H{ippity} Hop Monday!

Happy Monday! And a very happy Monday indeed - I HAVE THE DAY OFF!!! I'm so excited. I'm going to be making cards & stamping all day long. Well, in between school drop off & pick up, hehe. For this week's H{ippity} Hop I decided to play along with All Things Unity this week. They have a great challenge going on for the rest of the month & that is to make a card honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up next month. You not only have to make a card but share your story -- one of my dear dear friends -- almost like a 2nd mother to me when I was in high school lost the battle to breast cancer about 6 years ago. She was a beautiful woman, full of love & laughter & just had a great spirit. I will always remember her laugh and the way she always took the time to listen to me. Her legacy lives on in 4 beautiful daughters & now grandchildren. I know she is looking down from above & just so thrilled to see her family grow. So, as I made my card, I thought of her & I remember always hearing a song by Mercy Me called Homesick that really touched my heart when she passed. I guess that is how why this set jumped out at me when I sat down to make my card. Since I used the bird from one of my favorite ippity sets Music of my Heart, I am also entering it in this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge - Tweet & a Flutter! Check it out, all you need is a bird or a butterfly somewhere on your project.
