One of my dearest friends has opened her heart and home to Anita who is turning 40. Anita is down syndrome and has always lived in her parents home. They are now in their 80's and it was determined that Anita would do best in a home environment. She is about 4 feet tall and the world's best "cheerleader and encourager" She always has a hug, high 5, and responds to much of my info with a "THAT'S AMAZING, Michele" and many "I love you's" tucked in too. She LOVES playing "go fish" and pop-a-matic Trouble. When I'm over in the evening, the games come out!! When Anita asked if I was coming to her birthday party on Saturday, I knew I had to make up a special card for this little sweetheart.

How precious! I remember your heart warming stories of Anita's family, and your sweet lil card made my heart smile Sistah! What a precious lil scene. Love-love-love the sky, and pretty lil patterns on your paper. You even made the grass look real! Your patterned butterfly is the cherry on top. Beautiful work, beautiful heart. Lymi
