Now for something new... When I had my little Jude (21 months now) we were stuck down there for four weeks with his little premature issues! He was first released to us 9 days after his birth, we brought him home... and 2 days later he stopped breathing on us! It was the middle of the night, there was a snow blizzard and the paramedics couldn't get to us fast enough. Thank God my husband has EMT training! He brought him back after 3 minutes! Back to the NICU it was for us until about two days before Christmas! We were just so grateful as a family that we had this little bundle of joy for Christmas. It was long and trying to live in a hotel for the periods he was in the NICU. I live in the mountains and there are no Baby deliveries or facilities for special needs like ours. So, here is the reason for my long babble about my son's birth and the trials... I am expecting again, and have already started with a little bit of complications. However, all is well now and baby is healthy so far. As you can all imagine living in a hotel was expensive, there was a Ronald Mc Donald house nearby that would have helped us with housing for the period he was in the NICU but at the time they were all booked up. We were on the waiting list, but never got in. No worries though! I felt that the people in the Ronald Mc Donald house were in much more need than our family.


It's my turn to help and give back, I know they did not help us, but it was not because they didn't want to, when Jude was born there were 85 babies in the NICU!!! 85!! That was 85 families in need. I want to help, because I felt we were blessed with Jude and him over coming his issues. I also want to help just because... no reason needed right? So... here is what I would like to ask of all you wonderful ladies... I would like to make 100 sales... of course more is always welcome! 100 sales of all 6 new images with the discount of course, out of those sales I am going to give half, that's right half of the money from the sales to the Ronald Mc Donald house adjacent to the hospital where Jude was born, which is where this one will be born as well. And not because I want something back, but because the families that are there are in need. There were so many families that their babies didn't make it. It brought me to tears time after time to see empty beds a couple of days when I visited my baby while in their NICU. It seemed that almost every other day a baby was lost. It brought me to stop crying cause my baby was very healthy despite his episode! So, I hope this make sense to you all, and hope you can all help me give back a little to those in need. Thank you for reading my story and thank you for taking the time to make a purchase! Now onto happier times and a hippity hopping!

Your next stop will be

GLORIA, Creey Glowbugg!!
She's just plain friggin' awesome!

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #9

BLING IT UP!!!

Wahoo!!  Ok, one of my favorites things to do is Bling It Up!!  I  ♥ adding stuff to my card and had a tough time putting down the bling and backing slowly away from my desk!!  This week I used 60s Hippie Willow from Tickled Pink Stamps the Lil Lolita Fashionette line. 

FOR MY BLING I used Glitter Ritz around the edges of 3 of my layers, I also added a bunch of Stardust Stickles to all my flowers (if you click the pic bigger you might be able to see them better), I added chandelier garland and pearl pins, which I think are bling.  Tough to get Stickles to show up in the camera.  They don't like to cooperate. 

So c'mon and check out all the details on the Lil Lolita Boutique challenge blog. 

PRIZE ALERT!!  There is A WEEKLY Lil Lolita up for grabs so find out which one by also visiting the LLB blog. 

Please take a visit over to also see what wonderful blingage the DT has come up with this week.

LIL LOLITA'S GO DIGI!!!

The Boss Lady Blog Hop

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLIE!  Kellie is the boss lady of our Lil Lolita Boutique challenge blog, as well as owner of Tickled Pink Stamps and TPS challenge blog.   So, for her birthday we decided to have a special birthday blog hop for her. 

The pink ladies of Tickled Pink Stamps, including international, have joined forces with Lil Lolita Boutique for this fun birthday hop day!

The gorgeous Debbie had an idea and approached Christine, the designer of our gorgeous Lolitas, and on the sly asked if she would design a KELLITA! Then Debbie let Kristy in on the secret and asked if she would like to help, of course Princess said yes! So together Debbie & Kristy sent pictures and ideas of what Kellita should look like....... So lets begin the hop so you can see our fabulous Kellita Birthday cards and join us in wishing Kellie a very happy birthday!

If you didn’t arrive from Jodie from Oz's blog then go back to the start at Debbie's blog and hop along with us.

The only stipulation on this card is (and maybe you've figured it out by now) we had to color her hair red.  I had so much fun with this card!!  I added gold Stickles to the borders and Wild Orchid flowers and used up some heart bauble garland that Jacque gave me in some blog candy awhile ago.  I'm not sure that Kellie's eyes are green but ..... well, today they are!  LOL!!! 

Happy birthday Kellie!  I hope we all managed to pull this off without you finding out and I also hope my card made it to you on time!  Have a fabulous day!! 

Now of course what is a hop

without prizes???

2 lucky commenters will get the chance to win this

SPECIAL EDITION KELLITA!!!

All you have to do is comment on each card. The winners will be announced on Wednesday the 11th August on the Tickled Pink Blog.
