Today is the day....

... you can make a difference for a sweet 7 year old girl in my family. You see, just a few months ago, Maddison’s days were filled with gymnastics, attending 2nd grade and playing with her sister and dogs. Then, on November 18th, Maddison was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme Cancer.  Glioblastoma is a very rare and difficult to treat cancer.  While battling cancer is so extremely challenging already, the family has had to battle with the health insurance company to get coverage for the chemotherapy drugs Maddison’s oncologist has recommended. 

Hearing her story really touched my heart.  I wanted to help but live too far away to help in a direct way.   Because I express my feelings through art, I created a drawing inspired by Maddison and her love for animals and the zoo.  

​I’m offering this drawing to you as a free printable that you can use as a coloring page for your kids or a decorative print to hang on the wall of your child’s bedroom or baby’s nursery.  You can download the pdf file simply by clicking on the image below and print from your home computer or at local print shop.  
However, if you choose to download the printable, I ask that you please consider making a donation to Maddison’s gofundme campaign. Maddison is so strong and brave but she could really use a miracle right now.  The gofundme campaign will help pay for the overwhelming medical expenses.  Any donation will be appreciated!  Your donation will bring hope and make a difference.  
Thank you so much!

Love spending time at a cabin in the woods?

If you love spending time at a lake cabin or mountain cabin, raise your hand!  Nothing can rejuvenate us like spending time in the outdoors, connecting with nature and swimming in a lake.  Spending time at a cozy cabin allows us to reconnect with our family, reading books and playing games.  It is one of our family’s favorite ways to spend time! Since I enjoyed working on the bilingual memory game printables I recently launched in my new etsy shop, I was inspired to create a memory matching game that celebrates the simple joys of staying at a cabin with your family.  

I started with creating little doodles of woodland animals and illustrations of things that remind me of cozy cabins.  Living in the Pacific Northwest for so many years has given me plenty of inspiration!  From staying at historic fire lookouts on stilts to rustic cabins without any modern amenities to warming up in a beautiful ski lodge or log cabin, cabins are the best for creating lasting memories!  Working on these drawings would remind me of our special family memories and before I knew it, I had 24 unique designs!  

Cabin in the Woods Printable
I kept the designs as simple line drawings in black ink because I thought kids may like to color in the drawings themselves and have another fun activity to do besides playing the game. Plus, it makes it easy for us moms to print at home even if the color ink cartridge on your printer is out of ink!

Would love it if you check out my new “Cabin in the Woods" game printable as it has been a labor of love!  Here is the link to my new etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PresentsofLoveShop

Also, I would value your feedback on any other printable products you’d like me to create with a cabin theme.  Bookmarks?  Games for kids? Stationery?  Please leave me a comment and share your thoughts!  Thank you so much!
