BCA has gone Donate Life this month!

You heard right!   We changed the Breast Cancer Awareness Freebie to a Donate Life Freebie this month! :)

April is Donate Life Month

Christine has had a 
heart transplant

to Organ Donation
and support her cause!

Thanks so much Sue for doing this image for this month. I'm so sorry that I didn't get time to work on one but I will be making something with it in the very near future!

I was so happy to hear about all the lovely comments you got. I so wish I could use the svg files. I'm hoping to get an Eclipse soon which I think uses svg then I'll be able to use all the fun files!!!
