Well, today you are in for a treat! The Fabulous Francie Holdren, aka "my dear friend" has been at it again! She cannot be at the Card Benefit for the Ronald McDonald House so she is donating cards. She told me to go through them and "toss the ones that aren't good enough!" AS IF THERE WOULD BE ANY NOT GOOD ENOUGH! AS IF I WOULD TOSS A HANDMADE CARD! Judge for yourself!
Is that crab the cutest thing ever? I will admit that I thought about keeping this and sending to my nephew, Braydon, for his birthday. HE WOULD LOVE THIS! The eyeballs just make it for me and the way she cut out the cloud and popped it on here is adorable. And as for the flower pot card -- this is what you call Clean and Simple -- Simply Adorable! I love these cards and all the others she donated. You're certain to see more of them as I busy myself getting ready for the event and classes and workshops I have upcoming. Not only is she a fabulous stamper, she is one of God's own children and it shows -- so unselfish and so supportive and loving to everyone. She is what I call "Good People" and I have so many stamping friends that fall into this category.
So, I haven't seen the Press Release in the paper and I really want to get the word out about this event to as many people as I can. I had some great ideas today which I will put into place, but they don't get cards made for my blog. Here's is one of the shameless bribes I put together yesterday to BEG people to come and help in our goal of 1,000 cards.
If these were any easier to create, it would be a crime to call them hand-made. The white behind the chocolate is a small flier plugging the event. I'm asking everyone I hand them out to if they aren't interested in crafting and helping, to please accept the chocolate as my bribe for them to pass the flier on to someone who might be interested in helping. Shameless? Yes. Results? Yes! It was created with the Petal Card Die and my Big Shot. I did 12 of them in about 20 minutes and used old ribbon I've been hanging onto. Do you get the idea I'm a hoarder? Someday you're going to see my horrified face on that hoarding show -- wait and see! Just so long as my hubby doesn't enter me on that show about being the worst cook on the planet...
So, I'm off to make more kits. I think Pat may be over to help again today and she just quietly works away (I almost feel guilty!) while I can't keep my mouth shut. It isn't often I allow anyone into my stamp room and I've sworn her to secrecy about where my stashes are stored.
And one more thing: Say a prayer today and in the upcoming days for Julie and her two children. She is facing surgery on August 4 to remove a mass in her brain and she's a single mom. Please say a prayer that this is a benign mass and that she receives complete healing. Please also pray that her children are comforted and that God grants this entire family peace in the upcoming months as they deal with this issue. Thanks bunches! Our God is a good God and He performs miracles today just as when He was walking this earth. His word is as alive today as when He said it and I know the power of praying His words back to Him. God Bless You and Yours!
