Sample Pics...

Here are some photos of the Flower Soft (tm) and some samples made by the company, Terri, one of our customers who is a friend-who-is-like-family and myself... this 'stuff' is SO much fun!

Flowersoft (tm) is here!

I will get photos for you but I just wanted to let you know that Flowersoft (tm) has arrived!
For those of you who don't know Flowersoft (tm) is especially beautiful for embellishing greeting cards and other art work.  We currently have 14 colors available along with their accessories. 
Terri used some in her Stamp of The Month class yesterday morning and it was a hit!
Stop by to see the beautiful samples they sent, Terri's sample, and a card sent to us from one of our dear customers...

Update...

For those of you who do not follow us on Facebook, here is a photo of Mom (Connie) taken yesterday afternoon at the Girlfriend's Tea to benefit the Cancer Association of Anderson.
Believe it or not, she had chemo just the day before!
The oncologist lowered the dosage of the chemo to hopefully keep her white blood count from dropping so much. She has completed two of the three treatments in this cycle. The last will be on Friday. Two weeks after that the oncologist will determine whether he feels she should take another cycle or if it is enough.
We can visibly see that the nodules have receded!
We are ever so appreciative of the outpouring of support, prayers, well wishes and positive thoughts from all of you and from so many friends we have never met, all over the world.
THANK YOU ALL!
