A dear friend of mine - Jenny from Jenny's Designz - has an absolutely beautiful little girl, Veronica, who was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata when she was just 2 years old. Veronica suffers with this disease on a daily basis, but through it all, she keeps a smile on her face and is one of the sweetest little girls you will ever meet!

Alopecia Areata Awareness

Jenny has put out a Designer Call to anyone who creates digital scrapkits, templates, quickpages, masks, etc. to collaborate with her on creating an Alopecia Areata Awareness kit.

If you would be interested in participating, you can find more information HERE on Jenny's blog.

Thanks again everyone for chipping in to help out with this collaboration and for spreading the word about Alopecia Areata to make more people aware!

Mye de Leon is a member of one of the Facebook Blogging Groups that I belong to. This is what she has been dealing with the past week:
"I gave birth to my boy on Dec 27. That day was supposed to be the happiest. Until they told us the news. Alphonse has Tetralogy of Fallot - a heart disorder wherein his valve has to be closed by a surgery. He needs to have it done in Feb. We need to have $12,200 by that time which we don't have at the moment :( I am losing hope.
As if that isn't heartbreaking enough. He is suspected to have Down syndrome too. We will have a chromosome test done on January 2nd.

I cried a lot already and i have become the pessimist i never thought i'd be. Please pray for us. We need the surgery. Doc says there is a 98% success rate and it is curable.

Do I need help? - I am a blog designer http://mycreativezone.com/ , please if you need a makeover - please please order from me. I am willing to work hard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her little baby needs our help.

They need $12,200 by 1st week of February. If you can help her, any amount will be appreciated.

You can send it to her paypal : admin@myedeleon.com
I'm sure she and her little Alphonse would greatly appreciate it if you would send some work her way.

Finished up a cute little tag the other day using the artwork of Robin Pushay which you can find at Artistic Dreams Imaging.  Included in the zip file is a collection of sayings that you can use in your emails.  I hope that you like them!

Anyone else out there sick and tired of being taken for granted by the men and children in your life?  Put this on your computer and GO ON STRIKE!

If that doesn't work ... email, text or Facebook this to 'em!

Created a set of extras to use with alone or with the fall-themed letters I posted this morning.  I hope that you like them!

I have three new letters for you today that are fall-themed for Incredimail.  Just click each of the previews to download.

I have just had the pleasure of working with this beautiful kit for Myst and loved it!  I have always held a fascination with the ocean (probably because I'm a water sign), and I could spend hours and hours creating with this kit.

Told you it was beautiful!  Here are the two layouts that I've created this afternoon with this kit:

Please join us this evening at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Thursday, September 13, 2012 for 10 Minutes of Facebook Silence to pay tribute to Elric Childress, an amazing young man who lost his battle with cancer this past Sunday.

No child should spend their childhood fighting catastrophic diseases of any type, please join hands with us and continue to help bring awareness to cancer and fighting for a cure.

Greetings everyone!  I am "almost" to the point where I am ready to begin creating and designing again and offering you some awesome freebies!  Stay tuned by signing up to our newsletter - because when My Creative Muse hits - it hits in a BIG way!

I have a beautiful freebie to offer you today - well I think it's beautiful anyway!  My youngest son, Tre, was playing outside a few weeks ago - running around our apartment complex here, there and everywhere - so I had given him my little cheapo tracfone (could only make phone calls and send and receive text messages on it) to keep on him so I knew where he was at.  Well, he lost it - or so we thought.  An entire week went by, couldn't find my phone - so I had to call and cancel the service and ordered a replacement phone.
