I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and thoughts on Thursday. As mentioned, funeral or memorial services are never a "fun" event to attend. I went to support my daughter and my ex husband. His father was very ill and although he had a medical directive requesting to be taken off of life support, it's not easy to let a loved one go. My prayers and thoughts continue for them during this difficult time.
As mentioned to me, life continues on even when others may not be by our side. We must be comforted in the thought that they are watching us and we will one day be reacquainted.
Now for my card because I don't want to be a downer.

Sorry you were bitten by a spider! No wonder this one scared you!

Gorgeous card! I am on the same page about the spider. I had one in my bed not that long ago and I was totally freaked out. Yuck!

Sorry to hear about the spider, they freaked me out too!
Thanks for playing along with us at CCCB! Good to have you here!
Gorgeous card. The bow is spectacular; love it!
I hope the spider is gone; I am not frightened by them but I can understand how you feel. Being bitten by a spider; ahhh. Not funny ; I would react the same if I was in your situation....
Enjoy your day!

Gorgeous card!!!I am the same way about Spiders as well.
Your card is absolutely fabulous!! I would definitely be afraid of said spider...esp. after your past experience! yikes!
Such a lovely card. Is that image of a woman someone you know or just a random web image? She is beautiful sitting in her chair. :)
I don't like spiders either. I don't blame you. Get some Ortho Home Defense. When we lived in Iowa we always had them in the basement. It rained a lot there and the basement is the perfrect hiding spot. Spray it inside and out like is says to. It works amazingly. Better than a professional spray.
Ohhhh Amy, what a gorgeous card!! LOVE IT!
{oh, and I'm totally with you on the creepy spiders thing... I act the same way when I see one!!!} Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, I always appreciate your comments :) Have a GREAT day!!
Very pretty card Amy! I'm not a spider fan either :(
Lovely vintage looking card ... Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB
Gorgeous card!! I agree with you on the spiders...blech!!!
Beautiful card Amy. I love the frame and the stitching! I'm with you on spiders, living in Florida, they can make you very ill and can even be deadly! When we first had our house built there was a "horse spider" that was carrying an egg sack, I didn't know what it was and swatted it with a rolled up newspaper, there were MILLIONS of babies EVERYWHERE. You never seen anyone move so fast to get the bug spray! How thoughtful of you to support your daughter and exhusband on the passing of his dad. Losing a loved one is never easy.
Spiders are a scary thing, with bites worse than a mosquito's (sometimes). So, I understand your fear!
Your card is a pretty vintage one; congrats on being mentioned as a fave!
eeeks!!!!I hate spiders to!!!Yuk......
Your card is `Gorgeous` Amy!!!

That card is so lovely. I'm glad you posted it After the spider story, or I'd still be shuddering! I wouldn't sit there, either. aack.
Beautiful card from a woman who has a beautiful and caring heart! I know your support was seen and appreciated. Stay strong and true to yourself! And as for the spiders, last week we had several make their way into my home only to pass out and die from heat exhaustion. Did I gross you out enough?! lol
