Update on Jayme

I wanted to give you all an update on my sister Jayme. As many of you know she's dying with cancer right now. The top thing on her bucket list was to go to Dollywood. A local charity in Woodward, OK paid for her to do so. The trip was this past week. Unfortunately once she arrived she was so sick she spent the entire trip in a hospital there. She never set one foot in the park. On a big positive note....so many of you (up to 132 as of this minute) have sent her beautiful cards. She was greeted by a Walmart sack full of mail upon her return. I can't tell you how much this timing was just incredibly perfect! It was so wonderful to have something positive after her huge letdown from the trip. Thanks for helping me do this for her. It seems like such a small thing to make and send a card....but for someone in Jayme's shoes it's so much more. I appreciate all your prayers and support for her as well!
HUGE HUGS!

I have no clue where this inspiration emerged from...I've never seen an episode or either movie! I just thought it would be fun to do. I used the photo for inspiration and ran with it lol. I think Mo's little ladies just worked out great!
Our challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil this week is to merge images. I merged 4 and erased a dog. If you are unfamiliar with merging there is more info for help on the challenge blog post.
