Cherished

My daughter was getting ready for work this morning, and I was listening to the news...I usually like to catch the weather even though they can be 60% wrong and never worry about losing their job.  I heard a local story that this morning a 30 year old Mother stabbed her 6 year old daughter and she was taken to a local hospital for surgery and the Mother had self inflicted stab wounds.    Now I hope that poor girl doesn't have to tell what she did on her summer vacation.  As parents we all have stress, but that woman needs some serious help. I can't imagine how much therapy that child is going to need.

My first card is using this week's Mojo sketch and Anniversary color scheme.  I used a TLC, Create sentiment for this.  My second card is for the Kenny K Sun, Sea and Sand Challenge.  The sentiment is from TLC, Create and can be found here.  And my third card is for Sweet Stop using a sentiment that I just love from  TLC, Create called "Be Different".
