Bringing back Whimsy?

2:23 PM | Posted by Krissy | | Edit Post

We have had a TON of requests to bring back the Whimsy Kit and add ons. I can only do so if we have a minimum of 25 people who want the main kit, or a minimum of 6 people who want the stitched paper add on kit. The kits will need to be pre-paid and would be expected to ship within the next month. If you would be interested in the main kit, the paper add on kit, or both (please specify if you would only be interested in the add on if it came with the main kit) email us at info@swirlydoos.com or leave a comment below to let us know if you're interested. In the event that more than 25, but less than 50 people want the main kit, they will go to the first 25 folks who respond.

My son is six; he is non-verbal and has Autism. We are affected everyday. We have good days, and a lot of bad days. I try to stay as positive as I can. My son gives me a unique perspective on life, and I am glad to have him in my life.

My Cousins son has been diagnosed with Autism, and I try to do the walk with her when I am able. And if I cant do the walk, I always support her! I also used to babysit a little boy with autism, So I really hope one day soon we can find a cure!

Jocelyn said...

Scrapping For Autism WINNER!

9:32 PM | Posted by Krissy | | Edit Post

Rarely have I been moved to tears by a mere act of kindness. When I announced this contest I was sure we would receive some very nice cards from some of our very talented members. Never, EVER in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the sheer outpouring of love and time and commitment that rolled in through my mailbox these past couple of weeks.

We have received cards from all over the world! We have recieved cards more beautiful than anything Halmark could ever dream up. We received cards created by children, for children. We recieved NUMEROUS cards that have been published in scrapbooking magazines. We received - - - Hope, in the form of 140 custom created, hand-crafted beautiful cards. With tears in my eyes, and on behalf of every mom of a child with Autism, THANK-YOU. To all who participated, thank you. Each wonderful woman who sent in cards will receive 10% off their next store purchase! Please contact me at info@swirlydoos.com to get your coupon code. These cards will now be shipped off and presented for Auction, with all money raised going directly to Autism Speaks!

Now, for our winner! In a random drawing professionally conducted by my littles, we have chosen the winner of this contest:

Mason tried and tried, and really wanted to choose the winner! Unfortunately, he was more interested in opening and closing the box than pulling out a name! lol

Enter Ashli, mommy's little helper who proudly proclaimed that SHE wanted to pick the winner out of all of the ladies who are helping Masie (she calls him Masie)

And there you have it friends! The winner of the $25.00 gift certificate to the Swirlydoos store is Cassie Box! Congratulations CASSIE! Contact me at Info@swirlydoos.com to claim your prize~

Thank you again, too all of the beautiful women, and children who gave of your time and talents to help raise money for Autism. With help from folks like you, we WILL find a cause and we WILL find a cure!
