Halloween Spooktacular Banners for Special Needs Kids Blog Hop Sept. 1st-3rd

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the Halloween Spooktacular Banners for Special Needs Kids Blog Hop Sept. 1st-3rd! This is my 2nd year participating in this Halloween Hop! I have also enjoyed making banners throughout this last year for this special group of kids!!! I am honored to be part of this hop with some very special ladies!

If you came from Jenny's Blog then you are in the right place!
If you would like to start at the beginning of this hop then go to our lovely hostess Ellen's Blog!

Welcome to the annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!
I am delighted to join with more than 3 dozen other women who have each made at least one Halloween-themed banner that will be donated to hang in the room of a medically-fragile child at Pediatric Specialty Care in Pennsylvania.
Our Hop Hostess (Ellen CardMonkey Jarvis) works at PSC’s Bucks County site as Admissions Coordinator. The Banner Hop starts there, so please be sure to circle back to the beginning to see all of the terrific banners have been made for these very special children.

Ellen shared this information with us about Pediatric Specialty Care: “PSC is a very special place where children stay either long- or short-term, typically after hospitalization. Most are dependent on ventilators and other technology to survive. Some have been born too early or with genetic diseases or birth injuries. Other children suffer injuries later in life that require constant care later, including brain injuries from trauma or loss of oxygen (from choking, suffocation or drowning) and spinal cord injuries.

These children and their families -- and PSC’s staff -- will be thrilled to receive the Halloween banners, to help brighten the season when their friends and siblings will be out trick-or-treating.”


This Hop is two days (Saturday, September 1 and Sunday, September 2), and on each day you will see different banners. Be sure to visit on both days to see the truly inspirational work of these generous bloggers, and leave some love (comments) on as many sites as you can – because if you do, you can up your chances to win some Spooktacular blog candy!

I have been loving tulle lately and knew I wanted to use it for my banner. I decided to use some dark purple paper and run it through my crimper to use as the background then I used white tulle on top of that and the black letters I ran through the cuttlebug to give it some cute spots! I then tied the banner together and then added pink bows using the fabulous bow maker from 3 Girl Jam.

Here are some different pics of the banner! I hope it will make a sweet little girl happy! :)
