Lili of the Valley

Lets start this week out with a wonderful card using a fun stamp from Lili of the Valley. Isn't she adorable? This card is my orange special (even though I added a yellow butterfly). You can hardly see it here, but in orange chalk, the words "Celebrate Spring" are stamped on there. Ahhh, I almost feel like winter was spring and TX is fast approaching summer. I think I am getting a sunburn already being outside, but I still want to stop and smell those flowers.
Half the prizes from last week's blog candy have been mailed--Snoopy, Rhonda, and Angelicawa (Karissa)--your goodies are in the mail! The rest will go out soon...if you need to send me your address, htondre@aol.com You can see who won on Friday's posting to check if you were a winner!!

I was sitting in the back of church on Sunday because I was operating the computer (that projects the words onto the screen for the congregation) and had a church member come up to me right before service. Her eyes were a bit watery and she told me that she lost her son (in the mid 80s) because of his Epilepsy and seizures. That when she heard what was happening to me she prayed very much for me. I of course hugged her and thanked her dearly and let her know that I was doing wonderfully and just celebrated 2 years post surgery. I am so glad that people can see what happened to me and that medical technology is there and changing all the time and God gives miracles all the time.

Project Materials: Cardstock (Bazzill, Neenah); Rubber Stamps (Lili of the Valley; Saying-Queen Kat); Ink (Memento, Colorbox Chalk); Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilities); Ribbon (Doodlebug); Flower (Prima); Brad (Basic Grey); Butterfly (PrimaDoodles); Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue Dots, Glue All, Ribbon Glue); Color (Copic Markers);

A beautiful image and card. You are living proof of how far medicine has come. I know you would have been a huge inspiration to my husband's first wife who suffered with seizures a lot. (She passed away years ago from a heart attack.) It would be so nice if seizures were a thing of the past for all.
