ps.. I've updated my blog candy so please take a look... :)
As I sit here with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart I can not help but to pray for the Dunn family (Michael, Alissa, Isaiah and 3 mo. old twins Isabelle Grace and Madeline Ora). Isabelle and Madeline are both undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Children's Hospital in Detroit Michigan for stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Please check out their story on both Andrea's blog here as well as the Dunn family personal blog (here you can see pictures of the entire family)
As my heart weeps for these 2 precious little girls and the brave battle the entire family is fighting I wish there was more I could do for this family. But some times praying is the most any of us can do. Today I will be sending my wishes, thoughts and prayers to Michael & Alissa and I hope you all do the same.
Andrea is offering a little Blog Candy for a cause and I would like to do the same. Please send a RAK to Andrea for
the Dunn family. When you do, please post a link to your card HERE on this post (or) if it's posted on SCS please indicate that as well with your SCS name. Please feel free to send more than 1 card as each card you send will earn you a chance to win my blog candy. EDIT... I ventured off to Michael's this weekend and picked up a little candy.. I'm offering up 2 spools of Martha Stewart (MS) twill ribbon (1 putty & 1 chocolate), a jar of MS white glitter (I think this will be awesome for holiday cards.. can anyone say snow) and 2 stamps.. 1 says 'thanks' (many times) and the other says thinking of you today.. I thought they were appropriate..

I love your card.
I sent mine off today. I posted mine in my SCS gallery.
I mailed a card on Friday but don't have a link to it. Camera isn't working. Added the Dunns to the prayer list at church. Thanks for letting us know about them and offering to collect cards for them.
Lisa,

Thanks,

Lisa, your card is gorgeous! I have put my card in the mail today for the Dunn Family. I do not have a blog yet, so no way to link unless you want a picture in pm! I will try to send a picture to Andrea to post to scs, as I'm brand new at this. Thank you for your participation in this special cause.
I love the cause y'all are supporting and am proudly sending a card along! Here's my blogspot showing my card.

This is such a fun thing for me to do. I am a card maker on my days off, but my real job is a pediatric oncology nurse. So this RAK has a huge place in my heart. My card is posted on my blog for the Dunn Twins.

This card is delish! I love your 5/8 knot!
I was excited to use my new SU stamp set and make a card for the Dunn family. This is such a great gift for them to get, I would love to see their faces going through all those works of art! My card can be viewed at www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/689654. TFL
Your card is beautiful. I sent a card to Andrea but I do not have a blog and personally didn't photograph it. New to this computer stuff. Thanks for your thoughtfulness and kindness!
