One of them is a change to win the SEWING BOX. You can scroll down to the last post to read all about a change for you to win and have the SEWING BOX in your home. We also have a special Digi image that you can buy to help send our own artist's son to the Mayo clinic to see a specialist. Stryder's health has been an ongoing concern for Angela and her family. You can read Stryder's story and see the special digi's that Angela designed for him here. Also we would really appreciate it if you posted the special fundraiser blinkie on your blog sidebar and helped us to spread the word about helping Stryder.

Please Help us go to the Mayo Clinic

All proceeds for this stamp are to help Stryder get to the Mayo Clinic in MN. You get all three images for $5
Click here to help

Hi, I'm Stryder and I'm 3 and a half years old with an undiagnosed disorder. I am a very happy little boy who cannot talk the way other peole do, but I am learning sign language and I have a device called an Augmentive Communication Device that will talk for me. I have a lot of the same symptoms that other kids with autism have, but I have seen many doctors and they all tell me I am not autistic. My joints in my body are very loose and it makes it hard for me to walk and run and play with my friends. I can turn my feet all the way around, which really makes my mom cringe. I am a strong little boy and many people would not know my disabilites just looking at me because I hide them very well. I got accepted to go the Mayo Clinic in MN (I live in Oregon) so that I can see a renound DR. in speech and get many other tests done while I am there. My appointment will last almost the entire week at the end of June. Please consider helping our family out so I can go. Monster Trucks are my favorite, so my mommy made these digital stamps just for me- look at me driving in my favorite jeep!
