Operation Julie's Smile Blog Hop

2011-10-07T08:00:00.011-04:00

Happy Friday!!!!

I am really excited to be a part of this event to help out a special Friend!!!

Here is a little info behind this event!!!

“The creative blogging community is coming together this weekend to help

one of our friends, Julie Ranae. You may know her as the Design Team

Coordinator for many wonderful companies from bakers twine, die cuts,
rubber stamps and more. What many people don’t know about Julie Ranae
is that she has had some pretty major dental surgeries in her lifetime due
to medication she had to take as a child. It was in her plans to think about
having all of her teeth replaced at some point in the next 5 years, a decision
that was pretty easy to plan out. But then it happened…she chipped her
front teeth on a weekend a month ago. The dentist told her there was no
way to save them & that it was his recommendation that she give in and
have them all her teeth removed soon, but for that day, they needed to

get her front teeth done so her gums could begin to heal. He said he would
'work out payments with her to have ALL this work done...but when she

called to make her appt for the first step of impressions, they told her the
amount of money that was needed and that the 'payments' applied only
to the two teeth that were extracted that day. Her husband Paul was with
her & that too, was his understanding as well. So this is how she has found
herself in this situation…Needing at least $4000 to get started and another
$3000 to finish the process…a total of $7000.
Nicole Rixon, owner of Sweet Stamp Shop put together this benefit after
finding out about this situation and before Julie Ranae knew it, it took flight!
Because she is an event organizer by trade, she has taken on the job

organizing all of the blogs in this hop as her way of ‘working overtime’

for what she needs, the same as if she were able to work overtime at an
outside job to pay for the work to be done.
It is the goal of all of these generous friends & sponsors to help make this

Scroll Down For BLOG CANDY WINNER!!

I was contacted some time ago to do a review about Easy Canvas Prints I am sure you have seen it around blogland a few times.

I was really excited about this because honestly i am so bad about just letting my pictures sit on my computer and i never do anything with them. So this really gave me the push to get a great picture put on canvas and i just love the results and even better the process was super easy!!!

I love this picture it is one of the very few that i have where they are being sweet and not doing a silly face Love it!!!

These also would make awesome grandparent gifts for Christmas!!!
