Blue & Brown hello

I absolutely love brown, blue and paisleys, but this card didn't turn out quite the way I'd imagined it. I bought this stamp with my sister in mind. Her birthday was coming up, and when I saw this cute kitty I immediately thought of her and her love of cats.

So, I sent this card to her but with great apprehension. She has chosen to estrange herself from her family for what's been a long time now. I'm never sure if I should continue to send cards to her. Does she want them? Does me contacting her cause her pain? I actually cried the day I mailed it, not sure on how it would be received. I pray that it was received in the spirit I sent it in. Estrangement is a horrible, horrible thing. I live in a constant state of grief over the fact that my sister is missing from my life. I can only imagine the pain she must be in.

I'm sorry...that really had nothing to do with cards huh? That's the thing about cards though...for me they are all about emotion & feelings. I suppose that's why I like making them.
