I crossed the finishing line this morning!

Yes, the sixth and final session is behind me! I am so grateful that my white blood count was above normal just in time for today! Do you remember I lanced a prayer request - so glad I did - THANK YOU for the prayers dear ladies of the Crafting Community, friends and family!
I thank God for his sustaining Grace during the weeks, the horrible days when I thought I would never get my strength back and still the good days always came! How He lifted me out of the negative oppressive moods which weighed me down when I stood fast and said NO to the devil through the truth of His Word. Father God I THANK YOU! He has shown me not to believe the lies that stuck as arrows in my soul.
I thank my husband who stuck by me, whose arms were a comfort and whose prayers never ceased. He also has learned a lot - especially how to cook and hang out and fold the laundry!
And I thank you dear friends who have cheered me on from the start, never failing to send supportive words of comfort and prayers to help me along. You have truly been a ray of sunshine and warmth!
God bless you all and draw you to Himself more and more!

Now, on a different note, via Lin's blog I found out there was a challenge going on at Our Creative Corner calling for stamping on Patterned Paper. So, as I had an idea after getting inspired by some Stampington magazines, I'm entering in this card.


and my second one



Stamped the Hero Arts stamp Dogwood on Butterfly gardens PP from Pink Paislee. The other items all come from my Scrap basket. Thanks Brenda for the tag!


Crafting and blogging are definitely good therapy in such times!
Thank you all again!

  15. We all knew you could do it Jacqueline, well done. Your aim now is to allow your body to recover from this onslaught of chemicals.
    It will take time my friend and you must still rest and take care of yourself, and continue to create your beautiful cards, they not only bring you joy when you make them they give out so much joy as well.
