Cute Thank you Owl!!

Hello dear friends,

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! I had a pretty busy weekend.  My weekend first started with an all day attendance at the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim.   I didn't go overboard on my shopping and was able to stick to my budget LOL! Can you believe I actually had money left over I know {gasp} right!!! My sister and I got home around 8:30pm and headed to diner with family. I then had to make 10 cards for our Stampin' Up! Demo meeting in Valencia for Sunday, which my friend Rose and I drove to together!! We could only use the products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog for the cards. Thanks Rose for driving:) This is the card I made for our card swap at the SU demo meeting!  OK now for my card. I've been using the CRIMPER from Stampin' Up! on cards.  I would mostly use it to make crimped string for boxes or goodie bags I now have another use for it Yippee!!  I hope this card inspires you to get that CRIMPER out and use it on your cards other than strings!!  Enjoy and thank you for stopping by till next time!!       ***Hugs***

For Aidan!!!

A Baby in Need of Smiles - Please Help Little Aidan

Tanya from Scrappin KY Momma needs help from all of us crafters. She knows this little boy and his family and would like to send him cards. Here's his story...

Aidan is a sweet lil 2 year old who was recently diagnosed with T Cell Leukemia. On Wednesday, he had a port installed in his chest, spinal tap, bone marrow, and chemo in his spine. He did GREAT! This lil guy is such a trooper. His parents have accepted that their BABY has Leukemia.. NOT the easiest thing to accept, but their faith in God and their support system have kept them going. T-Cell Leukemia has a high cure rate although chemo will be continued for quite a while. Lil Aidan LOVES mail, like any 2 year old does. So....

Let's get our crafting supplies out and send this lil guy some LOVE!!! Pass this on to all your crafty friends. I think we can all take a couple minutes and make something special for him that will bring LOTS of smiles and he can look at over and over. We all know how laughing and smiling can be good for the soul. Let's give him this much for him to enjoy while he's battling this horrible disease. I have no doubt in my mind that God can perform a miracle in this beautiful child. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.Lets all come together and put Lots of BIG Smiles on Aidan's and his parents faces.

You can mail your cards to:
