Winners of the card Drive

Hi Everyone on behalf of myself and Denise I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to create and send Michelle a card.
I would also like to thank our wonderfull sponsors for there very generous prizes, Melissa Jenkins for her gorgeous Donkey Image and Ann Vento for the fab Blinkie,and last but not least the fabulous DT girls for the gorgeous Eye candy.

Michelle contacted me last night and asked me to pop this into the post on her behalf

"I wish there was a way to write each person that sent me a card to thank them, but that is just not possible with the huge number of cards that have arrived. It has been my favorite time of each day when Hubby brings the mail in, we sit on the bed and he opens each card - first telling me where it is from, then reading the card to me, then letting me ogle over the beautiful art on each of them. I know Hubby has really enjoyed this as much as I have - he actually hurries out to the mail now and have our special time with the cards.

The prayers, well wishes and hugs really are my strength - I KNOW that I will get through this and come out just fine, seriously - your cards are a big reason why. From the bottom of my Heart... Hubby's heart and all the donkeys :0), Thank you so much for bringing me so much joy in such a trying time. - You are all so wonderful - "

Welcome to our "Kickin' It for Michelle" Card Drive

We would like to share some sad news today, some of you may already know from her blog, our design team member Michelle had an accident about two weeks ago, which has left her with the loss of her right eye and a long road of recovery ahead. In an effort to cheer her up and raise awareness for what happened to Michelle we are holding a card drive in her honor. We have many generous companies and individuals helping us with this special card drive and we hope you will help too!

We are asking that everyone please create a card in dedication to Michelle and mail it off to her. We would love nothing more than to flood her mailbox with well wishes from around the world. Michelle has shared so much of herself on her blog and in her design team work and this is a just a small way for us to give back to her.

Please mail your cards to:
