I'm here for you....

Hello! I hope you're having a great day. It's gloomy and rainy here in TN...just like I love it. I have always been fond of the rain. I love to sleep while it's raining, read while it's raining, too. Such a calming sound.

Anyway, I made this card for my (step) daughter, Alex. She's having a rough time and really misses her mom (she's staying the summer with us) and last night I found her sitting downstairs crying. I felt so bad for her. I've got a degree in Social Work, but I am NO counselor. I just felt paralyzed trying to comfort her. I am MUCH better comforting people in writing..so that's what I did. I ran upstairs and made this little card and left it for her to find this morning. I hope she likes it and realizes how much I love her. :o)




The patterned paper is from a pack of DCWV that I bought at Joann. The *gritty* circles are actually glittery (not sure if that comes across on the computer), and I just love it. It's funny how much patterned paper I have. I was looking in the SU catalog last night and was about to order more and then realized that I had just ordered some last Friday. Wow. It's a sickness...lol.

Well, that's it for today. Hope you guys are all having a wonderful week so far! Thanks for stopping by...

Beautiful card!! Alex is lucky to have such a caring stepmom. And Keva, you can never have too much patterned paper.

What a sweet card, Keva! And what a sweet stepmom you are! I hope this card put a smile on Alex's face!

Keva: I think sharing your story made this card extra special. Love the card and the story that came along with it.

Awww, I'm sorry that she's having a rough time of it, but this card is so sweet! I bet it cheered her up!
