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....

Sweet Pat, I'm having a hard time commenting b/c of the tears in my eyes from reading your post on this adorable card and the comments that were left for you.
Donna is doing well and was released to go back to work. Her kidney is working just fine in the recipient, but he isn't doing as well as expected. I think age is a factor as he's been in the OSU Medical Center a few times w/ non kidney related problems.
Donna made the most heart felt act of kindness there could be. Words cannot thank you enough for this card going to her. I love the sweet image of the presentation of a heart and like our friend Anne, I love that it's red. The layout is spectular as are your coloring and paper choices. Just perfect my friend.
You cased an adorable card of Dorothy's. It was so cute and this is an honor to her also.
It's w/ heartfelt thanks that I say LYMI
