Bereavement

Uncategorized

7 Oct

Hello, Crafters.

I’m sorry but I don’t have a card for today. We had a bereavement in our family on Friday and its affecting me more than I would have imagined. Late yesterday afternoon, I heard that the father of a dear friend of mine has passed away too.

I’m doing what I know you’ll be saying to me and I’m giving myself some time. God willing, I’ll come bouncing back in next to no time and you won’t have had time to miss me.

Please take care and stay safe.

JanB. xx

    je suis désolée et je comprends très bien ce que ce décès peut provoquer comme désagréments et ce que cela fait au moral
    bon courage pour la suite et à très bientôt
    au fait je vous l’ai jamais dit jusque maintenant mais j’admire beaucoup vos cartes et m’en inspire mais je ne sais pas mettre ce que je fais sur ordinateur donc je ne peux malheureusement pas avoir votre avis sur mes créations. Les vôtres sont si belles que les miennes ne comptent pas
    merci pour ces cadeaux que vous nous faites en postant vos cartes
    encore une fois bon courage et à très bientôt
    protégez vous et prenez soins des vôtres

J’espère que vous pourrez trouver quelqu’un qui pourra vous montrer comment utiliser votre téléphone mobile comme appareil photo et partager vos cartes sur Facebook ou me les envoyer par e-mail.
