Created by Katie Cotton: Rest in Peace, Kayleigh

Today is a sad day. Sweet baby girl, Kayleigh Freeman, left our world yesterday to be rid of her broken body and to at peace in Heaven. For those who do not know Kayleigh's story. You can read about her life, here.

You may remember a post I made a bit back showing a digital stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps called "A Fairy for Kayleigh". This stamp was created in order to raise funds for the Freeman family. The digital stamp is still available here and all proceeds from it will continue to go to the Freeman family.

I had a card ready to post this morning, but you'll have to see it tomorrow. Of course, upon hearing of Kayleigh's passing I wanted to make a sympathy card to send to her parents. It was a very hard card to make. But lucky for me, all of the ink on my card is waterproof.

I have no more words that I can even write. My heart is absolutely broken for this family. I can not even begin to fathom what they might be going thru. I pray for God's arms to surround them at this time.

Rest in Peace, Baby Girl.

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!

Tracey, Tuesday, May 12, 2009: I can't believe it. So incredibly sad! I can't imagine. My heart goes out to the Freeman family.
Randee E, Tuesday, May 12, 2009: How very very sad. As a parent I can't even imagine how it must hurt. I hope they are in some small way comforted by knowing that Kayleigh and their story touched more hearts than they will ever know! And Katie, you should be comforted in knowing that you helped make that happen. Just think how many parents will now appreciate more the gifts of life that God has given them. I know I will.
