Do you think it's possible for one little boy to get over ONE MILLION birthday cards?? I do - and I think it's a fabulous wish to have - and what a great thing for all us stampers and paper-crafters to take up!!
There is a little boy in Ontario, Canada named Shane who was diagnosed with Leukemia and is turning 8 years old on May 30th 2007. His wish is for ONE MILLION birthday cards - you can see the link to the local radio station that has taken up this cause here:

As well here is a link to the thread started on Splitcoast:
Shane's 1 Million Birthday WishAND a link to a
video on YouTube which has an alternate address (either one you choose will work).
Here is the addy that was e-mailed to me:
Shane Bernier

I'm off to go make him a card - and I challenge all of you to make one and send it too! If you have a blog/website I also challenge you to post and spread the word (and if not tell your friends and family - the cards don't have to be handmade!!!).
It feels SO good to do something that means so much to someone doesn't it??
On another note, watch my BLOG later today I am going to have a special guest "Artist" presenting her art work....lol....
Later Gaters!
Okay well here is the art work from my guest artist?...lol...yes it is from my 3 year old granddaughter Julie. I was busy working on a swap the other morning and was not really paying attention to what she was doing at her work area behind me. I stamped up some of these images and the phone rang. When I came back I was thinking hmmmmmmm self...what did you do with those images, but then I thought well maybe I didn't do them......so I was busy working on my cards, and every so often Julie would ask me for something, like her markers, some glue, how about some glitter sparkles Gramma......................what! I said what are you making....I turned and looked at her work area..................and yes she had taken a couple of my images and had colored on them.......well not to be a gramma that gives them heck for creating, I let her add the glitter to the images as they were already coated in glue......it took about 4 hours for the glue on the images to dry...once they were dry I let her pick her paper that she wanted to use and also the ribbon......can you guess she is a girly girl with good taste...she chose pink and of course the most expensive ribbon I own my precious Maya Roads ribbon...oh well nothing to good for my girl....so we worked and sweated and finally were able to put these two creations together............not bad 
for a first attempt (seems like I remember when my cards did not even resemble anything close to this...rofl)...this is not a very clear picture of her, cause I had to cut and paste it in as I can not figure out how to get a 2nd picture here.....so here is the guest artist our Julie! Keep tuned she has been up to some crafting today again but that is for another day! Later Gaters!
