Welcome! I'm so excited to be a part of the amazing blog hop for Operation Julie’s Smile. If you came here from
Taylor's blog, then you are in the right spot. If not, you may want to start from the beginning at the
Sweet Stamp Shop’s blog and take your time. You have ALL WEEKEND to hop with us and win prizes!
The next stop on the blog hop is
Monika Davis!!
Here is some background on what this blog hop is all about! Julie Ranae is the design team coordinator for many wonderful companies from bakers twine, die cuts, rubber stamps and more. What many people don’t know about Julie Ranae is that she has had some pretty major dental surgeries in her lifetime due to medication she had to take as a child. It was in her plans to think about having all of her teeth replaced at some point in the next 5 years, a decision that was pretty easy to plan out. But then it happened…she chipped her front teeth on a weekend a month ago. The dentist told her there was no way to save them & that it was his recommendation that she give in and have them all her teeth removed soon, but for that day, they needed to get her front teeth done so her gums could begin to heal. He said he would 'work out payments with her to have ALL this work done...but when she called to make her appt for the first step of impressions, they told her the amount of money that was needed and that the 'payments' applied only to the two teeth that were extracted that day. Her husband Paul was with her & that too, was his understanding as well. So this is how she has found herself in this situation…Needing at least $4000 to get started and another $3000 to finish the process…a total of $7000.
Nicole Rixon, owner of Sweet Stamp Shop put together this benefit after finding out about this situation and before Julie Ranae knew it, it took flight! Because she is an event organizer by trade, she has taken on the job of organizing all of the blogs in this hop as her way of ‘working overtime’ for what she needs, the same as if she were able to work overtime at an outside job to pay for the work to be done. It is the goal of all of these generous friends & sponsors to help make this situation more do-able for our friend so that she can share a brand new smile with all of us soon. If there is anything you can do to help with a financial donation, there is a donation button ready for you to click. Any amount is appreciated and ALL DONATIONS will be eligible for prizes from our sponsor pool of over $2500.
My card features stamps from
Sweet 'n Sassy, this set is called
Sew Happy. The design paper is from Jillibean Soup. I used this stamp set because of the sweet sentiment on friendship. I know you may hear this a lot but the craft community really is one of the best out there. I love that so many people have come together to help out a friend. Please try to give, even if it's a small amount, to help Julie out of this difficult financial situation.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit, I hope you enjoyed your stay! The next stop is Monika's blog. Make sure you leave a comment here before you go so that you can have a chance at the amazing prizes up for grabs!!
