Receiving this beautiful RAK from Michelle (Shellapoo) also known as the Animal, was like a balm to me after a very difficult week. Michelle made fifty (yes 50!) beautiful cards for me to pass on to the Kairos Prison Minstry! This is quite the challenge too. Cards going to prisons can only be paper and ink, no embellishment, glue, layers. And Michelle made fifty of them. To say I am overwhelmed is the understatement of the year! This is incredibly loving, and her beautful cards will not only bless the women in prison, but also the women who work with them. Michelle, I cannot thank you enough for this kindness!
As I went thru the box Michelle sent, my jaw kept dropping- her beautiful card for me, her hand made beaded book marks (now in my bible!) and the lovely wooden cross just filled me up! The lovely book cover and tissue holder were made by her mom- aren't they something! (Thanks Janet! I am already using them!)
Then, the rubbah! Oh my goodness- there has to be over 100 unmounted stamps of everything you can imagine! I don't know where I will start, but I think some Chemo Angel cards are in order.
Michelle, I can never repay this wonderful gift, and thank you form the bottom of my heart. You are an incredible woman, and a loving friend.
Please see the Animal's gallery here to see what I am talking about- she is amazing!

I feel so blessed to have you as my friend. Blessings to you and all the ladies involved with the prison ministry - ministers and prisoners! I'm blessed to be a small participant in this great ministry. (And I hope you enjoy the rubber & handmade gifts, too!) Love you Pat!
