HELP FOR KATIE
Katie Emerson Renz married to Kevin with 3 young boys. They had some devastating news just before Christmas that has changed everything.
Katie has been diagnosed with stage 4 Stomach Cancer and is currently undergoing her only option which is Chemotherapy. Katie is updating her blog with her experiences, if you want to check it out.
Jak Heath is a crafting friend to Katie and has organized this special digi benefit to help raise money for Katie's Treatment and to give her lovely boys a treat too. For a donation of 15 pounds (approx $23) you will be given a HUGE amount of digi's... WORTH WAY MORE than the donation, you will soon see. CHECK THEM OUT ON JAK's BLOG HERE.
Below are the sets that Clear Dollar Stamps illustrators have donated to the fundraising benefit.
Jak Heath will also have some prizes... CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE PRIZES ON JAK'S BLOG

Laurie, at first I thought those were real straight pins in your pin cushion. And who doesn't have a tomato pin cushion (I had to buy one for my son last year when he had to take sewing in school!). Love the bright cheerful colors.
