She had lost her eyesight in one eye temporarily but it has since returned. Her family is awesome, her younger sister is my youngest's best friend at dance. On June 21st we have a swim party for the dance studio at a local pool, I would like to give her a box full of cards from all over the world that night. It's almost a month away and right now I can't give you all a set or a few digi's for doing it til I get these 3 books finished. but later I could. I know it's a lot to ask for some and others not so much. Her name is McKenzie, now I know my stamps aren't mostly for 18 yr old girls, so any card, any stamp will do, one card from everyone who could do it might just make her day, she's been struggling since dance is everything to her. If you'd like you can send them to me, email me dustin_pike@yahoo.com and I will send you my address, if you'd like to wait I will see if they can't be sent to the studio, but we are one a 3 week dance break (well deserved I might add) and so I don't know if they'd just sit there, so if you'd like send them to me and I will collect them all then find a neat way to give them to her at he party...There was a dance she was in as well as most of the studio titled "Stand By Me" and they dedicated the dance to her at every competition we did since learning what she had, I don't know if that will inspire anyone in the card making process, but if you could do this I would be really grateful.
******UPDATE*****
I only put that she was close to 18 or there abouts so you all knew what kind of card to make, these are cards of encouragement not birthday cards... :)
My new address is
Dustin Pike
P.O. Box 901
Roy Utah, 84067
Thanks
Dustin

Great idea, and I'm sure I can get a card to you in the next few days. Thanks for this precious freebie. It reminded me of a novel that I once read about a children's book writer that wrote about monsters that were scared of everything.
Hi Dustin, Ive posted the card I made to send to you on my blog and linked back to your blog, so as to highlight your request. Hope This is ok.
Love as always Gina x x x

You are always thinking of others so it is a pleasure to make a card for your daughter's friend. I've put the card & request on my blog - http://ourboringlife-shelley.blogspot.com/2010/05/vintage-dancer.html - and the card itself will be in the mail tomorrow.
A card will be winging it's way from Scotland to you very soon.
great idea and i hope she loves the surprise
hugs Sharon
My Neice was DXed with MS about 5 years ago, she was 29 at the time, and has had issues on and off with her one lower leg, her hand and foot drop...I do not think she has had the eye effect yet, but you never know what part is going to act up or when. I'll try to get a card done...we all have our crosses to bear, but at 18, she is young, and needs to know there is still a lifetime ahead of her!
Susan
I love sending cards for these types of card drives! I have the perfect stamp I'm going to use! Thank you for asking us to do this for McKenzie! She will love it!
Blessings!

hi Dustin
I think a card for this young lady, McKenzie, is the least we can do as a thanks for all the lovely freebies you give us. My mother has MS and therefore this is something that is also close to my heart as she is currently having bad days and worse days. I will be sending you my card from England but we have a bank Holiday here this week and therefore, as our postal service is so rubbish, I am hoping that it will still get to you on time.
Love and Hugs, Fae xxx
P.S. I have also put your message on my blog. Fingers crossed xxx
Dustin, thanks for the freebie... I am sending the card tomorrow.
What a great idea! And I didn't know you were from Utah - I'm in Clinton too! How exciting! You are so very talented, and so generous to share your talent as well!
This is a great idea for McKenzie! I would be honored to help for nothing in return.
~Madison
Love to send a card for McKenzie!
Debi Rice...
(What a nice thing to do, and thanks for letting us be a part of the giving!)
