Many of you may know that she has a wonderful husband, 3 beautiful little boys, that she is a super Mommy and way talented crafter...she also has Stage 4 Gastic Cancer.

Today, her husband wrote an update on her blog. Although we have never met, her story touches me beyond words and my heart breaks for her and her family.  I am continuing to pray for Katie's Miracle!!!!! I hope will join me!

Lori Boyd at the start of the year was asked to design a stamp for Katie,and ended up getting an email from her telling her how much she loved it. She said it really was her boys. She was so very very sweet and very appreciative!  Sooooo, Lori and all of the BLD Team wanted to do a HUGE push of this image for her babies!!  Lori told her we were going to do this and that forever this stamp would be theirs!!  It just so happens that her 2 little guys have a birthday on the 19th of this month and her big boy has one on the 1st of December. I would LOVE to bless them with a wonderful birthday and Christmas, so that Kevin and Katie do not have to think of worry about that!

The link to purchase the stamp is not working so please go right HERE to purchase it.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for supporting and loving Katie and her Family!   

PLEASE keep Praying for Katie's Miracle!!

I wanted to show you my latest journal page!

This has just been completed and is hot off my art table!

I have hand drawn the whole page and used my Copics to add all the blended colour.

My drawing and journaling was done using my Copic Multiliners (0.1, 0.3, 0.5).

The whole page has been created on X-Press It Blending Card!!!

The quote I have used says, 

"Sometimes the dreams that come true are the dreams you never ever knew you had!"

Happy Creating

Hello everyone,  

I have been MIA lately, as I have had my head down and bottom up indulging myself in some Mandi time!  

No I haven't been on holiday, instead I have been doing a great course by my friend Jane Davenport called Supplies Me.  

I am having such fun indulging my creative soul!  I thought I might show you my homework assignment that I just completed!

I know its different to what you normally see on here, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

Happy drawing....Mandi-Lee

Again, the entire page is created with Copic markers!

And finished the page off with some bling!

I hope you love this page as much as I loved creating it!
Let me know what you think!

Happy Creating.....Mandi-Lee
