Day Five Grateful For My Friends

Welcome back to day five of my long month challenge.

Grateful today for my supportive friends. My friends always know what to say to keep encouraging me with my business. I get the support from my friends that are not my customers too. When my friends come across someone looking to get into card making or memory keeping they send them my way. I love that and really appreciate that! I love sharing how fun it is!

Today was a good day at my networking meeting. Seeing and catching up with friends there.  Been a long time I was there last. Yesterdays blog post with the blog hop I shared a little about my brother and his short battle with cancer. I brought a card I had made for him at a networking meeting and everyone that was in attendance signed it and I mailed it out. When I went back for my brothers funeral my niece showed me the card. I opened it up and saw all the names again. Many other friends sent him cards too. I also saw those and that was a special time to read all your cards. I know he loved them all!

So, as you can tell card making is so much more than just stamping a card.

Come back tomorrow for my Friday weekly color challenge.

ICS -Blog Hop Ribbon of Courage

Woo Hoo it’s the first Wednesday of the month you know what that means RIGHT?
 ICS Blog hop time! Our theme this month is Colors of Courage.
This theme was a tough one for so many of us on the team. Cancer hits so many of us. 

Personally my family has had some losses due to cancer. My brother Joe who was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma on Jan 25, 2017. What a shock and so unexpected when we found out. Thought he might be having a stroke and being told its cancer. When he found out it had already spread to his brain. I was blessed to go and help him for two weeks in Feb in Kansas. Was part of his support system as he was facing treatments that included radiation. It was so hard to see him like that. We had some special times while I was there that I will cherish forever.

 He was a fighter and was determined to live. Sad to say less than four months his fight was over on May 20.  
I decided to make this card for a friend of mine that recently has lost a family member.
