My Acrylic Album has generously donated these awesome puzzle albums to Swirlydoos to show their support in raising awareness for Autism. Krissy Mosbarger designed this special puzzle for My Acrylic Album in honor of her son, Mason who was diagnosed with Autism at the tender age of 18 months. Proceeds from each and every Mason's Album sold goes directly to Autism Speaks (in Mason's name) to help further their research in finding both a cause and a cure.

These puzzles are available with 6" or 8" puzzle pieces that are fully interlocking. They retail for $15.00 and $20.00 respectively.

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!

Create & Donate for Autism Speaks!

9:57 PM | Posted by Krissy | | Edit Post

Autism Speaks Create and Donate Card Drive
Many of you know (or may NOT know) that my two-year-old son Mason has been diagnosed with Autism. Autism is not a disease, it is a disorder. It is estimated today that 1 in every 150 (more like 1 in 100) children is diagnosed with Autism, and that number is increasing by 10-17% each and every year, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined. As of today, the cause of Autism is unknown, and there is no known cure. Autism and the Autism community lie very close to my heart. We do everything we can to ensure that we raise awareness of this very serious disorder that is silencing our son. We hope you will join us in this FIRST of many contests to grace Swirlydoos Kit Club!
One of our very own members, Danielle Wycough is holding a Create and Donate card drive to benefit Autism Speaks. We need handmade cards for any and all occasions, any sentiments, and any colors. These cards will be sold at various crops and benefits, online stores and at handmade auctions. EVERY SINGLE PENNY earned from the sales of these cards will go to benefit Autism Speaks, to help further their research in finding a cure for the millions of children in our world who are suffering right now with Autism.
Your Mission: Is to create and donate as many hand made cards as you possibly can by March 15th. You will need to mail the handmade cards to me and I will be forwarding them along to Danielle so that your amazing creations may be sold at auction to the highest bidders!
For every card you send in, you will receive 1 entry into our drawing. (The more cards, the better your chances). Once all of the cards are in, we will draw a name from our bucket and the winner will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Swirlydoos store! But of course, you already know that by getting involved and donating cards to help further Autism research, you are already a winner in the heart of every single mom who has the PLEASURE of having a baby with Autism!
Be sure to post here, and keep us updated and motivated by the number of cards you're able to donate! Remeber, the cards need to be delivered to us by March 15th. That gives you 2.5 weeks. PLENTY of time to use up those old scraps you have laying around. When your cards are ready to ship, you can send them to us at:

Swirlydoos 7979 S. Country Club Pkwy.Aurora, CO 80016
Thanks ladies, I know that YOU can make this a huge success!
