KatieÂ’s cancer story started just before Christmas last year. This young, beautiful, healthy, vibrant mother of 3 with her infectious smile was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight. A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer. Her first post about it is here.
Katie is on the Design Team with me at Clear Dollar Stamps. Since I just started I donÂ’t know her very well but the ladies over there LOVE her sooooo much I canÂ’t help but love her too. Trudy made this awesome stamp set to sell and ALL of the proceeds go to Katie. I didnÂ’t realize that periwinkle was the color for gastric cancer and that is the original color of the stamp. I changed mine to match my paper so not sure if that is politically correct but it is the standard cancer ribbon. Any way I support Katie!!
