Blog Hop for Janelle


Today I am playing along with a very special blog hop for a very special gal.  Laurie and Dana have organized a blog hop to let Janelle know that we are thinking about her.  So, this post is dedicated to my friend, Janelle, to let her know that I am thinking about her and sending healing thoughts her way.  Of course, it features Little Bitty Bird, the guy we both love.  And, because I seem to be putting everything in pockets this week, he is perched in a tree that is nestled in a pocket.

Happy Hello


I also have a card for her husband, Ken, who has been such an incredible support for Janelle through this journey.  As Ken has become a blogger, too, I thought he should get his own card.  I am never happy to see the posts where Ken is writing, but I am so grateful that he is willing to carry the torch to let us know how things are going.

Just Thinking of You

Both of these cards are on their way to Janelle and Ken, and should arrive shortly after this blog hop, if I got the timing right.

If you would like to participate, please click here to get to Laurie's blog, Soapbox Creations, to link up your card for Janelle.  Or click here to leave some love on Janelle's blog.

Stay strong, Janelle.  We are all rooting for you.
