First off, many thanks to reader Priya! She sent a lovely package of cards for Karen’s Cards. Bless you, Priya, for sharing your awesome talent with our church!
If you’re interested in donating to Karen’s Cards, we ALWAYS need sympathy, get well, and thinking of you cards. Right now, we’re also running low on birthday cards.
These cute little mushroom dies from Poppy Stamps make me so happy. They are colored with Simon Says Pawsitively Saturated Ink and blending brushes, with white gel pen dots. The embossed panel (folder by Simon Says as well) was a left-over from another card.
I hope you are all having a great summer and a safe Independence Day weekend. Toward the end of this month, George and I are heading to Mackinaw City, Michigan. He’s swimming across the Mackinaw Straits…about 4.25 miles. I will be either relaxing with a good book or prepping classes for the fall semester. I’ve applied for a full-time teaching job. If I don’t get that job, I’m already on schedule to teach two online classes, which will require minimal preparation. I’m adding videos to those classes, though, and that will be fun!
George and I had planned to travel to Germany, Switzerland, and northern Italy this fall, which is why I signed up for online classes in my adjunct job, but we had to cancel our trip because a family member has started treatment for pancreatic cancer. If you are the praying type, she would very much appreciate extra prayers.
I hate cancer so much.
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan

ReplyDeleteI hate cancer as well...diagnosed early with breast cancer last fall. It was small and local & I was lucky. Last week my nephew's 35 year old wife got the bad news of her own breast cancer....a few months after her mom's own diagnosis and surgery. Mom's doctor told her that her three daughters should be tested ASAP. So I'm of the opinion that doctor probably saved my nephew's wife's life....since it was caught so early. Life throws so many curve balls...
