I Have been MIA

Hi everyone.  I have been away for a week now to be with my Dad who had been in Grace Palliative Hospice for the past month.
It hurts me to say he passed away Tuesday August 24th.
I have a hole in my heart right now the hurts so much...he was my "rock"....he meant the world to me.  Right now I just feel so lost...........


This is one of my favorite pictures of him and I taken in 1959.

I miss you so much Dad.........I will always carry you in my heart.
Love
Your Daughter

I used Printmaster Express to print the flowers in colors.  The balloons I coated with clear nail polish.  I like it better than Diamond glaze.  It goes on smoother.
Now go to the Squigglefly Blog to see what Maria’s team have created.
Have a great week everyone!
