World Card Making Day

 Hello!! Welcome to Day 5 of the  World Card making Day blog hop!!  I am tickled to have you. This is a 5 day blog hop with 10 bloggers daily. Talk about LOTS of inspiration and LOTS of Sponsors!!
As it is World Card Making Day, the bloggers in the hop will be donating their cards to charity. You will also see some celebrity UK crafters join us as well. TOTALLY AWESOME!!! 
So.. onto the show.. If you came here from  Debs blog at Debbees CDs  , then you are on the right track. If you want to start from the beginning, please go to Creations By Gill M blog. You won't want to miss any of the awesome cards.

Here are a couple of the cards I made to send. I am donating 10 cards to Kosairs Children's Hospital. They are an AMAZING hospital who have became "family like" to several people I know. I only thought it fitting to send them cards to cheer up some little and big kiddos there. If you have some cards and would like to donate along with me..  I'd be happy to send yours with mine. You can leave them blank for family and nurses and even doctors to write in.. or you can write in them your own message. Either way is fine.
Tanya Stilwell
P.O. Box 143
Cecilia, KY  42724
Attn: Kosairs Children's Hospital

Now, onto my cards...
 I hope you like my cards and if you have the time.. make something to donate. Send them or take them anywhere. The important thing is to bring a smile to someone's face.

Thanks for stopping by. Your next stop is A Fist Full of Glitter . Here you will find another fabulous card from Angela. 

What's a blog hop without BLOG CANDY???  Today I am in the fall/ Halloween mood so why not a few lil embellies? All you have to do is leave a comment along with a way to contact you if you win and if you so choose, become a follower. ( of course I'd LOVE to have you) This blog candy is open to US residents only. I apologize as postal rates are outrageous. I will announce the winner Oct 10. :)
Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Happy Crafting!!

My poor lil man ...( graphic pics.. not for weak tummies)

 Hi ya'll.. Happy to have you. 
Well, last night my lil guy had a lil fall which resulted in 3 stitches outside and 2 inside. This is his FIRST trip to the ER. His tooth went right through his bottom lip!!!  He was such a trooper!! He laid still and never even cried when he was getting stitched up!! Daddy told him to stop talking because he was making it bleed and Colton said " I like talking daddy".. This is BIG for him.  I am a REALLY proud mommy. 

Colton and Daddy waiting in the ER. He LOVED his bracelet and still hasn't taken it off!!!
The inside of his lip .. which took 2 stitches.. ( DON'T look if you are weak tummied)  This is the LEAST nasty looking pic.
This is the outside.. where the tooth went through.. 
He did such a good job... he got a popsicle and was even in a good mood playing around with daddy.. 
Today, his lip is still VERY swollen. He isn't letting it stop him tho. He has been running around playing and I've been right behind him ready to catch him!!!  I am very proud of my lil guy.

Well, we go to his Ped in 6-7 days to get the external stitches removed. Btw.. he LOVES the BLUE stitches!!  He is so big and mommy is soo proud of you bubby!!! 

Thank you all for your kind words on Face Book .. I'm sure he will be just fine!!
Hugs,
