WOW! All I can say is The Make A Wish Foundation is just AMAZING! Seriously!

I am speechless after seeing all that they provide. To think they add such a bright spot at such a dark time for families. All they kept saying was- its time that all the tears and hard work be rewarded. We can only give you a week, but we hope that will make this fight worth it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WORTH IT? Its amazing!

This has really given Alexa something to look forward to. Since we found out everyday all she talks about is meeting Cinderella and going to the Castle. Its such a simple thing but something we could not give her-not right now anyway.

The people at MAW are all so wonderful. They showed up with a bag full of Disney goodies for all 3 kids!

How do you thank an organization like that enough? Really?

I will share a card I made for them, as a small Thank You.

I wanted something DREAMY for this card. That signified the “WISH”. What does a wish look like?

To me it looks like this. Simple. clean, swirly, and sparkly!

For this I used my Cuttlebug swirls folder, & 2×2 folder-its a birthday sentiment. I covered it with the circle punch. Rubbed silver ink over the raised sentiment (perfect!). Traced the circle with my sakura glitter pen-love that thing! Punched a star from a metal sheet. The swirl is by Autum Leaves-flourish set. LOVE IT! Its embossed with irredescent ice. Very pretty IRL! I hope they like my card-I poured my hear tout in it! LOL!

All they ask is that we share photos of our trip. Now it all is becoming real! YIKES only like 9 days left!!! I haven’t planned anything cause I don’t want to get too excited just to have any one of us get Alexa sick-KWIM?

Anyway-just thought Id share my thoughts.

When something like this happens in your life you realize how important “time” is. I am SO volunteering once my life settles (kids go to school). And I am so THANKFUL for TODAY. Everyday is a gift.

Kiss your kids, call your loved one, cuddle on the couch, and enjoy today. Cause today you are here, together. Today you are alive, and healthy (even if its not perfectly healthy, it could be worse). Today is your memory tomorrow. SO make it count.

OMG! Can you believe I got mail from Japan!

Alicia AKA (militarystampingmom) sent me these goodies from there. I’m in shock! How cool is it to get mail from Japan! Now I must send her something from Target. Do you think they have a Target In Japan?

Anyway-Alicia thanks SOOOOOOO much! Im so excited to try out these new goodies. I hope to create something before we leave for Disney with them, then post it back here! Your letter was SO sweet. I was so touched by your words.

Everyday I am AMAZED at all the wonderful people who I have met through sharing my art on SCS! I get some of you who tell me the sweetest things ever! I appreciate all of you! I am especially happy to hear that what I do helps inspire you in some way!

Thanks so much!
