Almost There!!

Hey All!! First off I would like to say sorry for being MIA, I haven't been designing or scrapping the last couple of month because there has been lots going on personally. =D I just wanted to pop in and let you know the update for the Hartman family adoption (Hartman Family Blog) which the designers at STS teamed up to support with BRADY . So the great news is that the Hartman's are currently awaiting travel dates (which is the last step before they can go get their little guy!!!) So to celebrate and to help contribute to the last bit of funds they need to fly to Eastern Europe....I've put my entire store on sale for 50% off!!! So not only will the sales from BRADY but everything else that is purchased will go straight to their adoption fund. So don't wait head on over to the STORE and help out this sweet family go rescue Brady!! (Sale ends 4/13)

This weeks release is super special to me!! This kit is not just any ordinary kit; it is for an amazing cause and an amazing little guy that needs a family, a home, and someone to love and care for him. Our good friends, the Hartman family, are in the process of adopting the sweet boy below. They feel called to rescue this little boy "Brady" from a mental institution in Eastern Europe. Because he has Downs Syndrome, Brady was abandoned at birth, just like the majority of children with any sort of disabilities in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. lt is standard procedure when these children turn between 4-6 years old (depending on region) that they are transferred from Orphanages to full blown Mental Institutions. This transfer is very traumatic, and many times these children suffer and sometimes die due to the conditions. Brady has already been transferred and The Hartmans are trying to get to him as quickly as possible. So I told this sweet family that I would ask the girls at "Stuff to Scrap" to Help!! The cost of this adoption is well between $20,000- $30,000 and so we just want to be able to contribute a little toward that huge amount. The amazing designers at "Stuff to Scrap" have put together an awesome collaboration that can be used to donate to this great cause. All proceeds from the sell of *Brady* goes directly to the Hartman's adoption fund.
