i need ideas asap today!!!!!!!!!!

23 years ago

This a.m., my neighbor asked me to do a card for her; she had an online friend who passed away, I believe yesterday or last night. She was killed by a drunk driver; leaving behind an 8 year old daughter, she was a single parent. Her family is going to have a keepsake box for her daughter. There are online friends that are making cards to put into the box for the little girl. I need some ideas for this one guys. I want to make it special. It breaks my heart. Thanks in advance. Blessings to all, Taunia.

How sad! :-(
That would be tough; I wouldn't know what to say! Seems you'd need to know a little something about the mother.

Maybe there is some kind of symbolism you could use... I'm drawing a blank right now, but you know what I mean, right?

Best wishes for your tough assignment!

Thanks, Lia. Someone suggested an angel collage. I'll keep that theme in mind. I need to make this by the end of today.

How about a rubber stamp of a cactus, embossed in silver, on a 1/4 page (like a postcard) You could copy & paste & do 4 on a page, so you would just do the printing of the names & information on the invite, run it through the printer; you'd only be printing 25 pages (x4=100) If you did this on heavy light grey cardstock, no need for anything else (maybe a piece of tissue paper over the printing inside the envy) How's that sound? If not, I'll put my thinking cap on!

If the wood looks good before you put the oil on, it will look good after you put the oil on.

I also like the white, but if you really want to have a contrasting color I'm picturing something the color of toast (yellow-gold-beige). I'm not familiar with Behr colors so I can't make an exact recommendation. As L.D. Johnson says, it does depend on what colors you have in rooms people can see when in this space.

Lovely house; I would start by removing the hanging baskets. They just block and darken the house. Find a rug with some pops of color that works with your house, and put a little seating area on the porch. Pull one of the bright rug colors onto the front door. Low plants along the front of the porch to keep the porch open and bright.

I think the angel theme sounds good and appropriate.

This is such a wonderful idea! Please suggest (to the neighbor) that as many as possible write about the mother and include as many pictures of the mother as possible including pictures of the mother when young. I lost my aunt several years ago, and am now helping one of my cousins collect pictures of her mother.
