Sympathy Card Set

Happy April! We've had quite the weather here over the past few days. My city (and surrounding towns) were hit quite hard with an ice storm over the weekend. In fact, we're currently under a state of emergency. Things are slowly getting cleared up. Fortunately, our power has been restored but there are still some places with no power. We had a few branches down but no damage, unlike many others in the city. I had an appointment on Monday so had to go out and it was upsetting to see the damage to some cars and homes. No deaths and I haven't heard of any injuries either - so that's a huge blessing. "Stuff" can be replaced. 

In keeping with my Elton John-inspired challenge themes at Little Red Wagon this year, I've chosen "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" this week. Essentially, I'm looking for blue in your projects! I made a set of sympathy cards so I'd have some on hand when needed. The background mat is cut from blue vellum. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Design Team's fabulous creations! I'd love to see your "blues" project too! 

Here are a couple of photos of our back yard/garden from the weekend's ice storm. The first I took from under the gazebo and the second is from our veggie garden, looking to the back.
