A plea for cards for a sweet little girls who’s twin sister just lost her battle

to cancer! Jennifer McGuire is collecting cards for Grace and you can find all the details here on Jennifer’s blog.

 for Jennifer's card drive for Grace

IMG_0694

I have a twin sister and I couldn’t image my life without her. A long time ago when we were 11 yrs old living in Germany she got hit by a car. When the ambulance came everyone thought I was the one who got hit cause I was so hysterical. ( She just had a few bruises) I have been wanting to send more cards for Jennifer’s other card drives but, for this plea I had to drop everything and I wanted to make a fun and silly card to hopefully put a smile on Grace’s face. I printed several of this photo of our “Max” to make cards for the sick children. I have to admit he is pretty adorable. Off to finish some other projects. Have a great evening 🙂

P.S. Don’t forget there is still time for my blog candy. Here are the details.
P.S.S. The bird is a Hero Arts stamp and the sentiment too.
