About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

My Turner Syndrome Journey blog hop 1-7 February




Hello Blogging Friends!!


Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!
Prize Winners will be announced on February 15, 2020.

Thirty-six caring Sponsors and five DT Members have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Thanks for learning About Turner Syndrome



Eight talented and caring designers are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:


My TS related project is inspired by the TSA official color board:

I have used paper from We are 3 Magical Butterflies
Jan's digital stamps coloured digi from the Ballet 709J set (this set is great value, you receive coloured digis and black and white digis and sentiments)

Oh, what a lovely card you made. It's so feminine. I learned about their low estrogen levels. [Bunny]

Donna Ellis said...

Such an incredibly beautiful card, Margaret, with a loveliness beyond words. What a pretty soul you have to produce such lovely collage style masterpieces. Thank you for participating in the TSA blog hop and helping your followers become knowledgeable about this condition.

Your card is gorgeous, Margaret! Beautiful imagery and such a wonderful sentiment! I wish you all the best with your eye surgery and that you recover quickly. I just learned about Turner Syndrome today - I heard of it before but didn't know what it was. If I had to pick one thing I learned, it would be that the average age of diagnosis is 9+ and that some are not diagnosed until adults. And even more shocking is that only 2% of babies conceived with Turner Syndome survive to birth. Well I guess that's 2 things. Thanks for helping to educate us about this disorder.

Lori Kobular said...
