If you came here another way, please click here for the first part of this story. I hope this hop inspires you to make a card and send it to Jaimie.
I chose a few things that might make a little girl happy. For the background, a reanimated Hardy Boys Mystery, which I was reading at about Jaimie's age. There's nothing like a good mystery to transport you to another place. Then, I added lots of pink, courtesy of Basic Grey's Indian Summer and Stampin' Up!'s Melon Mambo Ribbon.
The hedgie I chose for its symbolic contribution - most things that seem prickly on the outside can turn out to be sweet and soft and surprising on the inside. I hope that something awful turns into a positive and sweet life for little Jaimie.
This adorable image is from my new favorite Etsy seller - Niko Art. Nicole is an amazingly talented designer and her images are adorable and perfect. I hope it brings a smile.
If you want to help more, please visit the special blog that has been set up for this effort.
It's people like Denise and Erin that really put joy in creating art, and making sure that art connects us to people and not things.
Say your prayers for little Jaimie, and if you have time, send her a card.
Your next stop on the hop is the lovely and talented Amanda Newton.
