Send Some Smiles...

I am so enthralled with blogland. The most amazing people blog. I meet them by reading and following their blogs. Many of us have similar creative and artisitic ideas. Some of us have never stretched our talents and become encouraged to do so by our blog friends. We do become friends even though we have never met in person. We feel a connection. We form bonds.

These tags were inspired by a wonderful lady named Diane Knott and you can see her blog here: http://dianeknottsmusings.blogspot.com/ which I highly recommend. Diane makes the most beautiful cards, tags and other items. I have put my spin on some tags that she made using lavender and making sachets for the recipient to use in drawers or wherever. I feel so blessed to be able to make something and know exactly who I am sending it to. The tag in the middle with the word imagine on it is going to be mailed to St. Louis to a wonderful lady named Colette. Keep reading please...

I found out about Colette through a beautiful blog that Sherry (yes her name is spelled exactly the same as mine and that is very fun) has and I have been following. Please visit her blog to read about Colette:



This post of Sherry's is so heartwarming as it is requesting anyone send mail to Colette to cheer her while she is battling breast and bone cancer. Now this is the part of blogland and new friends that I truly cherish. We have such big hearts and want to help others so we come together and have a purpose bigger than just one of us could achieve on our own. I am now sending little cards and cheerful things that I think will brighten the day and bring a smile to Colette's beautiful face. I sent a butterfly because it represents 10,000 happinesses. I sent a heart shaped fabric yo-yo. I am sending this lavender sachet tag. Oh I have lot of ideas that I am preparing and will send every few days. Sherry at Country Wings is a lovely lady and so giving that now she is putting together a scrapbook for Colette. Please read about her ideas in her posts. Maybe you will want to help out and send some cheer and get Colette in the Pink.

I am truly blessed as I am able to enjoy every day and spend it doing whatever makes me happy. Truthfully making others happy is the most rewarding for me and makes me the happiest.


So please visit Diane and Sherry and send some cheer to Colette. Prayers are always excellent.

  7. Oh Sherry Sweetie...
    What an awesome job you did with these tags. They are just beautiful. You really outdid yourself sweetie.

    Lavendar smells so good. It is one of my favorites. I love it that you share with ones in need. There are so many out there that are touched in many ways, for me this mail call for Colette is so near and dear to my heart. It meant everything to my precious neice when she was dying with cancer last Fall. She so looked forward to mail call. I promised her that when I had the opportunity again, I would do the same for another precious soul to carry on this beautiful prayer warrior idea, so thus came the idea of sharing and caring for Colette. She is precious.

    Thank you for the shout out, I so appreciate it. I always look forward to new visitors and friends. We can never have to many of those. Country hugs sweetie and so much love...Sherry
