IVF Cards & Encouragement

Quickie Post :-)

I think I mentioned that I plan to open an Etsy shop in the near future & am still currently working out the logistics and what not.

Since I am constantly looking at whats out there, naturally I like to see the creative items for sale under the IVF Tag. I came across this cute card and it spoke to me on so many levels.

Anyway here is the card, isn't it spot on?

This is NOT my image or my item
