  7. Hi Kathy! Well, I guess the fact that I get to see all your gorgeous cards is just the icing on the cake for me. Each time I stop by, I take time to pray for you and your family. It's my pleasure to do so, and I pray that as God answers prayers, you will give Him all the praise. It's my pleasure to and privilege to be able to pray for you, and like I said....seeing your delightful creations is just an extra blessing to me! Thanks so much for sharing, and always know that I'm only a prayer away.
    Hugs,
