"It's a Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Welcome to my project for the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop!

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!

Nineteen caring Sponsors and eleven 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.

My TS related project uses a few colors from the TS official color board:

I created these cards to highlight the beautiful sentiment.

I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, butterflies from Lemoncraft, ribbon from DL.ART and several dies to create the cards.

I created a second set of cards using Die-Versions dies.

Time for a Giveaway!!

Happy Friday everyone and happy first day of fall (or spring, depending on where in the world you live :) Gosh, this year is flying by so fast!! It will be Christmas before we know it :) I wanted to share some photos of the beautiful hummingbirds that have spent the summer here. I've taken a ton of pictures, but I haven't had the chance to look at most of them.

I just realized that I didn't process any of the photos of hummers with gorgeous ruby throats. I'll post them soon.

We had an incredible amount of hummers this summer. This isn't the greatest video...it was taken through a screen, but this is just one of four feeders and you can see how many there are (you can really see them if you click full screen). It was a swarm :)

I am going away on vacation today and I won't be able to visit you while I'm gone. I don't want you to forget me, so how about a giveaway??!!

I have not one giveaway, but two!! One person will win a Lemoncrft Fresh Summer set of 6x6 paper, ephemera cards and buttons, and one will win a Lemoncraft Christmas Carols set of 6x6 paper, ephemera cards and buttons. I'm not going to make you jump through hoops. All you have to do is:
