Oh, I was so happy to see Dorothy honored this week at our Queen for the Day! Dorothy, your gallery is so much fun to run around in! And I love to sit by you at Teapot Tuesdays. I needed a very special card today, and it is another that is long overdue. Your Welcome Baby card was so perfect for what I had in mind! I cased your layout as closely as I could and changed the image to suit the need.
This is for Donna, the DIL of Karen (Redbugdriver), who donated a kidney to a stranger! I was so moved by her gift! It would be frightening to face this, even for a family member, but she still gave. Amazing what hearts can hold.
Dorothy, your gallery is a reflection of your heart. Thank you for the encouragement you always give. If I ever make it to Tea again, hope you will save my spot! Hugs....

Pat, this is sooooo sweet! Love all the reds! Great dp. And of course you KNOW I love House Mouse!
Wow, donating a kidney to a stranger is a very special act of amazing kindness. It's hard to even know what to say....May her unmeasureable kindness be returned tenfold.
Your card is really wonderful, for a really wonderful person. TFS. : )

Pat, I always love your House Mouse cards! You have a way of making each little image special and unique! This is an absolutely adorable card for a very special person! I so agree with you: this would be a difficult decision to make for a family member and she did it for a stranger. She must have a huge heart and I love that your little mouse is handing her one! Great card and so happy to see you again!

Thanks for sharing the story of Karen's DIL. Yes, that is indeed most generous, and your card with the adorable mouse and heart is perfect. It is bright and cheery without overwhelming. Thank you for your most kind remarks, and for helping to make this a very special week. Sorry I alarmed you with my screams! LOL...

Awww, Pat, what an adorable HM image - the personification of giving, as Donna is doing by donating a kidney!!! She must be a very special person to show such unbounded Love!
