Happy Monday everyone!!! Sorry I have been so long in posting but last week was one I would like to forget!! And I am very sorry in advance if what I am going to tell you offends anyone BUT I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer last week...so this week will be filled with scans, tests, and all of that pre-op stuff, and surgery is scheduled for February 2 with a radiation regimen afterwards! I would like to apologize for not being able to get around to visit you and your blogs because of so many time constraints with appointments, etc. BUT you all know that I will be over to see you as soon as I can!!! The good news is that it is so difficult to keep a strong woman down SO I will be here as much as I physically can!!! Ladies, please, please, please remember those mammograms for both you and your loved ones!!!!
Now on to happier stuff!!! This is my DT Sample card for Just Magnolia this week using a delightful sketch by the very talented JayJay. The DP is from K&Co and I have added a pink rhinestone heart, pink organza ribbon and gold heart buttons. This darling Cupid Tilda, colored in Copics with a touch of MS glitter on her head and Diamond Glaze on the arrows, and from Magnolia-licious is encircled with pleated grosgrain ribbon. Finally I added a Tiny Tag from SU.
This is my DT Sample card for Friday Sketchers where we are being hosted this week by Jacqueline from The Netherlands. Again I used the same DP from K&Co and added some wide heart ribbon, a little Melissa Frances frame, and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tilda with Key from Magnolia-licious is colored with Copics and the key is highlighted with a bit of Gold Smooch. I bordered her with lace/heart trim and finished the front with heart gems on the corners.
To match this card I decorated a papier mache heart box with the same trims and added doilies, gold hearts, and a bit of ribbon and roses.
I have filled the heart box with Happy Valentines embellishments and it is ready to be mailed to some lucky commenter!! I would also appreciate it if you would invite others to drop by. Inside you will find....
--packs of both red and white paper lace doilies
--a pack of Smitten K&Co rhinestones
--a pack of red rhinestones
--a handful of heart charms
--a length of red heart wire
--Happy Valentine's Day stamp
--6 types of Valentine ribbons
--red tulle
--a packet of heart buttons
--heart stick-ons
--a bouquet of Wild Orchid Crafts red roses
--a jar of Fire Engine Red Shimmerz!!!
Let's end this on Thursday, January 28 at Midnight EST....thanks

Hi Jacque! I am truly sorry that you have to go through the tests, the surgery, the treatments... but I am also here to let you know that I am one who has gone through breast cancer - double mastectomy - and am a SURVIVOR! You don't have to go through this alone and you don't always have to be strong! I encourage you to grieve (as it comes)- this is important and will help you in the long run. If you have any desire to contact me, I would love to support you, pray for you, whatever you need...here's my e-mail: beauty4ashes@verizon.net
May God's healing hand begin to bring your healing even now - physical, emotional, and spiritual. May His peace surround you and comfort you like you've never known before.
In Christ's love ~ Lori

Love and hugs, Ann xxxxx
Dear Jacque!
I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I am a breast cancer survivor. Two years ago I had a double mastectomy. At this stage I am still cancer free. My DH has just gone through a year of chemo and radiation and at this time has no more cancer in his body. The most important thing is to keep positive and have all your friends keep you in their prayers. I will certainly be praying for you as I know others will as well.
I tell everyone to have a breast screen. It saves lives. You sound very positive and strong so keep believing that you will pull throught this with flying colours.
Your creations are just so beautiful. I love seeing them. You do a super job.
hugs Marion
Jacque
Sorry to hear your news but you'll fight your way through this and I know you'll come out the other side. Keep strong and remember you have lots of bloggy friends here thinking about you.

May God bless you and sustain you in the days to come. Hugs, Martha

Dear Jacque, I know it is hard to put emotions into words for someone you have never met, but honey I am sorry to hear of your illness. I know you will have prayers going across the world for you. Stay strong my friend. Jacque I have several church friends that have come through this with flying colors. Prayer does work. I have heard that the Cancer Centers of America are a God send if that is a possibility for you. I have a friends mother who has gone there and praised it highly. I hope I am not being too personal. Take care of yourself. And be the "strong" lady that you are. Lifting you up in prayer,
~Pam
Thank you for all the joy you have given your blog followers through your beautiful art work.
