Sort of kind of used this glass and this circus scene as my inspirations. This is a free Meljen's Design image for a stamper who raises donkeys but recently lost an eye and in need of help. You can find her story and how she is doing here . Stampavie has a blog with another free image and a place where you can send donations to help her. You can find all of that information here . I am sending this card to my Little Emily (Send Love Today) who is almost 4 years old!! I think this one will work in her age group and will be sending a different card to Michelle to lift her spirits. I have felt sorry for myself since I lost my job but then I hear of a person you has lost her eye and not financially able to do surgery makes me realize how lucky I am. I hope that anyone who is able, will send the $3.00 or more for the free image to help Michelle. All funds will be sent to help with the cost of her doctor and hospital.
Thank you for looking.

Beautifully coloured, Connie. I have the image on Stampavie in mind to get next week and make a donation, I read about it somewhere yesterday.
You're so right, we can feel that we are in a bad place ourselves, but there are always people so much worse off. Not that it takes away from our own difficulties, but it helps us to see them in perspective.

CJ9, this is wonderful information! What a great cause, too.
Thanks. Yup, this definitely works for a 4 year old girl. The image is just darling but it's your fabulous coloring that really takes it to an altogether different level. I see you stay focused today, which is a good thing, and managed to work those horribly arthritic hands of yours to produce something remarkable. I may need to follow in your footsteps, girl. I look up to you knowing that when I get old, I can still keep up with the younger ones. I love your card, BTW.
