Craft-Dee BowZ is having a blog hop! One you won't want to miss....
Our April Blog Hop theme is "Sympathy".
No one enjoys sending sympathy cards, but it's important to send thoughts of sympathy and support to family and friends during their time of sorrow. Simply stated and tasteful are the best traits to go for when creating a sympathy card. Subtle colors and embellishments are the norm. You want the main focus of the card to be the thoughts you are expressing to the person that has lost a loved one. I like to leave the inside blank and write a personal message to the recipient(s) of the card.
