Hello! Thanks for coming back! I know that you think I fell off the planet...worse: The H1N1 virus struck! Between Strep throat and the "swine flu" we have been a bunch of sickies around here. I am glad to say that after nearly 2 weeks we are on the upswing to feeling better. Throw in that I had a throbbing tooth too and I was a very unhappy mommy! Needless to say, I was not feeling very creative most of the past 2 weeks. I also apologize for not having a new3 Clovers challenge up last week. I wasn't up to doing the big post. I also wanted to give the space to focus on little Henry and his family, as well as raising money for his memorial. I cannot imagine how devastating it is to lose a child. I don't want to imagine it. It is just so heartbreaking to think of. Pink Cast Studio has raised over a $1000 for Henry's memorial. If you still have not purchased an image you have until the end of the week.

I did perk up for a few hours last weekend and made a couple projects for today's Pink Cat Studio's digi release. Oh. My. Goodness! Melissa has oodles of fabby new digi images for you this week! My absolute fave is the one on the card above...little kissing penguins! Too sweet!! The penguins kissing idea was submitted by Nancy Davis in the ongoing PCS idea contest. So she got this image for free! You can submit your digi ideas and read about the deets HERE.

Nest up I made a candle sleeve with this Fun Santa! I don't know why, but he makes me giggle!
The thing I like about making these candle sleeves are they are quick and easy...but look nice. If you want to burn the candle, the sleeve can be slipped off.
Here are the deets for the candle:

For Henry

This week has been a very sad one as DT member Sarah Anderson’s 3 year old son Henry passed away. Little Henry was unable to overcome a virus that made him ill last week.

Lorie Ames has organized a way to donate for a memorial for Henry. Henry loved his local zoo and visited it almost every day in the summer. As a memorial, trees will be planted there in his honor. Melissa at Pink Cat Studio has created a digital stamp to help raise funds for a tree for Henry. All proceeds from the sale of the digi stamp, minus Paypal costs, will go towards the tree. If you would like to donate towards the tree, please visit this webpage to purchase the digi stamp: http://www.pinkcatstudio.com/Digital/DigiStamps/Animals/Zoo/GiraffeAndMonkey.htm

Another way to donate to the memorial is to print out this form and mail in your donation directly: http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/Parks/PDF/MemorialTreePamphlet.pdf

Please write on the form that the donation is for Sarah Anderson’s son Henry. Once all of the money is collected, a tree and location will be selected. If you have questions about the form please contact Lorie Ames. Lorie will be in contact with Sarah along this memorial journey to ensure that her wishes are followed.
To contact Lorie, please visit her blog at http://www.live-love-laugh-create.blogspot.com/

If you don’t know Sarah and would like to learn more about her, please visit her blog: http://scrampinmama.blogspot.com/

Thank you for your help to raise money for a tree for Henry.

ETA: I found this address on SCS that is forwarding the cards to the Anderson family:
