So many people have been providing needs for the twin boys we just took in (3 years old being kept in a room, very little food, not a lot of human contact, their little brains are at about a year and a half) so I needed to make quite a few thank yous. I still need to make a bunch more, but with the boys my stamp time is very little. We got them in July and this is the first month I've had a chance. The boys were like wild animals - didn't know their names or when they were being spoken to, or simple commands. Still on bottles and in diapers. They do not eat normal food - it causes them to gag... My world has been turned upside down. SCS has been my escape - looking at all the BEAUTIFUL and SO CREATIVE cards is very soothing. I bet you can agree. Ü

Beautiful work with the brayering!! Your card is lovely!! Thank you for the wonderful love you are showing your foster children! What a blessing. I know what you mean - just looking at cards on SCS or getting a moment to make a card can be so relaxing.

Your card is so beautiful. Thank God for wonderful people like you - those young boys are so fortunate to have someone like your family. We have twin boys and I could cry reading your story.

Your card is beautiful and so tranquil. It, however, does not compare to the beauty in the heart of the person who created it. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family, and the twins. I am the grandmother of triplets and cannot imagine anything as ugly in their lives as the boys have suffered.

Becky, so glad you found some therapy time. OMG this is so sad to think that anyone could treat helpless babies that way and still look at themselves in a mirror. Thank God for people like you willing to open your homes and your heart to them. I am so glad they were not separated. That would have only added to their inabilities to become functional humans. God bless you and your family.
BTW this card is totally awesome.
