monsters



just another quick card. i had to clean up the guest room/craft room for my MIL who will be staying with us but then she didn't come so i quickly made this. (nancy or tif: can i come over to your place?) then i found out i still have a couple of days before she is here so i started making a huge mess again. there's another project i am currently working on too but i better get my hustle on!


can i ask you all to please stop by these 2 links below? maybe not buy your weekly treat just for this week? i saw her link on a friend's blog who saw it on her friend's blog. i read her story, her background and i immediatley took action. she is a mom of 2 boys, just like me. she is a scrapbooker/crafter, just like me. can you imagine as a crafter, losing your fingers?! i remember when i had stitches on the palm side by my thumb(a craft accident involving a xacto knife & a potato in a class called 'arts & crafts for leisure' in college), i couldn't do too much. and that was just on 1 hand.

donation info here.
and if you do decide to donate, please come back here to comment "donated" and i will pick a random donator on 5/23 for some goodies. please tell your friends and help a fellow crafter out. [you can also comment on flickr---you know where to find me to my regular blog readers =) thanks for helping and if you cannot, just read her story and be thankful for what we have. it can happen to ANYONE.............
