Lots more to share…

Hi!  A few holiday things to share…

First: an ornament, card and tag share.  Here is my project for 2peas' 36 Days of Christmas.  Click HERE for more details.  Since making this ornament, Colin has been making many of his own. (He just punches lots of circles, then punches a hole in them, then strings them on a ribbon with buttons between.)

Next: Here is my weekly challenge over at 2peas.  The challenge is to stamp on patterned papers.  Click HERE for details…

Here is one I did to go along with that challenge.  I stamped with chalk ink and a Hero Arts stamp on vintage text paper.  I then added shading with colored pencils.

Next is something I am so excited to tell you about.  Through this blog I met a sweet girl named Doreen.  Her sweet boy, Connor, got cancer when he was 5.  After many ups and downs, he is now 18 and an amazing guy.  Along the way, he helped out the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.  Each year, he has created art that is used on holiday cards to raise money for the foundation.  And he is SO very talented! 

If you are needing holiday cards this year, I highly recommend checking out his cards HERE and HERE or any of the other designs HERE.  Doreen was so wonderful to send all of his card designs from each year.  Audrey and I plan to put to line them up on our wall tomorrow to enjoy.  If you make your own cards, you can do what I did.  I ordered several ornaments with his art on it.  Isn't THIS great?  What a wonderful gift… and inexpensive… and it supports a good cause.

If you want to learn more about Connor, click HERE.  What an amazing kid.  And, Doreen, you are a good momma – he is blessed to have you.  You both are in my prayers!

Well… have a good night.  We got our tree today and decorated it.  Did anyone else?  Love this time of year…
