I'll admit, this is a shameless promotion of the newest kit in my store, but it's for a REALLY good cause.... The kit? "Gift for a Friend" and here it is... please read my product description! And then check the kit out for yourself in my store HERE (http://www.scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=16391)

Sincerely touched... the only two words that can describe how I felt when I received this gift from some of my dearest friends in this designing community, The Sunshine Girls. The gift came in response to a request that I had for my birthday. Instead of a gift card for some digi goodies, I asked my dear friends to contribute to a small fund that I had started for a friend of mine. A friend who had recently lost her dh to the war in Iraq. it wasn't the first first friend that my husband and I have lost to this war, unfortunately it will in all likelihood not be the last. But each time we lose a friend we try and support the family as best we can, and I thought it the least that I could do to send her a small something from me and my dear friends.

In response to my request, not only did these wonderful designers send me my gift to forward on to my friend, they also surprised me with this GORGEOUS kit to sell and to raise even more money for her and her children. Sincerely touched...and why I named the kit what I did... a gift FROM friends, to support and give a gift to another friend, isn't that what it's all about?

The proceeds of the sale of this kit, will go to my dear friend and her 5 children and after that gift is sent, will be set aside for a rainy day when perhaps such a gift might be needed once again. Let's all hope that it's set aside for quite awhile shall we?

Included in this BEAUTIFUL GIFT:

*34 GORGEOUS solid, patterned and textured papers
*Just under 60 beautifully designed Elements including bows, brackets, frames, flowers, tags, jewels, stitches,
wires, WordArt, ribbons, swirls, doodles, buckles, buttons and so much more!
*5 .PNG sheets of coordinating Glitter
*2 COMPLETE alphas, (one "clean" and one "grungy") uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation (English
+ foreign language alpha characters included!)
*6 Stunning 12x12 Quick Pages created by "Flergs" to coordinate with this kit!
*2 Beautiful pieces of Coordinating WordArt from Bethany at Elegant WordArt!

All together over 300 MB of gorgeous digi scrapping "stuff" (broken down into 8 easy to download zip files). A wonderful price and a wonderful gift for YOU to give!

Aloha my friends!

Again, you can find the kit HERE (http://www.scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=16391)

This is the link for the MEGA kit, but the kit itself (no quick pages or word art) and the Quick Pages are offered separately!

Oh, how wonderful! Sorry to hear about your friend. This is a great way to support her though!

And it's not shameless advertising when you are doing it for a cause!

Shauna please give my sincerest condolences to your friend. I think it's wonderful how everyone is stepping up to support those who have lost loved ones in this war. Payday is Monday, and I sincerely hope that this kit will still be available then, as I would love to purchase it.

I really really really want this, I just need to make sure I have enough money in my checking account. :) It's gorgeous and what a wonderful thing to do for your friend. My brother is in the AirForce and we've been very fortunate that he has not been sent to Iraq.

What a wonderful thing to do for a friend. I was very touched by your story. Especially since my DH retired from the US Army a year ago and had been through Desert Shield/Desert Storm and in Kuwait after 9/11. I'm off to purchase this gorgeous gift to show my support for such a great cause.
