Survivor

Good morning everyone, here is my entry for the Spellbinders blog contest. Recently a good friend to my family was diagnosed with breast cancer and as since had her breast removed, she is a survivor and is an inspiration to us all. But that is not the end of my story , my mother-in-law was also diagnosed with cancer and my uncle had something so up on a brain scan. So this card is for them . Ten years ago my oldest sister died from brain cancer and it was hard for me to understand why but I am a survivor, all families that have had a family member die because of cancer is a survivor. So this card is also to all the families and friends that have lost a love one and remember we are survivors and are that much stronger because of it. I hope that you enjoy looking, I enjoyed creating:}

I am going to fill it with Hersey Kisses for my husband.
I hope that he likes it, I had a lot of fun making it. The wooden buttons are from my stash, my mother-in-law gave the to me, I added them to the bottom to add a little something to the sides. I am going to make a couple of more, my moms birthday is the 10th of February and my mother-in-laws birthday is the 10th of March. I think that these are cutest boxes ever and just love them.
