Hop For Lauryn

I am so sorry for not being on time but I have been really struggling to get the code to copy to my blog. Not to mention I also had it in my brain and on my calendar that the hop was on the 16th. Please accept my sincerest apologies!!

Isn't this little girl just precious? Let me introduce you....
Lauryn was diagnosed with Leukemia on March 27, 2014. She is currently hospitalized in the DC area undergoing chemotherapy to fight this terrible disease.  Lauryn is Linda Payne's granddaughter...many of you in the stamping community probably already know sweet Linda!

As news of Lauryn's illness spread via social media, many of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help, so we have come up with a plan. We decided to have a Card Drive and would like to invite YOU to help by sending "happy mail" to Lauryn and her family.

Please create cards to share your love and encouragement for Lauryn and her family. Lauryn's parents are Josh and Elizabeth and she has two older siblings: Lily and Logan. We thank the Lord for this dear family and need to pray for them as they are seeking to glorify the Lord throughout this trial. 

Cards can be mailed to:

Children's National
Hematology/Oncology RM 437
Lauryn Newsome
111 Michigan Ave NW
Washington DC 20010

You can find updates on Lauryn via a Facebook page that has been set up by some family. It is Fight on Little Lauryn. They have shared how encouraging it is receive a simple "like" on a Facebook status or words of love and encouragement that is posted.
Here is the fabulous group of bloggers who have joined us in promoting this Card Drive. We would love for you to hop with us as numerous bloggers have blog candy and all you need to do is leave a comment...

    Not to worry, looks like my day is filled with mishaps!!! Here is another thing I noticed:

    Duh Me here, I checked everybody’s link but mine. It is wrong on everyone’s blog. It is showing as: http://cardartetc.blgospot.com/ and you get “Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.” The correct link is:

    http://cardartetc.blogspot.com

    Hugs and thanks for your help with this. :-)
