I looking for some help here. For those of you who read my last post, I mentioned briefly of the condition of my neighbor. She, Paige age 13, was in a serious boating accident a few weeks ago and just had part of her arm amputated. The doctors are working to save the rest, but are unsure how much they can do. Here is a link to the article that describes it more in detail. Included in the article it mentions they've run out of room for flowers and stuffed animals, but cards are welcome. Well my family and I really want to something and I thought amazing cards from all you wonderful ladies would be just what could cheer Paige up. She is one of those girls that ALWAYS wears a smile.
I'll be offering up some BLOG CANDY for anyone who mails a card either to me to hand deliver or directly to Paige using the address from the article.
Cards can be mailed to Paige Welch at Boston Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115.
All you need to do is make a card for Paige, post on your blog, leave a comment here and mail it out. Not only will you then be entered in the drawing but you'll also be helping a very sweet girl and her family through a very hard time. I'd love to reach 100 cards for her!!!
Thank you in advance for all your help. OK So I have......
pack of SU prints pack
Queen & Co brads
Clear stamp set
Some adhesive ric rak
A spool of ribbon
Some adhesive fabric tape
Letter pins
Some stamped images
PLUS a bag of assorted brads, buttons, charms, eyelets flowers etc(not shown)
******And the super fabulous and amazingly talented Katie from Paper makeup Stamps has so generously donated 4 stamps for my blog candy with a cause. Thank you Katie so much!!! The stamps are Donna the Nurse fairy, the hope fairy, toothfairy and teddy. Hugs to you hun!!
Please spread the word, thanks.

******And super talented (OK I'm ruuning out of adjectives, but we all know he rocks!!) Dustin Pike is offering digis for EVERYONE who sends a card to Paige. Thank you so much!!!!!!
****That sweet little bear image at the top of the post is the newest digi image from Whimsy Stamps!! One of the talented designers created this Teddy for Paige over the weekend.

Big hugs to Denise and her designer for getting this bear so quicjkly and so cute!!! It's amazing!
***I just received a touching email from Janice of Sunshine and giggles. She worked very hard to get 4 new images done to donate for my blog candy. They are 4 new stamps from Sunshine and Giggles Christmas/Winter line. The line was not set to be unveiled until Oct. 1 but Janice wanted to have them available for you to pre-order because Sunshine & Giggles will donate $2.00 per stamp for every stamp purchased between now- Sept. 07 and Oct. 31, 2009. I posted a sneak peek of a visit from Santa stamp. How awesome is that!!! Janice, I'm so touched by your generosity and your hard work thank you!!!!
****Lindsay from Lindsay's stamping stuff has also generously donated 3 digi images to the blog candy. They are a cute witch, harry the spider and haloween pumpkins. Lindsay thanks so much you and the images are super sweet!!!
****I also received a post under my blog candy that Shelly Schmidt will be donating an Inkadinkado stamp set called Winter Birds! So amazing Shelly Thanks so much! I'll try to get a pic to post with the others
***WOW this post is getting long. I can not express enough how touched I am by everyone who has made a card and by all the fabulous people who have donated and offered to help!! Big hugs to you all. I have 20 cards right now to give to Paige just from Fri and Sat so I am waiting for the mail today to bring over a big stack!!!! *** I also wanted to add Victoria Case's donation to this list. She is posting shortly about Paige and offering a free digi to everyone who mails Paige a card!!!!!! That was a great email to open this MOnday am!! Thanks Victoria, you're amazing!!!!
****I received a very touching email from Donna from My Artistic Release. She wants to help by donating a big box of stamps!!! So we decided to add a second drawing!!! The winner of the second drawing will receive this amazing package from Donna!! Big hugs to you hun!!!!!
*****Another one to add today! Elizabeth from Soft Pencil has donated a wonderful prize pack to add to the candy, including some digi images and paper. She also wanted everyone who has sent Paige a card to grab this witch image as a giant thank you!!! Big thanks to you too Elizabeth. Here's the image, you should be able to click and save!
I think I'll keep the candy thru the end of the week, I have over 100 posts + about 40 emails from people without blogs or people who didn't want to enter the candy! So we're so close to 200 so let's make that our new goal!!! Thanks so much!!
I also just want to add another big thank you for everyone who has mailed out so far, your support is greatly appreciated in so many ways!! Now let's keep 'em coming!!!
The last update I have is that Paige recently had surgery on her arm adn has to undergo two more.
If you're mailing to me, email me and I'll email back my addy.
Thanks for stoppin' by!

