Freshly Brewed Challenge AND Word Art Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

This is going to be a full day for me, so I am putting both of these

posts into one... I hope that is ok...

We are taking my mom to get the rest of her hair cut off and

fitted for a wig. A local shop donates the first wig to cancer / chemo patients, 

and she wanted to do the same for my mom. Today is going to be hard, no doubt, 

but I am looking at it as one step to her getting better. Prayer and faith and trusting

that He is holding her close is what is helping me through. This woman means SO MUCH to me. 

There are NO WORDS that could ever begin to express the kind of person she is.

 I am beyond blessed to have her in my life. So thankful she is my mom and my very

best friend. 

OK, so here are a few cards I created this week

The first is for our Freshly Brewed Challenges SKETCH challenge this week:

I used one of our NEWEST Digital Stamps:
She is Beauty and Strength

NEXT UP

is my WORD ART WEDNESDAY Post. I had a lot of fun

creating this card. I forget, until Fall arrives, just how much I LOVE to 

create using oranges, browns, and golds. Swoon. I know this card is very CAS, 

but I know I am going to make more like this one. Hope you like it too!

I used the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Diecut: - Stitched Grand Maple

Papertrey Inc cardstock: orange and Kraft

double sided tape and Martha Stewart extra fine glitter

Thank you so much for stopping by. I am copying and pasting the update from my FBD blog 

to here so you can read what is going on in my neck o the woods right now. 

UPDATE From Last Week

Some of you already know, but I am adding it here again just in case. My mom was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer in June. She had surgery in July. They think they have removed all of the cancer but are given her aggressive chemotherapy and radiation to be certain. 

She had a bad reaction to the chemotherapy the first time and goes back this coming Thursday (Sept 10) for her second round. She has to have 6 of chemo and 3 radiation.

I mentioned last week that I wanted to use sales from the images to purchase her a wig.

I contacted a local shop and they are going to donate her one. In fact, they donate many!

The first wig is free! We go today to cut and shave her hair off and to choose a wig. 

I did use sales to purchase her a few head wraps from headwraps.com. 

She LOVES them and is really excited to have them. I will still continue to use all sale proceeds to 

help and do things for my mom, so thank you in advance for all you are doing to make this possible. 

Hugs and God bless, 

Heather
