Post Pal Zack...

Many of the challenge sites over the past week or so have been encouraging card makers to take a look at Post Pals. I'm so pleased that they have as this is such a worthwhile thing to get involved with.

Dustin Pike is also doing a blog candy giveaway in support of Post Pals. What a brilliant idea and one I think I might take up later in the year for my birthday giveaway. Do pop over to Dustin's blog to join in and perhaps you might like to use one of his fantastic digi images to make your card.

My card yesterday was for Tom. Today I have made a card for his brother, Zack. I feel strongly that you should include something for all children in the family and not just the ill child. I know from when my own daughter was very ill her sister had quite a lot to put up with and perhaps didn't get as much attention as she should have had.

As well as being especially made for Zack my card is also for the challenge at ...

Ann, I love that you are taking into consideration the patient's siblings. When DD was undergoing chemotherapy, I was amazed at how many people not only reached out to her, but sent extras for the other kids. That is so important so they don't feel like they're forgotten. Wonderful name card. :D

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
