She Was a Dragon Slayer

I was busy this weekend making more she art. This Thursday is my friend Carol's birthday. I made a she art to represent how I feel about her that I will give to her.

She is a dragon slayer.

A few years ago. she was diagnosed with three kinds of breast cancer with one being the most aggressive and least treatable of all breast cancer types. She became my hero then. I have never known anyone more focused, stronger, more determined than she was in her year long battle to over come the disease.

Every woman she knew joined together to form what we called her support group. Each week, we met to share in crafting projects or just to talk and laugh. We did whatever it took to take her mind off of her ailment as much as we could. We cooked for her family, we took her to doctors visits, we took her to get her hair shaved, we were there for whatever she needed. In return, we witnessed her amazing strength and joie de vivre. She gave us much more than we were ever able to give back to her.

With her amazing faith in God and the strength He provided, she is healed. That is truly remarkable.


Plum and Ivory is her fave combo of colors.
