Celebrating with Holley

How's It Going?

I'm sharing a card to help Holley 

celebrate 5 yrs of seizure free.

From Holley's Blog =Time to start the celebration!!

Can you believe it?  February is here!  Not just Feb, Feb 2015! That now makes it 5 years.  5 years ago I was so sick that I couldn't do so many basic things in life and was in total denial about my health even though deep down I knew my only chance to get better would be surgery. So I am very much one of the lucky ones who not only qualified for surgery, but also one whose surgery resulted in completely stopping my seizures so far.

I celebrate each year I am given now, and most especially by giving back to all my crafty friends, both new and old as they were my best supporters, my wonderful friends, my lovely prayer team, and what often kept me going!!  I am so thankful for that.
