The hardest cards to make.

On Wednesday, April 22nd, some of us were discussing on FB how hard it was to make condolence cards and some had mentioned they seemed to need more lately.  I suggested we could do a swap, and then we'd have some on hand.  I thought I could send 5 to one person, that person could send 5 to the next and so on.  There were about 4 of us, so this is what I have been making this week.

This first one I made a couple of months ago, but I had extras, so I included it in with this group.  I had this ribbon forever and used up the very last of it making these.  I thought it was nice for a condolence card, or even a friendship card.  The inside is blank.

And, it HAS been hard.  But I think these turned out nice enough to send out to a friend, and I have several on hand now in my card drawer.  If I'm lucky, I won't need any for a long time.  :)
