Hello my crafty friends, were has this week gone?! I swear it was just Monday and now here it is Friday already. Looking forward to this afternoon as our granddaughter is coming over to spend the night. We just love it when the grands come and stay!
I have copied and pasted a post from Designing Keepsakes by a fellow blogger Donna H. I'm doing my part in passing this message on. If you feel like you would like to help out contact the email link below. If a card can bring joy and comfort to a sick person, then I feel like I have to send one. Thank you everyone in advance!!

Hello, dear blogging friends.
One of our blogging-paper-crafting-
Her sister, Edith, fell on June 22, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. On June 25, the tumor was successfully removed. However, the biopsy brought back devastating news - a fast growing Brain Cancer. Sue's sister is determined to fight this all the way. She began physical rehabilitation on July 4.
Sue and Edith both live in the North East (USA). Sue and her husband transport Edith's husband to the hospital each day and check up on changes and quality of care.
While Sue did not ask for help, others kept in touch with her and asked if Edith would enjoy receiving cards of encouragement and support.
Sue was so grateful that the on-line community might help in this way - it was something she had not considered.
Edith enjoys quilting and LOVES flowers! Edith's beloved fur baby is a little pug and they miss each other very much.
Will you please consider sending a note, tag, or card (or two or three?) offering encouragement? Edith valiantly fights other illnesses in addition to this new challenge. She is a very courageous soul.
Cards can be sent addressed to Edith c/o Sue Drees and she will take them daily to the hospital.
To obtain the mailing address, please write:
Thank you for making a difference in one person's life, by bringing in a little sunshine.
For my card, I used MCT stamps and dies. I did my water color stamping using Hero Arts Shadow inks, I embossed "thinking" with black embossing powder. I inked my die cut circle with "Mint Julep" shadow ink then place my butterfly from Renea Bouquets. Her butterflies are amazing, they are hand made and the details on them are amazing and so beautiful. She has other things in her store and trust me you will want to order a few times, if not all the time!! And her prices are so affordable-you will be completely amazed by her store and her prices. Then I stamped my little butterfly "trail". Added a few sequins and this was done.
A close up of the butterfly-so gorgeous!
The inside, used the water color stamp again.
I hope you like my little card, mostly I hope that Edith like my card and that it brings her some comfort and joy in this time. Thank you for stopping by today, I love when you visit me and leave me the sweet comments that you do! Have a wonderful weekend. Crafty hugs, Brenda
