Yesterday night I stumbled upon Becca's blog with a unique challenge and special blog hop"
Hop to Stop " promoting
awareness about domestic violence. Many of us have first hand experience about it and being a doctor I see far too many victims of domestic violence. Every month I see cases of ear drum perforation and ladies losing their hearing [albeit temporarily] as a result of being hit by their husband .The sad part is that majority of the women don't complain. Even educated and financially independent ladies take the abuse as if its normal. It is a topic which raises my shackles and I could go on and on but then....

sour and sweet grapes...life after all does deal one sourness and sweetness...we just have to muster courage to deal with the sour situations!
On a lighter note...my grapes are made from lightweight clay and varnished to give a glistening shine!
On one of my steps is another cute fairy sitting peacefully on a cherry blossom branch!
This was my first attempt at making a block card and I love how it folds flat for mailing. This card was inspired by
