I wanted to give you an update on the prayer request I made. The young man started opening and closing his mouth on command several days ago. They were wondering if it was fluke but he is still doing it and it seems to be more controlled now. Yesterday when my daughter went to see him she wondered if he could do anything else. She asked him to smile for her and guess what he…
The inspiration for this card came from a scalloped scrap that I had punched the center out of. I saw the sketch at Card Patterns and thought I could use the scrap for the circular element in the lower right corner.

He is currently paralyzed from the nose down and his only form of communication is by blinking his eyes.
