Please Help - Thinking of You

One of our blogging-paper-crafting-friends, Sue Drees, recently shared some sad news.

 

Her sister, Edith, fell on June 22, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. On June 25, the tumor was successfully removed. However, the biopsy brought back devastating news - a fast growing Brain Cancer. Sue's sister is determined to fight this all the way. She began physical rehabilitation on

July 4.

Sue and Edith both live in the North East (USA). Sue and her husband transport Edith's husband to the hospital each day and check up on changes and quality of care.

While Sue did not ask for help, others kept in touch with her and asked if Edith would enjoy receiving cards of encouragement and support.

Sue was so grateful that the on-line community might help in this way - it was something she had not considered.

Edith enjoys quilting and LOVES flowers! Edith's beloved fur baby is a little pug and they miss each other very much.

Will you please consider sending a note, tag, or card (or two or three?) offering encouragement? Edith valiantly fights other illnesses in addition to this new challenge. She is a very courageous soul.

Cards can be sent addressed to Edith c/o Sue Drees and she will take them daily to the hospital.

To obtain the mailing address, please write:

Thank you for making a difference in one person's life, by bringing in a little sunshine.

If you'd like to post this information on your own blog, feel free to copy and paste it into a post.  The more people we reach, the more cards will be there to encourage Edith in her fight.  And if you believe in the power of prayer, add Edith to your daily prayers.  I'm keeping her in mine.  :-D

Our cable provider was down for phones, internet AND television most of today, so this post is a bit late. Here's my card for Edith:

 

 

- image is an oldie Art Impressions (M2608), copic coloring on an Xpress snippet, MFT pierced circle die, and over painted with Liquid Pearl paint diluted just a bit with a water brush. It has a nice shimmer IRL.  

 

- card front is Colorbok Watercolor theme paper (snippet), embossed with a new Life Style textured EF.

 

- corrugated paper from DCWV Spring & Summer Corrugate Stack.

 

- sentiment stamped on a yellow snippet from the same Watercolor pack, using Fluid Chalk Prussian Blue, as was the stitched scalloped border. Flowers were punched from the same snippet with small punches. All came from different portions of a small mottled yellow snippet left from another project. I'm not the greatest with making flowers, but keep trying now & again.

 

Off to Snippet Playlground Week 132 to see what that group of talented folks are up to. Won't you come along and join in the fun? Have a wonderful evening, and blessings & hugs! Thanks for the visit.
