Courage, Strength, Hope - May {ippity} Release!

I don't know about you, but I need something to celebrate this week.  Work has been quite the challenge  adventure.

So, to continue my goal of ever increasing bliss (yes, it's a stretch goal), I just stayed focused on the things that I enjoy.

One of which is creating beautiful things.  

And, of course, we all know that Unity stamps makes creating beautiful things so much easier.  If you haven't seen their release this week, go check it out.  It's pretty amazing and I'm going to be finding myself pretty broke and eating lots of Ramen and $1 pasta next week!

The card above is using an {ippity} set that is releasing tonight!  Among several others....Like, right now!

Courage is my strength

I want to digress a little and talk about this release and what it means to me...and what it means to the stamp artist.  This release is focused on strength and courage and living life to the fullest.  The artist, Dana Carlson, was inspired by her mother's struggle with cancer....and how admirably and elegantly she is facing it.  This release is personal to me because of my daughter's wonderful grandmother who fought an exceptional battle with cancer across more than a decade before humbly laying down her sword.  I can't even express in words what courage I saw, what spirit she had, and how gracefully she faced all that she encountered.

I don't think I have it in me to be such a woman.

OKAY....so snapping myself back to the task at hand....

If you are just visiting (because you love my silly little doggies and wonderful prose about this and that) because you are interested in my life, then you might not know about the release...happening RIGHT NOW.  And you might want to tour around the other blogs also participating because there's lots of pretty stuff out there! 

One of the great things about the release night is the sales!  They are always tremendous. So, if you loved the images as much as I do, are totally inspired by all the beautiful projects you're hopping through, then you'll want to purchase them soon, because after that...well.....YIKES!  So go visit Unity's website and start shopping!

SOOOOO, want to see more beautiful things?

Start HERE to start from the beginning of the hop.  But if you're hopping along already, then go visit, Susan, who has some more {ippity} wonderfulness to show you!  Click the link below!
