Diane
