Giving Back Blog Hop

This hop is for My Sister-in-law who is my Design Team Leader and Best Friend.   You should have come from Heather Flarherty blog.  If you are starting at my blog, you will want to start with Kat’s Blog so you don’t miss any of the great layouts. When you get done hopping, you will want to go to Erica’s Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/EricasCraftRoom) and leave a comment on her page. We will be randomly selecting someone from those comments to win blog candy.

Erica does a lot for many people out there. She supports the Military and their Families and had people from all over the world  make cards for the soldiers to give to there families.  This project was called  Operation Write Home.

The most wonderful thing that she recently did was for the children at St. Jude's who has cancer and are very ill. She had 4,500 cards to give to the children and so many people made this happen! This touches my heart because I am a mother who has a sick child and had to wait for Ethan to get a liver transplant and I had to live in the Ronald McDonald House for 9 months .  I know what it feels like to just open a card and see that someone cares, because you are at your last straw and the days seem dark and then you open a card and that card just makes a huge difference knowing  that there are people who care! I am so lucky to be married to her brother and be able to be close to her. We have our sister moments (Giggle) but we get over them pretty quickly. If there was an award for the most giving crafter I would pick her. I'm not just saying this because I am her sister-in-law but because I see what she does for her design team. We spent eight hours just last night goofing off and it was so much fun on ustream! I love that we can joke and have a good time because we all need to laugh. It's therapeutic, well for me it is. 

Well on that note here is what I made for her book...

The blank frame is where I am going to put my wedding picture that has the two of us in it. She was my Maid of Honor. Her favorite paper is Bo Bunny so I wanted to use that paper to make her Layout!

Erica I love you and you mean the world to me.. You are an amazing Women!
