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

Cricut
Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook program for words
