Talk About Curing Autism - February's Charity Donation

From now through Sunday, I am donating all proceeds from my store sales to Talk About Curing Autism. This cause is important to me because I have a three year old son who was diagnosed with autism last year. He is in the process of recovery but without TACA I don't know if I would have been able to give him the biomedical treatments he needs. This organization has been so helpful for us in navigating this diagnosis.

Check out their site: www.talkaboutcuringautism.com

Or view their Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Talk-About-Curing-Autism/112714484666

LOTW 2-25-10

The winner of this weeks LOTW is crinkletoast. I found this LO in the gallery over at Gingerscraps. Click on her LO and stop by and leave her love on this gorgeous piece of art. She used a valentine mini kit called "V" by Misty O'Brien Designs. She did an awesome job. Here it is.

So there you have it. Remember if you do any LO's using Misty's designs, post them in the galleries out in the scrap world and your LO just might be chosen for LOTW.

Also if you are not a fan of Misty O'Brien Designs on Facebook, become one now so you don't miss out on all the news and some freebies.