absolutely glad to be able to create for such a good cause. here's my post with a little hedgie card. but i wanted to also ask you if Paige is a girlie girl who would wear a beaded necklace with a butterfly pendant, or if she's more tomboyish. my husband makes beaded necklaces and said i could pick one to send to Paige with my card. please let me know! :)
Hi Erin, I have posted it on my blog and will be sending Paige a card. But no need to put me in the candy! I was horrified by reading the article, and at the same time amazed by how well she is facing the reality of loosing her arm. You are doing a great thing for your neighbours Erin!!
Hugs Ida
Erin, I have just read about Paige - what a terrible tragedy. I can't imagine what her parents must be going through. I will happily post a card out to her hun.

Hi Erin, I just posted my card for Paige to my blog, it's here.
I was so sad to read what had happened to her (and when I'm sad, I'm realllllly sad...) :(
Here's my card for Paige. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
http://hearthugsdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/09/card-for-paige.html
What a great idea to send cards... I just finished mine. It'll go out in the mail this afternoon and be up on my blog tonight!
That's a wonderful idea!
I will be making and posting a card for Paige on my blog:http://audreyscardsbydesign.blogspot.com
I am very happy to do this and will then send it out as soon as I can as it may take a while to get there as I live in Mexico. Very happy to do this God Bless!!
So sorry to hear. I have two daughters and I can't imagine what they are going through. My daughters and I will each make cards!
Ahhhhh my heart goes out to Paige! I am so sorry to hear of her accident. I will try to send her a card today. I have enough of them anyway and this hopefully makes her smile a little again.
hugs Ria

Erin I comitted to making a card and sending it to you to give to Paige. I have handwritten the sentiment and it just fit the situation along with the card. Not a typical feel better card, but one that will make her smile. My card is here, and I will be writing on the inside and praying that this will be lemonade and not a lemon in her life. Much prayers and support for Paige and her family. Iona
My card is here: http://ionascropshoppe.blogspot.com/2009/09/halloween-cute-challenges-back-to-edit.html
Forgot to add that it is going postal to you today. Thanks, Iona
Hello Erin! poor Paige... it´s a great idea and so nice of you sending her many cards!
I would love to donate some of my digi-stamps, e-mail me at elizabethpujalka@hotmail.com
My best wishes for Paige :)
Hi Erin this is such a sad story but you are making things a little brighter for paige.I will send out a card to her using the hospital addy some girlfriends will do the same and i dont want anything in return so i dont want to be in the blog candy give away.It looks good but i want to send a card because i care god bless
I am sending a card today, My mom sent one yesterday
hello erin. this is racquel welch, paige's mum. where do i start???? thank you i guess would be good. i can't tell you how much all of the cards she has received so far have done for her. she looks forward to mail call every day. her spirits are still high....thanks to you and all of your blog friends. the doctors were able to save quite a bit of her arm. she will have a working elbow making it so much easier to fit her with a prosthetic arm (not for several more months). her last surgery on 09/09/09 was the worst pain wise but the best results wise. muscle, veins, an artery, a nerve and skin were removed from the right side of her back(from under her arm to her hip). a 10 by 5 inch piece of skin was also taken from her right thigh and these were all grafted to her arm to allow her to eventually use the new limb. she had a few set backs and her suffering was almost my undoing but she pulled through and might be discharged from the hospital this thursday or friday. she loves all the cards and the gifts. and yes she likes the beaded necklace with the butterfly pendant. as well as the stamps, bookmarks, stickers and blank card to use for herself and all the other very thoughtful and creative goodies that keep filling her room and her heart. she is so amazed when she receives the cards from overseas. i can never thank you all enough for what you have done and continue to do. we are hopeful at returning to our home in nh by october. please forgive my lack of capitals and punctuation as i have the use of one hand only at the moment and typing is difficult especially as i was a 2 finger typist in the first place. both paige and i will require at least a year to recover from our injuries but i am thrilled to announce that my nephew's is coming along sooner than expected. thank you again to all of you especially erin for starting this.
my thanks and love to you all,
racquel, paige and clarke
Hi Erin, finally got round to posting my card for Paige, just read the comment from her family and delighted to hear that the doctors have managed to such a good job with her arm. My card is here
I would be so happy to spread some cheer to Paige and her family. What a horrible ordeal to have to go through. And how sweet of you Erin to do what you are doing for Paige! I will post my card for Paige soon!
I hope to have a card made by Friday. My love and prayers go out to you for your efforts, ALL who have donated and especially Paige and her family.
I have just read about this and it's heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking are Paige's maturity, wisdom and courage in facing this horrible moment in her young life.
I will post a card (maybe two) for her tomorrow morning, not for the candy just for Paige.
Fingers crossed my card will make it - the Romanian postal service is not too reliable.
Thank you for introducing us to Paige (thank you to her family too) and allowing us to send her our good thoughts and best wishes directly.
God bless!
Mada
I will make a card tonight and get it out tomorrow-will post it on my blog later this evening. You are so wonderful to help in this way!

