Ouch!


Toot! Toot! That's me, tooting my own horn about this card and how super cute it is! I am beyond cuckoo for these Dustin Pike digital images. He was having a special "one night only" deal, and sold over 100 images for $25. I almost had a private moment, but focused and immediately made my purchase. Best $25 I spent that week!!
I have been wanting to color in this "Ouch Dragon", but no one was sick, so I colored it anyway. Then I got the most heart wrenching e-mail from my cousin(in-law) who was writing to tell of his mother's recent brain tumor diagnosis. What?! His step-father had just gone through brain surgery (for a tumor) not six months ago! Not to mention the fact that my cousin was the sole survivor of a Sheriff's helicopter crash a few years ago. It almost killed him (and his parents).
I believe it was Mother Theresa who said, "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle, I just wish he didn't trust me so much."
Well, my Aunt is already out of the hospital 4 days after surgery! She is doing fantastic and is home resting and getting better.


Sooooo, long story short (too late!), I sent her this card to perk her up and let her know we are thinking of her since she can't have any visitors yet .  There's just something "happy" about a pink dragon.

  2. C.U.T.E!!!! I'm sure she's gonna love it!!! Glad to hear she's already out of the hospital! It may not seem like it but I think that family is truly blessed with an incredible amount of strenth and perseverance (my big word for the day!!! AND I spelled it right!!!)
