Missing my best friend



As many of you know my best friend in Colorado is fighting a grueling battle with cancer. This is her second go round and I can't make heads or tails of it one way or the other if she is winning or losing. Her 38th birthday will be the 24th of this month so I made her this card.
The picture of the candle is a gift for her. She asked me before I went to Germany to bring her back an awesome gift. Well I looked around at all of the baubles and trinkets and couldn't find anything that would fit the bill it all seemed so meaningless and pointless. Then on the third day of our journey we went into this church and immediately I knew what had to be done. I realized that now was the time to have a "Come to Jesus" moment. You could feel the centuries of prayers that had been spoken in this awesome and ominous church. I kneeled and prayed that day for her to have a peaceful painfree easing into God's will for her.
Due to some circumstances going on around me later I feel the need to let her know that we love her so much and are sending out all the love and prayers we can..
Enough boo-hoo these are the gifts and cards that I am sending for her birthday. I used the stencil for the flower, the color combo is ruby red, more mustard, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, and kiwi kiss. The stamp set that I used was the Vintage Vogue in the new clear stamps.