Bless You Erin!! I sent a card out to you yesterday for Paige but didn't post it to my blog. I will try and get another one ready to go tomorrow! That young lady shouldn't have to be going through this misery ... I hope all the cards at least give her a reason to smile if even for a little while!!
Hi Erin,
I'm not sure where to post my picture as I don't have a blog. I can send you the link. I also need your address to send it to you, if that's what you prefer. Just let me know, otherwise I can mail it out to her tomorrow.
Wonderful thing you're doing.
Blessings,
Jeannette aka Jnett
Hi Erin, this is such a wonderful thing you've organised, and I'm so glad to see loads of people getting on board. I've made my card for Paige (using the Whimsy digi stamp), but I can't upload it to my blog until Sunday as it's for one of the challenge DTs I'm on (I thought it would be good for a bit of extra exposure for this worthy cause). I'll pop it in the mail tomorrow to you, but it may take a little while, as it's coming to you from the UK! Obviously, I would love to be included in your wonderful blog candy draw too! Thank you for being so caring and AWESOME! Hugs, Simonne x
I heard about Paige through the blogging world and I just hope she got my card I sent out a week ago... she's in my thoughts and all I can do is give ((((cyber hugs))).....
Please DO NOT enter me into any drawing if you were to come across my card. That's not what I want at all...What an awesome neighbor you are to do this..best wishes..
Mandy
Erin, this is so wonderful of you to keep watch on your neighbor's daughter, Paige. I sent my card to the hospital when I heard about this and was delighted to hear others pitching in. I would love to make more cards for Paige, a brave young girl. My heart goes out to her. Please send your address to me at terryoulboub@yahoo.com so that I can send my cards on Monday for the postman.
Hi Erin, I posted another Paige card today!
I'm sure mail time brings a smile to her sweet face!
Blessings, Maria

Hi Erin I've been reading the updates on Paige thank you so much for keeping us informed. I sent in my card a while ago but alas forgot to add a link to it. So here is a link to the card. http://stamp-n-play.blogspot.com/2009/09/paiges-thinking-of-you-card.html
AMAZING, Erin! you have done a fantastic thing with this card drive for Paige! i'm so pleased to hear she's home and recovering well! thanks for the updates! i wonder what her room looked like after the love started rolling in from around the world! :D
Hello Everyone,
It's me, Paige. I thought I would write a comment on the blog to thank everyone for all the cards. My entire family is very grateful to have people who care about us. Special thanks to those who made bookmarks, stamps, necklaces, stickers, blank cards for me to use, and pins. I'm so very amazed that I've received cards not only from the United States, but also from many different countries. So far I have cards from Canada, England, Scotland, Sweden, Finland, The Netherlands, and Italy. Thank you again for all of the time and hard work that you all have put into your wonderful cards.
Bless you all,
Paige Welch and family.
Hi Erin :-) I hope paige gets lots of cards,, mine is in the post :-)
Luv Lols x x
Hi Erin,

I also annouce it on my blog, so maybe you get more cards...
