Songbird Avenue & Cystic Fibrosis

Some of you may know already that my daughter, Kaytelynn, has Cystic Fibrosis so this post is very near and dear to my heart. Pure happiness for me would be that they find a cure for CF!

Songbird Avenue has teamed up with Two Sisters Designs, Angela and Emily Powers, for September's kit called "Autumn Woods". 100% of this month's profits will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The kit is only available for the month of September so grab it now!!


From the Songbird Avenue site:

SEPTEMBER 2008: AUTUMN WOODS $8.00

Every kit that we work on at Songbird Avenue is special, and this kit is no exception. We are happy to present "Autumn Woods". Created with love by Angela Powers, Emily Powers, Jan Crowley and Janet Phillips. Funds raised (minus paypal fees) from this kit will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.


From the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website:

“The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a nonprofit donor-supported organization, is to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. It funds and accredits more than 115 CF care centers, 95 adult care programs and 50 affiliate programs, and has 80 chapters and branch offices nationwide.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is one of the most efficient organizations of its kind with 90 percent of every dollar of revenue raised being available to fund cystic fibrosis research, care and education programs. In fact, Charity Navigator, the country's largest independent evaluator of charities, has given the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation its coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management. The National Institutes of Health and many prominent publications, including Forbes and USAToday, have heralded our innovative business model, which fuels drug discovery and development programs.”

Wandering Around Scrapland - 9/4/08

I have been wandering around scrapland and happened upon several fantastic sites that I am going to link you all up to!

First up, if you haven’t noticed in my side bar, there are links of all kinds. I would like for you to notice “Custom Blog Headers & Design” section.

I personally create headers and such for blogs but I am not a techy person so assisting with installing them isn't my thing. If you would like for me to create a header and labels for you, contact me! Since all of my products are S4H/S4O Friendly, you are more than welcome to use my designs to create custom blog headers/designs for personal use (non-commercial) blogs as long as the images are flattened and not in their original form.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
All I ask is that you give proper credit to me, the name of the kit used with a link back to my 3S store and that the product be purchased for each blog that it is to be used on.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
I’d love to link back to you if you do use one of my kits to decorate your blog! Email your link & blinkie to me! Oh my goodness, have I found some treats for you!!!!

Ummm, by the way, Shilo is only 17! Yep, you read that right! You must check out her most adorable blog! She is one talented gal! Pretty impressive!
Next on my wonderings, I found this site that had some fun scrapbook sayings! Check them out!

I grew up when Star Wars came out and remember vividly, pretending to be Princess Leia with a group of little friends. I still love Yoda and how he talks! I found a few fun sayings that are perfect for every day! Try them out on a layout or two of yours! If you do, link me up, I’d love to show your layout off on my blog!!!
A couple of quotes from QuoteMountain.com:

Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda

Always in motion is the future. -- Yoda

Continuing on my way, I found several spots for FREEBIE hunters!!!!! Notice, again I the side bar and scroll down a bit, you will see “Digital Scrapbooking Freebies” I will be happily listing the blinkies/links of fabulous freebie sites for you. So if you are ever in need of some freebie digi-scraps, you’ll have links to run to! Don’t forget, I love to give out freebies, so be sure to bookmark or subscribe to my blog so that you will be notified of when they get posted!!! Oh, and if you find a great freebie site, it would be super fabulous if you would link me up!!!

Well, that is it for now, I'm off to try and finish my newest “So Beary Fun” kit.
I can’t wait to show you!
