Found this group of writers and wanted to respond. The things is I’m not a writer. Still the post inspired, so here we are.
Yesterday I learned a neighbor from my youth died. Her daughter was my sister’s best bud growing up. Theirs was the where the neighborhood gathered each Christmas for a caroling party.
Here’s my ‘card’ to the family.
While ‘Joy’ isn’t mentioned in the following layout, I thought it captured the idea beautifully. Thanks Elysah for permission to share your work.

Elysah made her page with Creativity Keys Too by 4OSAi @ Outside the Box Design Studio. My page is using 4OSAi’s forthcoming kit, Building Dreams.

Hi Susan,
I’m hopping over from the Imperfect Prose link up. Nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about the death of a childhood neighbor/friend. Joy can be found in the oddest places some times with God’s help, huh?
