Every once in a while I ask for something in return for all of the freebies I give away. That time has come again...This past Monday night at a local school they held an event called "Dancing for Dylan" The turnout was tremendous...He is a 9 yr old boy recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (Diffused Pontine Glioma) His blog is here
http://dylandshaw.blogspot.com/ and you can read all about the things that this little boy and his family are going thru. In return for you taking an hour out of your day and a buck to mail the card I have 6 images to give away to each person that sends a card to me that I can collect and take to his family. I would like to do this in about 2 weeks to give those overseas the time to get the cards here.
PLEASE feel free to make the card for Dylan, his family or both. If you have wonderful words of encouragement you can add that to the card...or just a simple hello will work.
One of the images is this one...
This as well as the 5 others will not be for sale on my site (consider them Limited Editions). Only by making a card can you get this small set...I am not telling you that one of my images has to be used (though it would be nice) and seeings it's a boy this time around, I for some reason tend to have a lot of images geared towards boys...
Send the card to me:
Dustin Pike
P.O. Box 901
Roy, Utah 84067
PLEASE be sure to throw a note in there with your email address so I can send the set once your card is received. Though my kids think so I am not a mind reader...
Onto this weeks freebie...

Oh, yeah! What a great image for boys!
I will definitely try to get a card to you for Dylan. It's so tough for a family to go through this.
Thanks for the image!
What a great cause. I'll be getting a card made up and in the mail. Thanks for the freebie.
These guys are both great. Thanks so much!
Dustin, what a great thing you're doing to encourage Dylan. Count me in! Thanks for the adorable bugs. I have just the sentiment to go on that sign, too. :-)
Thank you for the freebies. I will be making a card for Dylan.
I'm sure that if I don't have a card in the stash, I can certainly create one! I'm wondering to if you'd like a note to Dylan inside? Thanks for the freebie.

Thanks for the freebie! I will get to work on a card for Dylan!
I will do my best to get a card out to you!!!
Continue to let your kids think you read minds! And let them know you have eyes in the back of your head. My girls believed that one for years.
Thank you for the bug. I'll work on a card for Dylan.

Thanks for the really cute digi.
Jocelan
Totally cute!!!! Love your images! Thanks for your generosity!
Just found your blog. I'm touched that you would collect cards for this boy and family. I just happen to have 2 cardstock colors and matching paper sitting out that I have been trying to figure out what to do with and they EXACTLY match your colored bug! I will make a card and send it out first of the week (have to finish my mother's day card LOL)
Blessings to you and thanks for your freebies! Deborah-JoyfullyOrange
Yay for the comment from marcieschild - save some of the cards to give on another date, like some every week. Great idea!! Hope you think so too Dustin.
Thank you!!
Thank you for the cute bug!
I'll have a card in the mail asap! Thank you for allowing us to be part of this outpouring of encouragement and love!!
I will be getting a card out to you and thanks for the freebie!

What a great thing you do for others! Keep up the good work
Thank you for the bug hes lovely. I just love your idea for Dylan, Im going to have a go and fingers crossed it reaches you across the pond in time.....Jayne x
Thank you for the freebie. I will be sending a card for Dylan tomorrow...I am going to an card/scrapbooking all nighter to night, I will tell Dylan's story and hand out the address. I know first hand how it feels to get cards in the mail when you are so sick. I have a terminal disease and sometimes I get out my cards and read and reread them. T nak you for what you are doing for this wonderful boy...you are awesome.
I would love to send one for Dylan...It will be mailed tomorrow (Saturday). Thanks for the freebie and can't wait to see the other images you have for us. Praying for Dylan and his family too...There's nothing impossible with God!
I just posted a card, hope it is in time, from the Netherlands.

I've made a card which is in the mail. I've also posted a photo of it to my blog, along with a quote from your call for cards, hoping to spread the word a bit further. Dustin, your heart must be as big as the world! Thanks so much for letting us know about this. Dylan and his family are in all our prayers. My card can be seen at http://mygrammysattic.blogspot.com/2011/05/cards-for-dylan.html
Thank you for the gift. You have a wonderfully large heart. Instead of just grabbing any card from my stash I'm going to make one especially for Dylan.
I put several cards in the mail today, for both Dylan and his parents.
Thank you! It's a lovely freebie and I'm sure I MUST have a card somewhere!

Hi Dustin,
Thank you so much for passing along the information for Dylan and for Thomas. I will be putting their cards in the mail in the morning. Dylan's to you and Thomas to Thomas's address.
You truly have a heart of gold Dustin and we may not comment or recognize your generosity as often as we should, but please know how much we appreciate you for all that you do. For you to go the extra mile to put a smile on a little boys face speaks volumes on how sweet you are! You are a rare breed and I am so happy to have crossed paths with you!
This *Hug* is for YOU! You are pretty amazing!
*Hugs*
~Andrea

Dylan's card is on the way to you!!!! Love that bug.
Is it too late to do a card for Dylan? Will you post a deadline when you are sending the cards? I will try to get one done today and in the mail Monday if its not too late.
Just a link to the blog post with the card I made and a note about the card collection. You should receive the card in the mail shortly! You are very kind to do this. :)
