Joslyn's Fund

I wanted to quickly share something with you today! Look at this amazing pile of hand-stamped creations!

There is a family at my church with a little girl named Joslyn. Joslyn suffers from a chromosome disorder, and is the only person known to have this diagnosis in the United States. You can read more about Joslyn here, and about a benefit being held next Saturday to raise funds for Joslyn's care and this benefit includes a silent auction.

So I had an idea, and just about 3 weeks ago, I sent an email out to some of the most diva-licious stampers around and asked for their help in creating a gift basket full of stunning creations. And these stamping divas responded with incredible generosity, as you can see from the photo! My daughter Kelsey called me at work on the first day that packages started arriving wanting to know if it was National Send-Stuff-to-Tammy Day! Oh my word... each day felt like Christmas, to open these envelopes and packages and marvel over the amazing creations from some of the most talented ladies in the stamping world! I was totally blown away by the outpouring of support! I'm not sure yet how I'm going to have them displayed, as there are so many more than I anticipated, but I'll come up with something. These cards will be on their way to Grandpa's Cheese Barn where the auction will be held during the benefit next week. I hope there is a lot of money raised as a result (a sentiment echoed by many in the notes that were included with the cards and the emails I received!)

Many, many thanks to...

Forty-six stampers, and a whopping total of 175 cards and two 3-D projects!

Many, many blessings to all of you for being so generous and helping me with this project! Please keep Joslyn in your prayers, and prayers for good weather next Saturday during the benefit and a lot of money raised for Joslyn's Fund!

Have a great weekend!
