Caroline, I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine your heartache. I am very happy that you shared this beautiful tribute plaque with all of us. It brought tears to my eyes. It is absolutely gorgeous and so full of love. Hugs to you and your family, my friend. I will keep you in my prayers.
Obviously reading all these wonderful & heartfelt comments from your sb.com family it was a wise choice to post this. You needed to see these loving words & know that people care. Losing someone you love takes the breath out of you & give yourself time to heal. You know my thoughts SC!:)
Oh SC how beautiful & I know your Mum & Dad loved it! Your mum has a special treasure from you. You did the right thing & I am glad to see you are sharing with others. The heart is awesome you will have to tell me how you made it!:))))
This is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! and I am so glad that you decided to share it with all of us! I am so so very sorry for your tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Hugs
Beautiful tribute to your dad with some great techniques - I'm so very sorry you have lost your dad - hope this canvas helped you go through the grieving process ~
Dear Caroline, This is such a beautiful and sweet card! I am SO GLAD you found the courage, through your grieving, to come here (SB.com) and open up a little 'window to your soul' and share this 'art treasure' with us. Though we are cyber friends, and far away, please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
The time to 'share' is when the time is right for YOU!:) Thank you~
We hope to see more when the time is again right for you~
Artists seem to have it "shut up in their bones!" -so to speak (to quote the prophet Jeremiah:) And sooner or later; it just spills over and we start creating again. It's therapy for some, a crack in the door of 'moving on' for others... But it's all good my friend~ Blessings to you, Karen
Oh Caroline, I feel so sad you lost your father not long ago. When I lost mine two years ago I just coudn't believe it after about a year ! So I feel how you must feel now. You make the most fun and beautiful things and always unsure about it. You should not be!! I am always afraid when I have to make something , untill I said to myself: do I make it for me or for the world? I hope you can enjoy christmas with your family , must be more difficult now, xoxo from Sitzerland Ohhh, almost forget to say I love what you made, very refreshing between all the christmas stuff!
You are showing that strength and courage which your dad must have inspired in you. I am so sorry for your loss. Your card is lovely. It has inspired me to try something similar.
My sincere sympathies go out to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. My heart goes out to you, my friend. This card is a wonderful and amazing tribute to him. thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Oh Gosh!! This is probably the hardest project I have shared... Why? It's a tribute to the most dear, sweet, kind, giving, loyal gentleman & gentle man - My Daddy! I took some persuading to even post here today. After all, when & where is the right time & place to get back in touch with 'Normal Life'? It is only 5 weeks and 1 day since my wonderful father died. Too soon? Is there ever a right time? My conclusion was to ask myself what he would have said & wanted. I know that he would want me to continue to craft and be happy, the latter being all he ever wanted for me. Happy isn't how I would describe myself right now but sharing here feels right as this is the last piece I made for him (& my dear mother), the last piece he saw. It was made for their anniversary which was Sept 3rd & miraculously I actually finished it in time! Daddy was a huge support to me in more ways than I could ever tell you. One was in my crafting, he always encouraged me as he knew it relieved me of quite a few demons. I have said before, this is a kind of therapy for me and so what is more fitting at this time than to at least share it. I haven't been able to actually make anything yet, however, mummy has asked me to do a box, especially to store all the amazing cards and letters we have received. So far I have only ordered the materials but I will do it, for both of them! Ok, I have no idea of the right thing at the mo' or what you all will think of this. Some will like that I have done it, others won't. I have learnt I cannot please everyone, all I can do now is what feels right and true. I may regret it as soon as I hit the submit button but that's just me!? My thanks to all of you who have been there, shown support, shared with me. A few of you even sent cards to me all the way to the UK? I still find it incredible how thoughtful that is. They will be forever treasured both physically and in my heart. The most touching act ever to befall me! I'll leave it there my friends. I wish you all a blessed & healthy festive period, wherever you are and whoever you are with! Take care. C x
