It's all about the Cactus!! Happy Birthday to you!

Cactus is all the rage right now! Since I live in Arizona I am so used to seeing them it is funny how they are a "thing"! I saw Paige Evans create a layout using this paper layering and I knew I wanted to give it a try on my card! It was a great way to use up my scraps and practice my sewing! I am sharing this over at the Eyelet Outlet!

Blessings, An Arizona Themed Card to bring to the Homeless.

Now that the Arizona summer is coming to an end and the cooler weather is upon us, I am seeing more and more homeless people while I travel for work. My girls spent last week restocking my car with bags of supplies for me to give out. You can see the bags HERE.

A quick story, I didn't always include cards in my bags, one day I just decided a more personal touch might really make someones day. This past week I was driving and passed a homeless person sitting on the opposite side of the freeway, so I pulled off went around to the other side of the freeway, squeezed onto the shoulder and gave him a bag. I ended up having to make a u-turn, and I was sitting at a red light and I looked over as he was digging thru the bag and pulled out the card that was inside. Not the water, not the candy, not the snacks, it was the card.  It honestly made me cry! So now I make sure every bag has a card, so that they know that someone does care.

Here is one of my cards:
