Thank you and a freebie flower template (with png files & examples included)

I want to tell all of you thank you for the wonderful wishes you left me and my family. You’re so wonderful. You can’t imagine how wonderful it was to come home and read all those wonderful words.
I am home. I have to tell you I’ve discovered that when I’m upset I deal better when I can throw myself into designing. It helps a lot. I just came home and opened PS and started making things. I helped me to let my mind go to the memories of Josh. I remember that one time I wanted to take a picture of him. I told him to sit on some hay bales. He didn’t like how they poked his little lets so he’s holding up his little cute legs while still smiling from ear to ear for me. Oh that picture is still a favorite of his mom too. There was another time I went to visit them. While I was driving I saw him walking down the road (where he wasn’t supposed to be). I stopped the car and said “Josh, does your mom know where you’re at?” He said “No, but don’t tell her ok, cause she’ll get mad and I just wanted to play with my friends”. Of course I didn’t tell on him (of course I couldn’t. I’m the cool aunt) lol! We still won’t know what happened until next week. Right now they said that he fell asleep in a sitting position and that he must have suffocated or gotten sick and choked. They just don’t know yet. Whatever the reason, it’s so sad.

I wanted to share with you what I made while trying to relax tonight. I hope you like these and thank you all so much for your love. It was greatly appreciated and needed! You’re all so wonderful! HUGS!!! I will post some today and tomorrow and I will keep you posted. Thank you again for being there for me.

This first thing I made is a cala lily (I don’t know if that’s how you spell it). I made a template and some examples. I hope you like this freebie.

Hugs

    Thanks so much for this beautiful flower. I have some understanding of how sad this must be for you as I lost a niece and nephew, both to cystic fibrosis and so young. Remember, your little nephew will always live on in your wonderful warm memories. Wish I could give you a real hug, a virtual one just isn’t the same. BIG Hug.

  17. PeggyNC says:

    thank you JJ, for the beautiful calla lilies. I lost my oldest daughter to brain cancer 3 years ago on Valentine’s Day. It’s very hard, I miss her a great deal, but time has helped me learn to cope with it. Scrapping does help!

  18. Diane says:

    You are just unbelievably talented. The Calla Lillies are beautiful. I’m sure your nephew is looking down on you with a smile on his face because his aunt was such a good friend and supporter. You are so kind to share so many wonderful gifts with us, especially at a time like this. Prayers and hugs to you!

    Thank you! These are so beautiful! I hope the time tuned in to your creative side helped bring you some comfort. :-\ ~ Kiki

  20. I am so sorry for your loss. My niece lost her 16 year old daughter to Cystic Fibrosis and even though it was always a worry we still were not prepared when she went. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to not know what caused this. Our hearts go out to you and your family. May the Lord bring you comfort in this difficult time. Someone sent me this quote when I lost my youngest brother a few years ago. It has brought comfort and peace to my heart. I now keep it on my blog. I hope it will comfort you also.

    “Life is eternal,
    & love is immortal,
    & death is only a horizon…
    … a horizon is
    nothing save the
    limit of our sight.”
    ~R.W. Raymond

    “While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.”

    Hi Jen,

    Love the calla lillies and am going to do some in pink to go in charity kit I’m making for my SIL. Your memory of Josh on hay bales brought a smile to my face. I’m glad you have some lovely memories of him. This is a hard time for your family so still keeping you in thoughts and prayers.

    Hugs, SherryD
