For Janelle

Today my friends and I are participating in a blog hop for Janelle, an online crafty friend who is battling cancer. Janelle is an amazing person whose shining spirit and positive attitude is an inspiration to all.


I wanted to make a bright, cheery card to hopefully bring a smile to her face and let her know that we are all here to give her a lift.

I'd also like to share a lovely card made by my friend, Cindi Loizeaux. She wanted to be a part of this blog hop but doesn't have a blog herself so Im posting her card here.

Dear Janelle 

Although we have never met, your lovely spirit shines right through your avatar.  Whenever I see that photo, I smile.  I am so happy to be part of this hop just to be able to tell you that.  I hold you and your family in my prayers and hope today is a good day. 

Fondly Cindi Loizeaux
with a shout out to Nadine for posting this.

Thank you Laurie and Dana for organizing this blog hop. Janelle has touched so many lives and this is a great way to show her just how much. Best wishes to Janelle, Ken, and her family. Sending them a warm, sunshiney hug full of aloha.
