Countdown to Card-A-Thon

We are just a few days away from Ellie's Card-A-Thon and I am THRILLED with the response so far!!!  I have gotten many emails in the last few days with questions and requests for additional information, so here is an attempt to answer them:

If you can attend, the day will include the use of ALL my supplies - the leftover cardstock is just a starting point - all my embellishments, stamps, ink, punches, etc will also be available for use.  Throughout the day, I will be giving away door prizes, giving free demonstrations, and provide lots of snacks & drinks.  All you need to do is bring yourself, a friend, your kids, a stranger off the street (okay, maybe not) and come on in & stamp and enjoy yourself!!

If you cannot attend, I can make cards for you.  Here is a form where you can select from a few card choices, but you can always select ANY kind of card for any occasion.  You can fill out the form & get it to me, or just email me with your choices.  I will estimate the shipping to you and add that in to give you a total.  I'm estimating shipping to be approximately $2 for 10 cards and $3 for 20 cards.  Maximum shipping cost will be $4.60.

For each card made (by me or by you), $1 will be donated to Ellie.  Many of you have also said you would just like to make a donation.  If that is what you would like, please email me.  You can make the check directly out to Adam Vedra (Ellie's dad) and send it to me and I will pass them all on.

If you cannot participate at all financially, please know your prayers are still most important.  Ellie is getting better and it is because of your prayers and support.  In a recent post on the Vedra Family blog, Emily listed several praises & prayers for Ellie:

Prayers and Praises:
Praises:
-that Ellie has been healthy since she has been home
-thanksgiving for an unexpected monetary gift that will help us continue her therapies
-Ellie's continued improvement

Prayers:
-strength for the whole family to make it through each day
-protection from the colds and flu that is going around
-that Ellie will be able to hold up her own head soon

Keep praying!!!  And please contact me with any & all questions about the Card-A-Thon!!!

I think this is wonderful that you are doing this! I posted info on our Michigan Natural Parenting Community forum as well as blogged it on my family blog at http://hoguechronicle.com/misc/sweet-ellie-and-cool-cards/.

I'll be praying that you make your goal and God will show his overwhelming love for little Ellie!
