The Queen for the Day this week is Michelle, and I don't think there could be a sweeter stamper, or example of the ability to give to others. I lovingly call Michelle the "Animal" due to the amount of cards she is able to produce in that Stamp Castle of hers! Michelle's ability to reach out to others is beyond compare. Because of Michelle, I became aware of the Chemo Kids, and love that Michelle can bring encouragement to young people who suffer. It is an honor to send cards to Michelle for this purpose when she is having some difficult days herself.
Casing Michelle's Hogs & Sketches, I kept Michelle's layout, and omitted the rick rack in order to keep these cards from requiring extra postage. The bear is flocked and has one movable arm- I thought the kids would enjoy the 'feel' of these bears. Nothing like hugging a teddy!
Michelle, thank you for all you do. Da Bears are in da mail sistah! LYMI, ITA!!!!
Thanks for looking!

Many thanks for participating in Michelle/Shellapoo's QFTD challenge to ramp up her kid card stash. Below is an excerpt from an email she sent me.
"I haven't been online much to check out all of "my" cards...my tremor has been bad the last few days which makes it very hard to type or use the mouse, etc...BUT I have already started receiving the most precious cards in the mail for my kids! I am positively overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and generosity of the wonderful stampers on SCS!
I have to tell you, this giant (Burger King) crown suits me quite well! I am enjoying having many subjects, court jesters, and everything else that comes with being Queen of a royal court! So far no one has lost her head! (Except me, of course! LOL!!!)
I really, really want to thank everyone even if I can't comment on every card. I am trying so hard because I do not want to be rude and take a gift - and an honor like being QUEEN! - without saying thank you...my Mom and Grandma taught me better than that!
Much love, and more thanks than I know how to express!

Pat this card is just adorable. I love the look of the flock - teddy looks so real and has movable parts! The plaid b/g look like flannel. Awesome work. Any child receiving this will feel the love put into this one.
