I am really excited to be participating in the first blog hop for the fabulous Michelle Perkett Studios! I am also very honored to have been named a member of her design team! This hop features the gorgeous Wishing Star Angel and also each designer will have the Christmas wish that they would make for someone else listed on their posting. You should have arrived from Tammy's blog, and after me you will head to Ellen's blog. Be sure to visit all of the blogs and leave a little love. when you are finished go to the Michelle Perkett Studio Challenge Blog, follow the directions and get a little gift! If you get lost, head back to the beginning at the Michelle Perkett Studio page at Paper Craft Planet (and if you don't belong to her group, sign up!)
My Christmas wish is for my sweet nephew Will-Will. Will is 8 years old and is a very special little boy. When he was 5 months old, he was diagnosed with an extremely rare neurological disorder called liscencephaly. Children with this disease are profoundly retarded and usually don't survive past 2 years old. He can't
walk or talk, and has severe seizures. But he brings so much joy to me and my family with his sweet spirit. I was talking to a friend last week, and she said she believes babies are born not able to talk, because they've been in heaven with God - and we could not even comprehend the Glory of God that they would be able to share. That's what I always think about Will- that he smiles because he has a direct link to Jesus. So my wish and prayer would be for Will's seizures to stop and for him to be able to do things that he's never done, and some things that he just hasn't done in a long time. I also would wish peace and joy for my sister Lori. She is such a strong and amazing woman, and often people don't realize all that she has on her plate, but I love her and admire her.Now, that I have tears streaming down my face, I can tell you that this card is not only my card for the hop, but for a ton of other challenges as well.

I absolutely love your card with the colors and the distressing (which is one of my fave techniques!), but it is that beautiful photo and your heart touching wish that have touched me more than words can say. I will say prayers for all of you. and what a grand thing to think, that those who can't speak here have conversed with Jesus - that is wonderful! :)
Super card - love all the distressed edges - thanks for taking part in the Kaboodledoodle challenge.
What a beautiful little boy! Your card is stunning, love all the detail you've put into it

Oh Gina- what a beautiful little boy and wishes for him and his family. Your card is stunning! Congrats on the team - you are so talented! I love forward to more!
What an amazing card and your wish has brought tears streaming down my face!! I believe that God does send special Angels into our lives for some reason even when that reason may not be known!! So BEAUTIFUL Gini!!!!
Your card is amazing. Wishing Will a happy and healthy Christmas.
What a great card. I love the coloring. Your wish has me grabbing for the tissues. what a cutie.
Beautiful card, just gorgeous.
I want you to know that I share the same belief as your friend and always have. What a wonderful blessing your nephew is to those around him. I am constantly reminded that those with the most 'right' to complain, are the strongest, happiest and most blessed among us.
Gini, I love this card soooo much! Love the distressing tecnique and the papers you chose. I especially love the way you colored Michelle's angel. Your wish is so beautiful and I too believe that children are closer to God than adults. I pray that Will's seizures stop.
love
Pattie
Im trying to stop crying long enough,what a special little boy,and though he has some problems thank god he put him her maybe to make us a little better as people we all think we have it hard and all we have to do is look at sweet children like will and think no they do but they still smile.Love your card Gini TFS
You know how much I adore you, you're the best sister in the world. Will is lying next to me in the bed right now, SMILING and we have not had a seizure since last night...thank you to all who have prayed for him...God is Good.
Gini your artwork is beautiful as always...I love you.
Great card love the layers.
I love your sentiment for babies and special children. I always think that parents with children with disabilities and serious medical conditions are blessed as god has bestowed his most special children with them as he knows they will be cared for and loved
