My Card *ROCKS* for a CURE!!!



A cure to what you might be asking??? ALZHEIMER's 

I created this card for a couple of reason's but they all come back to one CAUSE and that is ALZHEIMER's Disease....  A couple of days ago Lauren Meader gave a challenge to "Pay it Forward"!!  Paying it forward is doing a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) with no expectations of receiving anything in return.  Her challenge was to just do something, out of the ordinary, nice for someone else. It could be sending a card, calling, an email, ANYTHING...... She had created a cute little gift set that she was donating to a friend to be used as part of "Something BIG". HMMM  Next reason, I was viewing Gina K's blog to see if I had one her "blog candy" give away.  She was postponing it in order to announce "Something BIG" on behalf of Carolyn King (Cammie).  

The "Something Big" is $1,000 worth of BLOG CANDY to be given away over on Cammie's blog

I will let you follow the link and read what all of the hype is about.

This is the card I created to send to someone who cares for Alzheimer's Patients.  What a wonderful thing to tell a random person that there are people all over the world who appreciate the care that they provide.  Like Lauren, my challenge to you is to "Pay It Forward". Do something unexpected and I promise you will feel warm and tingly all over..........................  Obviously my last reason is to WIN.....................
