I have a card to show you!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!! Spring is finally here in NE Ohio! I am so happy. I just hope it does not snow again. I know I shoudn't even think it!
For those of you who sent Haeli a card, first of all, thank you.  Secondly, I wanted to keep you updated, my sister was stopping by to see her again today with a second bunch of cards.  She has received 55 cards and packages so far!  She asked her mom why would all these people who don't know her want to send her cards!?  So thank you for showing her that even people who don't know her do care!  (See the right top side bar if you haven't read my post about Haeli)
I have a new card to show you. Yes, finally!!  And I am pretty darn happy with this card.  I combined two stamps.  The first one is from The Pixie Cottage, entitled Pleasant Porch by ArTish. (I swear this card looks like my mother-in-law's porch.)  I also used one of my Magnolia Tilda Stamps.
I just love to make easel cards. I used the a punch around the page from Martha Stewart.  Here is a side view, I pop-dotted Tilda.
I would love to enter this card in a few challenges.

Craft our Days Away - For Mum or a Special Lady
Delicious Doodles - Dimensional Project
Papercutz Challenge - Anything Goes
Do You Stack Up - Add a Ribbon
Just Magnolia - Favorite color combos (I have many -- here is orange and green)

Thanks for stopping by,

A Special Story To Tell You...can you help me?

Hi fellow crafters.  I have a story to tell today....

Earlier this week my sister, who works for a school system, contacted me regarding one of the middle school students.  This young lady, Haeli, is in 6th grade, just like my little girl.  Haeli is dealing with a very serious disease, something that is even hard for an adult to deal with... cancer.  She has a rare form of ovarian cancer.  She is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
 
A child sick with cancer is something I can relate to.  You see I lost a brother at the age of 8 to leukemia.  I remember all the suffering he had to endure during his treatments.   Watching my brother struggle with that disease made a huge impression on me.  I have worried probably more than the average mom about my own children because of this. It also made me want to do anything I could to keep another child from losing his life to that dreaded disease.  (have you noticed my bone marrow donor logo on the right sidebar?  I was tested over 10 years ago,  but have not had the honor of being called to be a donor yet...)  So when my sister asked if there was anything I would be willing to do for this little girl, I was more than happy to comply.

The first thing I thought of was all the friends I have made in blog land while crafting.  I thought of all the beautiful cards and scrapbooks people make.  And, I thought, this little girl would probably really like to receive cards and other craft items from all over the US as well as the world. I am sure this would inspire her own papercrafting.  So that is where you all come in!  I would love to send this young lady anything to bring a smile to her face.  My sister tells me she is interested in art, and her teachers say she is quite talented, so I am putting a basket together of scrapbook/stamping items for her to use.   Also, I am asking you, my followers/friends to send her a card.  Of course if you want to send her a little something else, stickers, embellishements etc, I am sure she would love that as well.  Maybe for a moment we can take her mind off her illness!

So fellow crafters, I humbly ask for your help here.  Could you send a card to Haeli?  Would you be willing to post a little something on your blog asking for cards for her? I am sure she would be thrilled to receive a lot cards, etc. from all over the world.
You can mail them to:

Haeli

Thank you so much!

Blog Candy Winners!!

WOW, was I ever impressed by all the visitors I had for the February blog candy.  Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes!  I had a wondeful birthday!
I was able to make my goal on new followers, so I will be giving away three prizes!!!
Here are the winners:
1-Franca from Franca's Basteleien and she will receive a new Spellbinders die set.

2-Yvon from Yvonne's Frutsels and she wished to receive the new Copics

3- is Linda from It was Here a Minute Ago, Linda wanted to receive either the copics or spellbinders, which are both taken.  However, I will let Linda choose between a new Spellbinders, as I should have a couple extra or the MS punch.

If all three of you ladies would email me at casdanben@aol.com and let me know your mailing addresses, I will get these out to you as soon as I have them in hand.  A little birdie told me my Copics are shipping this week! Still no word on the Spellbinders. I have the MS punch here!

Thanks to everyone who signed up for my newsletter, I hope to send you out lots of tips, tutorials, coupons and other news.
Michelle
