I'm going to be making cards
for hospice. They send cards
to people who have lost loved
ones (this seems very familiar, hope
I haven't already talked about it!)
for a year after the death. So tomorrow
I will go sign a privacy paper and get
some names, I guess. The thing
is, I'm a little concerned because the
ladies all get together and make cards
and that's just not how I work.
I don't have a clue what to take
with me to make cards. I try this
and that before I finally come up with a
card I (usually) like. I would have
to take my whole craft room with
me. The cards that I have seen
from the other volunteers are very simple.
Not that they aren't lovely, I don't mean
that. What I mean is that they don't
have layers and mats like I use on my
cards. So I'm not sure how that's going
to work out. I will visit with them for a bit,
I guess and then beg off and go home
because I have an old dog
who needs to go out a lot. I did
manage to find some doggie diapers finally,
though, so I'm glad about that.
Anyway, a card I threw together
this afternoon and I hate it. It doesn't
look anything like how I had it
in my mind. That happens sometimes.
The colours don't even go together.
I should have used a different
colour flower. I may take it off
and put something better there.
Something that matches...
I think the 'hospice' group will be fun?! You'll have an opportunity to meet some new friends. I'm quite sure that any card you make will be beautiful! I agree, that the above card needs a different color flower -- maybe pink or purple?
