May There Always Be Sunshine

(At the end of this post is an offer for you to get a free product from my shop)

What is your worst nightmare?  If you are a parent it is probably some harm coming to your child.  Kamden's parents have realized their worst nightmare... their two year old baby girl Kamdyn (Kami) is being treated for cancer.  The amazing thing about the digital scrapbooking community is the genorosity of designers and scrappers when there is a need.  The kit May There Always Be Sunshine is a charity collab, and is being sold for only $5.  100% of the funds earned on the collab will go straight to Kami's parents and will go toward costs associated with Kami's care that are not covered by insurance.  The parents have to stay in a hotel when Kami is undergoing treatment in the hospital that isn't near their home.  You can imagine how expenses add up. We all know that insurance doesn't cover everything no matter what kind of treatment people receive much less expensive cancer treatments.  This is a very difficult time for a young family.   May There Always Be Sunshine is a chance for us to bring a little bit of sunshine to the lives of Kami's parents as they watch their beautiful baby girl fight cancer. 



Oh I just can't imagine the feelings I would be experiencing if one of my babies were battling cancer, and I was caring for them as they dealt with all of that.  It breaks my heart that parents go through this with their children.

 Would you like to help out?  If so you can purchase the super cute  May There Always Be Sunshine Charity Collab Kit!   
It is only $5!
The kit is packed with amazing goodies from 11 different designers (including yours truly).  Go take a closer look at this kit HERE.  This is one amazingly beautiful kit!  You may also go to Kami's blog and find out more about the little sweetie.  There is also a donate button on the blog if you'd like to help in that way as well.

To say thank you for purchasing May There Always Be Sunshine I have a free product offer for you!  If you purchase May There Always Be Sunshine or Make at least a $5 donation on Kami's blog I would like to offer you a free product from my shop.  All you have to do is forward/email me your invoice or receipt and I will email you a coupon for a free product from my shop.  (As a digi-scrap designer I receive all kinds of invoices and treat my customers information with respect.  I will handle the one you send me with the utmost of care and delete it as soon as I send you your free coupon.).  My email address is amyp185 [at] yahoo dot com.

I purchased May There Always Be Sunshine from Digiridoo.  The kit was offered to me for free as a collab contributor, but I decided to purchase it so the funds would go to little Kami.  When I made my purchase I also received the Digirdoo site collab as a gift with purchase- for free!  I'm really excited that I got DRS' cute collab!  Isn't this so cute?
That is a lot of product for supporting Kami!  Check it out:

1) You can purchase May There Always Be Sunshine for$5,
2) receive the site collab Tranquility,
and then
3) get a free product from my shop also!   

That is quite the deal all for supporting a sweet little sick baby.  I do hope you can help in this way!  (I also want to remind you can donate more at Kami's blog.) I hope you can spread the word and tell all your friends so Kami's parents can get a nice little gift from the digital scrapbooking community.  If you are unable to make the purchase I hope you send up a little prayer for Kami's healing and for her parents strength.  Thank you my friends!  Thank you so much for helping out this little girl and her mommy and daddy.

Whether you participate or not; I hope you all have a wonderful day on Thursday on the U.S. Thanksgiving.  I am thankful for all of you my digi-friends!
Hugs!

The newest thing on my wish list

It is not scrapping related, but I have a new item on my wish list
It is called a foot spa, and I think it looks amazing (and would look amazing on my porch lol)
They start at like $2750, so it will remain on my wish list for.... hmm quite awhile, but a girl can wish right?

I had a lovely hour to myself just now and went to a craft bazaar.   It was beautiful all decorated in Christmas and Thanksgiving items.  There is something about looking at the handiwork of others that feed the soul.  I think that is why I love scrapping too!

Thanks for letting me share my newest wish with you :)
Hugs to you!

Have you heard of "Scrapers Give Thanks?"

Have you heard of "Scrapers Give Thanks?"
It is a project that you can be involved in as a scrapbooker.  This year Scrapers Give Thanks is asking scrapbookers to make 4x6 cards to children in hospitals to give them a little love and cheer.

If you decided to participate you will be entered to win a wacom tablet and a lot of other really great things.  I know I would participate to make the day of a child even without a chance to win, but I'm crossing my fingers that I am the lucky winner :)

You can find more info and sign up here: Scrappers Give Thanks

Here is the first card I made
