CAS625 Unbelievable! | DancesWithHooves Paper Design

Yesterday started off kind of rough. I had grand plans to use my day off to be productive as well as get in a little fun. And the productive part was stressful (researching a purchase we need to make), followed by discovering something not wonderful amidst trying to tackle an “average” task afterward. By lunch, I was stressed, upset, and cranky. But my sweet husband, who was working from home, noticed my state when I came into the kitchen and came to give me a hug.

I tell you – the power of a hug is immense!

For RaiLynn | DancesWithHooves Paper Design

One of the things I love about the Splitcoast family is the environment of giving.  We create so we can give a piece of ourselves to another.  Each week, the Teapotter groupchooses a “guest of honor” to which those interested can shower with cards.

A couple of weeks ago, the guest of honor named was a young lady undergoing 30 days of treatment for cancer – and this is her fourth round of five total.  Seeing this caught my eye, but when I saw she was a patient at the Mayo Clinic, my intent to participate was sealed.

Bright and cheery it would be!

Then I got the flu, and rather than risk sending anything ominous the way of her weakened immune system, I held off on working on her design until this past weekend.  (In fact, I avoided that corner of our house as much as possible for this very reason)  Feeling much, much better yesterday, I got busy making something cheerful.

And for a young lady, my thoughts zeroed in on just a few things: bright pink, unicorns and rainbows, and sparkle.

I think I got ’em all here. 🙂  (And I had a TON of fun putting this together!!!!)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today – you make my day when you do! 🙂

Blessings,

Chrissy
