RAKs for new friends!

A friend of mine over on the Crafty Secrets forum (Pammyjo) was kind enough to set up a thread on SCS - Crafty Secrets forum asking the other ladies to make cards to be sent to my dear husband, Mark. Mark is fighting the same fight that SO MANY others are fighting ... of course I'm speaking of cancer! Fortunately for Mark, his cancer type is Hodgkins Lymphoma and after extended treatment, he should be okay (we pray). He has already undergone 9 chemo treatments and has at least 7 more to go (and possibly more). I have no doubt he will be thrilled with the outpouring of well wishes these ladies will provide.

In the process of doing this, Pammyjo has asked us to please take the time and make a card for a couple guys who are near & dear to her heart. First is her friend, Bill who is fighting cancer and could really use a little "boost". This is the card I have made for Bill. I hear he likes the beach so I thought maybe a lighthouse would be appropriate!! (You know how hard it is to make a "guy" card ... especially when you don't really know the guy!!). Hope he likes it and it makes him smile!!

Another request from Pammyjo was for her nephew, Shawn who is stationed SOMEWHERE in Iraq. Location can not be disclosed. He misses his wife and family and could really use our support to remember that we are thinking and praying for our boys & girls who are fighting this ugly war to keep our freedom here in the USA! This is the card I made for Shawn. Hopefully soon, he and his lovely wife will be able to sit upon a mountain top and just enjoy the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces! God Speed Shawn!!!
