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.

Fabulous image and colored to perfection! And what a great cause you have alerted us to!! I too am sorry to hear you lost your job (way too much of that hapenning!) but how awful to lose an eye. As Sabrina so aptly put ~ it puts things in perspective for certain!! Wonderful job as always Connie Jo!! Hugs!!

What a cute image and you photo sure captured the dimension of the embossed hearts. Great job with you inspiration.
My mother in law had those glasses in turquoise, it was a nice look back in time.
