Help for Katie

It is with a saddened heart that I am writing to ask for your help.
If ever you have drawn inspiration or ideas from my work, downloaded the many freebies that I give away I am now giving you the opportunity to give something back and do some good for a very dear family.

I would be thrilled if you would tell everyone about this fundraising be it blogs/facebook/twitter/forums or anywhere that will allow it

Katie Emmerson Renz married to Kevin with 3 beautiful boys the twins Nate & Will aged 5 and Hunter aged 10 had some news just before Christmas that has rocked their world as they know it.


Katie has been diagnosed with stage 4 Stomach Cancer and is currently undergoing her only option which is Chemotherapy.


Katie is a fellow crafter and is loved within the crafting community.you can read Katie's story on her own blog here but before you leave me I want you to see what all of the dedicated talented artists have designed for the Help for Katie cause.
Katie and her Family would like to say a very special thank you to all of the artists that gave up their time to help make this happen
Fundraising has now Ended on my Blog
More fundraising here

    This touched my heart--well how can it not? My heart sank when I heard the news, even though I don't know Katie personally. I will be praying for her and her family.

    I was happy to post this (just a few min. ago) on my blog along with a project using the Whale set by Studio 313. THANK YOU Jack for organizing this fundraiser and hopefully the word will spread and we can raise many funds to help out. My posts are auto-posted to my Facebook wall too. HUGS!!

    Dear Jak
    What a lovely thing to do! It's so hard to deal with this sort of cancer, as a friend I mean. There is so little one can do. But you've found a brilliant way to help and to show Katie some love.

    I'll put this on my blog later (just dashing off to work) but have hit the Paypal button first and bought your set. May I be the first of thousands!
