the giving project - cards 19-22 [32]

i've found that as much as i enjoy making these cards.. there is NOT enough time in the day for me to craft the way that i would like to. also... there are just too many things to make cards for... :) here are the three i made tonight. i spent about 2.5 hours making these three cards. 

/edit/ i wrote the above paragraph 2 days ago, and just never published. the last card, number 22, was made a few weeks ago. :)

THE GIVING PROJECT - CARD #15 
this card is for a co-worker. she recently found a lump in her throat area. she is in the process of figuring out what it could be. her friendship has been invaluable for me at work.
