My inspiration for this card came from Ike's Art and the image is called New Baby.

| New Baby |
When I first saw this image, it looked like a gift from God..and the most generous gift of all is a new baby. I combined the New Baby image with a sentiment from Decosse Dynamite doodles to come up with my finished card.
I have been very fortunate in my life. I have a healthy son, a good job and we live comfortably. I know that there are not as many as fortunate as I have been and I try to remember that. I volunteer my time when I can, and donate to worthy causes. This year I started donating some of my cards to cards for hospitalized kids and also hope to donate some to Operation Write Home which is an organization that collects cards for military to use and keep in touch with their loved ones. I try to live my life with a generous heart and count my blessings every day.
I hope that I have inspired you to join us!! There still is plenty of time and don't forget to share with us your meaning of Generosity.
