Send a Kid a Smile & Bugaboo Stamps!

Happy Birthday to ME!  

Yep, CELEBRATING another WONDERFUL Year with special family and friends!!

Today, I'm also celebrating all the wonderful, healthy little people in my life.

There are so many families that struggle every day with a sick child in there life which makes my heart ache.

HOWEVER, there is a fabulous blog called "Send a Smile 4 Kids"

Send A Smile 4 Kids is a charitable blog created for the purpose of collecting donated handmade cards to be distributed to children while they are inpatient at Children’s Hospitals. Currently we are donating them to the Children’s Hospitals in Neenah and Milwaukee, WI, University of Iowa Children's Hospital, Iowa City, IA, Blank Children's Hospital, Des Moines, IA, Sandford Children's Hospital, Sioux Falls, SD, and to the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia and Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, in Canada.   On any given day, there are many children inpatient in these hospitals so we would love to receive as many cards as you can send to cheer them and their families. The kids may also use your cards as Thank You Notes to the nurses and doctors and to give to parents or relatives on special days like birthdays or Mothers or Fathers Day.

TODAY, we are supporting the Send A Smile 4 Kids Christmas Card Drive!!

I love this little Polar Bear - he's PERFECT for every little kiddo!

Today is also an Anything Goes Challenge at The Bug Blog, so why not join in and support this wonderful card drive and play along with our challenge too!
