Miracle Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by for this very special Blog Hop. I want to take Melissa for letting me be a part of this hop :)

If you came from Melissa's Blog then you are in the right place! She is also the beginning of the hop, so if  you missed her blog, please go back and visit her blog and read her story.

It has taken me a while to write this post, I can't seem to get the wording right, on what I want to say..but I want you to know that this family will always have a special spot in my heart.

I knew right away that I wanted to participate in this blog hop. I wanted to be able to help celebrate Ethan's (Melissa's son) 1 year since his Transplant. I can't believe how much this little guy has been through in the last two years. For a few weeks I pondered what Miracle I wanted to share with you for this hop. I finally decided to ask Melissa if I could make my project for Ethan. I felt compelled to make my project for him. When Melissa started to organize this hop, it was just a couple of days before Christmas. Then I was saddened to hear that on Christmas Day Ethan got very sick and had to be taken to the hospital which is where he still is. I knew that I should make him my focus, so that I could honor him on this special day. Melissa is the most amazing mom! I have been reading her daily Facebook updates on her little boy and their entire family has been through SO much during this hospital stay as well as the last couple of years. She has so much strength and love for her family.

Here is the book I made for Ethan :)

Supplies:

Cardstock

Sesame Street Font and Elmo's Party Cartridge

Gypsy

Cricut

Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook program for words

Stampin' Up markers

Bind it All and Wires

ATG gun

Valentine Card Hop For Cancer Patients February 4-5 Day 2

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the Valentine Card Hop for Cancer Patients!

I want to thank our hostess Mindy letting me participate in this wonderful Blog Hop!

If you came from Doris' Blog, then you are in the right place! If you would like to start at the beginning of this hop, then head over to Mindy's Blog!

Thanks for stopping by for Day 2:) Everyone in this hop is making Valentine's Cards to send to St. Judes to be given to the patients! If you would like to send Valentine's Day card as well, here is the address we will be sending ours to.

Attn: Vilma Carnahan

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
595 North Parkway
Memphis, TN 38105

I think this is a wonderful idea :) When I was younger I started reading books by Lurlene McDaniels who wrote about kids with cancer or other life changing diseases. SO I have always had a soft spot for sick kids. I have always tried to learn more about cancer and other childhood diseases. When I was old enough I volunteered at a local hospital and helped out on the Oncology floor during one summer.

For todays card I made Minnie Mouse, who doesn't love Disney :) I have always loved Disney since I was little and probably will forever! I LOVE the way this card turned out :) I should have used my Imagine to print the polka dot paper but didn't feel like hooking it up, so I just used my Polka Dot stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Supplies:

Cricut

ATG gun

Stampin' Dimensionals

Zig Two Way glue pen

Stamp- from Michaels

Diamond Stickles

Mickey and Friends Cartridge

Cardstock

Distress Ink (Black Soot) and Blender

LargePolka Dot Stamp-Peachy Keen Stamps

StazOn Jet Black Ink

Please leave a comment below to win 2 bottles of Stickles. One winner will be chosen using Random.org. You will have until February 10th to enter.

For my Valentine's cards I wanted to make Mickey and Minnie, so Today you will see Mickey and tomorrow Minnie. I choose this die cut of Mickey and Pluto because my little boy loves Mickey and Pluto and can't wait to go to Mickey and Pluto's house whenever he finally gets to go to Disneyland :) I am sure someone at St. Judes will love Mickey and Pluto as much as my son does :)
