It Is Finished Designs : February 2022

I've been MIA from making cards and from life for a few months as I have been dealing with the death of my husband. He died January 12th and it's just been now that I felt like I could get back to some sort of normality. I didn't think it would hit me so hard as we have been pretty much room mates and estranged for many years now. But I guess when you've been together for 33 years there's more of a bond than I thought. Through all of this I also have a new found admiration and respect for him that I didn't have before.

He was in the Navy for 8 yrs and a Vietnam vet and with the help of customers of mine who are 2 retired Navy captains, I found he had several medals, ribbons and awards that I didn't know he had and quite a career while he was in. One incident being the ship he was on was one of the ships that helped in the evacuation of Saigon. So quite deserving of the military honors he recieved. I also found out from 3 nephew and nieces that he was thier favorite uncle, not to mention the love of our sons and his brothers and sisters, one being a twin brother.

He was also a believer in Jesus so I know where he is now and that he is no longer in anymore excrutiating pain and enjoying the wonders of heaven in his glorified body! Hallelujah!

I started making this card over a year ago but never finished it till now.

It's mostly made with Anna Griffin's Twist and Pop card kit and a few other stamps and embellishments in my stash.
