I created my card today for a special blogging friend to let her know I am thinking of her. On Wednesday evening, June 23, Michelle had an accident while tending her beloved donkeys which has left her blind in her right eye. She has shared the news of her accident in her blog post here (http://donkeysmiles.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-will-be-out-for-awhile-i-have-had.html). I cannot tell you how I felt when her husband emailed me to tell me the awful news last Sunday morning. Michelle you are so brave and have such amazing strength.The sweet donkey image on my card is by artist Tina Wenke and with the help of Stampavie and our support we can send donations to help Michelle "kick" the mountain costs associated with her surgeries and also to help her obtain an artificial eye. For more details please go over to the Stampavie blog.
Two of Whimsy Stamps Artists Melissa Jenkins and Ann Vento have teamed up together to bring us a very special donkey image and matching sentiments that are all available to download for free from the Whimsy Store.
Our card drive will run for 3 weeks and finish on the 27th July at 8pm UK time.
Please visit us at A Spoon Full of Sugar for more details on sending some of your own Donkey Smiles. If you are looking for inspirations the two teams together have some beautiful samples to share with you.
Thank you to my friend Debbie for all the amazing work she has put into organizing this special card drive.
Hugs,

Nikki what a super sweet card, Michelle will just love this creations..all those flowers are GORGEOUS!!!
So glad you did this post Nikki, I've followed Michelles blog for as long as I've followed yours. It was such a shock to hear what happened to Michelle but I'm sure this will bring a smile to her face. This is probably what I love most about blogging, people care, even if you've never met them face to face.I will definitely be doing this. Thanks again Nikki. Hugs. Dawn Marie.xx
