I’ve been on nearly a 4 month hiatus. I unexpectedly lost my sister in October. Tami was the most amazing mother, daughter, sister, niece and friend anyone could ever ask for. This is the hardest thing ever and I miss her so much. I don’t know how to do life without a sister.
I am back with a new kit. Missing You is completely free and available to download on my blog. It includes full kit, 13 project life cards & 6 alphas. My hope is that it will help you preserve memories of your loved one or maybe journal about your grief.
Missing You is dedicated to my sister, cousin Misty Lynn, uncle Tim, my grandpa and all of you who have lost someone you love.
xoxo
Rhonda

I lost my only sister 4 years ago 3 days after Christmas. It was such a blow as she and my brother were the only true family I had left other than my two sons and grandchildren. We were scrappers together, we would communicated each morning thru Facebook since we lived far apart. She and I were looking forward to spending lots of time together scrapping as she was just learning how to at that time.
Thank you for the beautiful kit….memories is all we have and scrapping them brings us once again closer to each other. I pray it will ease some for you, but the facts is raw pain is always there just waiting for something to bring it to the surface. Cry til you make your self sick, tuck it away in your heart for another day. those happy beautiful moments will eventually replace some of the sadder ones. Bess you and your family ~ sisters in scrapping and sadness

My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear sister. I suddenly lost my brother in May, just 9 months after losing my Mom (and two dear friends). The pain is unbearable but I finally feel like I am rejoining life. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you so much for this beautiful kit made in your sister’s memory. I will use it in my Mom’s heritage album that I am working on and also in the sympathy cards that I make.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand as you go on your healing journey.

Thank you so much for the beautiful kit. I am truly sorry for the loss of your sister. Like many who commented, I too have lost my only sister. She has been gone a little over a year and a half and you are so right, it is extremely hard, especially when she was also your best friend as mine was. Many of the comments brought tears to my eyes. I’ve not been able to scrap about my sister, yet, but I think your kit might allow me to do that now. Thank you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What you just did is a most amazing thing. You used your craft to help you heal – and to help others heal as well. Relationships are very personal – so no one could know how much you miss your sister – but we get a glimpse of that in the love you put into this kit. Thank you. You have blessed me twice: a free gift and a way for me to scrap about the losses in my own life. Bless you!

I’m so very sorry for your loss and truly understand the depth of your emotion. I lost my 19 yr old sister when I was 16, and I lost my firstborn daughter when she was only 37. We must live on, though it is never as easy or as happy without them. We just have to remember that our own life is also a gift, we must try to live it the best we can. Much love and prayers to you and her family. Thank you for this gift of love.

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The reason for making it, how gorgeous it all looks, as well as (in my opinion) the way you are handling the situation by doing something so creative & thoughtful. I see you grieving in a positive way instead of continuously self-destructing forever as I’ve seen so many people do. Thank you for this post & freebie. I needed to see this right now. 🙂 Keep your head held high, my sincerest condolences Ms. Rhonda. <3 Have a blessed day.

Thank you so much for creating this amazing bundle – it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I imagine it was difficult to create – hopefully it was also healing for you. And that you’re giving it away – again, thank you so much. I wish for you a short time until the thought of your sister brings only a smile to your face, without tears. Just happiness, love, and peace.
