Sunday Blog Hop for our Katie!
Today is a blog hop dedicated to our very own Katie. Katie is known on the Clear Dollar Stamps blog for her fabulous Tuesday Tutorials, and she has inspired us all with her talent and creativity.
Why a blog hop for Katie?
Katie has been diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. You can follow her story here on Katie's blog. Katie is journaling her journey and sharing it with us all. A very courageous and generous giving of herself to all of us who can find inspiration through her strength.
We love you Katie!
What are we doing to help Katie?
We, Katie's crafty family, have set up a blog just for her and our efforts to help her. The blog is called Help 4 Katie. When something like this hits a family, you just want to do something. Many, many have already helped Katie through our initial fund raising efforts at Jak Heath's blog. We thank you so much for all of your contributions to Katie. As we all know, medical treatment for cancer can be quite costly and we want to make sure that she has the absolute best! As of today, we are moving our efforts to a dedicated blog just for Katie.
What we have been doing is taking Digital Image donations from many generous artists in our crafting community, packaging them into a grouping, and then asking for a donation to receive these digi images. The first set of images come with a donation of $20, and are now available on Katie's new blog.
We have put together a second package for Katie to help raise funds to fight this cancer! This set of digital images has been donated to Katie. You can get this entire set of digis for only $15! The entire $15 goes to Katie and her family to help her fight this cancer!
Katie and her family celebrating Christmas in the hospital right after her diagnosis.
Please go to Katie's new blog, Help 4 Katie, and donate $15 to help her and her family! If you are new to this cause, please consider donating to receive her first package as well.
We are praying that each and every person that donates will be blessed!
You will receive a download link for all of these images upon receipt of your donation!
Prizes just for you donating!
We have some awesome sponsors that have not only donated images to the digital gift packages, but prizes too! For making a donation for EITHER item between February 20th through April 20th, you could win one of these fantastic prizes!
Everyone that donates to Katie will be entered automatically to win some wonderful prizes....you'll have to take a look on Katie's blog to see just what those are!

It's my Potty!
by Laurie Wilson
This image is a special request of Katie. Last summer, on a motorcycle trip, Katie visited a restroom with some fancy toilet wall paper.....she was so impressed with the wallpaper that she emailed us a picture of it! She was hoping some day we could come up with a potty of our very own.....her you go Katie! Our Design Team had a grand time coming up with all the saying collectively!
