MARIE ANTOINETTE - WHO KNEW???

Marie Antoinette - I'm serious - who knew??

I have recently become as enamoured as a lot of you have with Marie Antoinette.
In fact, I even joined this fabulous mail art group that I LOVE where I get to create Marie art; as much as I can handle! (If you want to know more about that, email me:)
So, when I stumbled across this blog called Cupid's Charm and saw this *amazing* banner I couldn't help myself - you simply must go to Joy's (we're BFF's now that I've come to love her through this series she did. I'm sure she'd agree.) blog and read her week long posts on Marie. There are facts that you're going to want to know.
After you visit Cupid's Charm you'll see what I mean.
This woman (Joy, my BFF) put hours and hours into researching Marie Antoinette's life and it's simply fascinating. Oh, and the pictures. Simply amazing.
After the blessing I received enjoying Joy's posts, I know what I'm going to do this weekend.......I'm going to rent the movie, Marie Antoinette! I can't wait to see the fashions and furnishings up close and personal.

( I'm kinda thinkin' that Mare and I would have been best friends if I lived during the 1700's.)

.
Y'all have a blessed Easter. Remember Christ's resurrection and celebrate our risen Lord!
.
Blessings to you all and especially to my readers. I simply adore you!

WHAT CANCER CAN'T DO - A VERY SPECIAL CARD

It saddens me.

The number of friends that have recently told me that they or a family member have cancer.

The number of friends that have been living with cancer.

The number of friends that are sick from the poisons that are pumped into their body in an effort to kill their cancer.

The number of friends struggling with the loss of hair, energy and appetite.

The number of friends struggling with their faith.

That's why this card is so important.

Please read what it says.
(It's typed below the photograph of the card - easier to read)
And please remember that all of my work is copyrighted.

IT SAYS:

WHAT CANCER CAN'T DO

It cannot cripple love

It cannot shatter hope

It cannot erode faith

It cannot eat away peace

It cannot destroy confidence

It cannot kill friendship

It cannot shut out memories

It cannot silence courage

It cannot invade the soul

It cannot reduce eternal life

It cannot quench the spirit

It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection

The butterfly is free-standing and is attached to the card at it's center so that the wings can stand up.
The photo of this card totally does not relate the beauty of the card - it is gorgeous in it's presentation and loving in it's written words.

You can see this card and others in different colors and patterns in my Etsy shop and Lollishop.

I love each and every one of you,
