My Favorite Things, The Cat’s Pajamas and Verve Stamps have all come together to offer you 10% off and donate a portion of their sales to my friend, Susan and her family.
Every bit helps! Thank you!!
**on the MFT site, use the code SUSIEQ at checkout**
As you have probably read from her blog, Susan’s husband, Eric, is currently undergoing treatment for a very aggressive form of lymphoma. Through this battle, my BFF has always found a way to make lemonade out of the crappy lemons life has been handing her and her family lately. I admire her strength to smile on days that I know are filled with rain clouds. Eric is strong and is making it through the treatments one day at a time. There have definitely been some setbacks with adverse reactions {meaning kidney function, fevers, and complete loss of appetite} and needed transfusions. And, the reality of it is that the bills are adding up and Eric is out of sick time at work. This is where you can help!
My Favorite Things, Verve Stamps and The Cat’s Pajamas are having a benefit sale Friday through Sunday (EDIT) with 10% off your purchase and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Liles’ family. You can support them and get stamps…win, win!!
OR
There is a DONATE button on the side of her blog. You can read more about it on THIS post that her sister and friend wrote. If you have any questions in regards to this, please contact Sheila {a longtime friend of Susan’s} at sheila@remember4faith.com
Tonight I am bringing them some BBQ chicken, pasta salad and sliced strawberries to hopefully ease the day to day stuff that goes on with or without cancer knocking at your door. I hope you can my friend, too!
PS-I love what Alma wrote on her blog about our friend. You can read her post HERE.

Howdy and welcome to the 2nd TCP Tuesday challenge that I am posting this week. Fortunately, this one is actually on time {go me!}. Hopefully today won’t be a repeat of yesterday at all!! Our AC went out and I waited ALL DAY for the repairman only to find out that our neighbor owns his own HVAC biz and took about 20 minutes to fix the problem. Thank goodness because it was creeping over the 80 degree mark and I was NOT happy!!
Anywhooooo…
Leigh is your Hipster Hostess with the Mostess this week and she is challenging you with this fabby sketch…
Instead of making mine into a card, I chose to do a large tag with Joyride and some October Afternoon and Pink Paislee paper…
This tag definitely has some height!…
I embossed the “road” with one of PTI’s impression plates and check out the bow behind the button. It’s some of the bestest twine/thread ever {it’s TCP’s Linen Thread}…
It’s **really** hard to tell, but I used one of my Sakura Glaze pens to create a chrome look on the gray parts of the Vespa…
You will find all the details on this challenge and how to get a chance to win $25 in Cat Cash to spend on the TCP site on LEIGH’s BLOG.
Monday greetings! I’m running a little bit behind on last week’s TCP Tuesday challenge {click HERE for the deets on Susan’s blogaroo} to use any of the TCP alphas. Nic ‘decided’ to come down with a lil’ virus last week that put him all sorts of moods. Needless to say, stamping time was at a minimum. He’s feeling better and taking a good nap now, so I got a chance to play…YAY!
This is the card that I made for Tony for Father’s Day with the TCP Coolvetica set. Ellie affectionately refers to him as “The Daddyman.” Kinda like the “Candyman” on Willy Wonka. It’s so cute to hear her talk about her “Daddyman.” I tried to keep it sweet and simple since it is for a guy, but I didn’t necessarily drive myself towards masculine colors, as you can see.
I popped up the heart to give it a little bit of dimension and distressed and sewed on the Kraft panel for some texture…
Psst…I got word that there’s gonna be another TCP release fairly soon. I’ll be sure to keep you posted with as much info as I’m allowed to give 
As for now, there’s some new twine in the store that is *divine* and you can see it HERE.
