A friend in need

sale-jazz

 

TODAY is a day when all the girls at DSO have jumped in to HELP A FRIEND IN NEED!

Jazzy our dearest friend has gone through a tough time this year so far in that her health has failed her,  the death of her daughter Lori,  and now on Saturday night her dearest Grandson Andrew passed away in her arms at home. He was a really special boy and needed very special care that Jazz fought long and hard to give him.

Our hearts are broken for all that this Special Woman has gone through and today the

 DSO will be donating ALL SALES that go through the store today to JAZZ!

It's our way of helping her out ~ We are asking YOU to help US, help a friend in NEED. 

If you make a purchase today - please leave a message on your ORDER for Jazz if you would like - it will be copied and sent to her too ;-).

I made this mini-kit  freebie that I would like to give out today

All I ask in return if you download is that you pop on over to JAZZY'S NEW BLOG HERE and just leave her some LOVE.

Here you go

If you give Andrea a chance to wake up her side- she will have a matching part to this mini-kit too.

I've blogged on JAZZY's Blog today - and put up two very special LO's that Jazzy did of Andrew- so you can see just what a special boy he was.

Thank you for your support in this cause and as you know my store is 50% today- includes all CU items too. Much love and hugs Kim

Kim,
Thanks for sharing this with all of us. We have a special community - and even though we have never met each other we seem to care and know about each other. And thanks for swooping in there like a Mama bird and looking out after the ones that are in need.

Kim - thank you for this sweet kit, and thanks for putting the color chip in with it. i did go to Jazz's blog and read thru it and left a comment - not just to get your freebie, but because i know what it is to grieve the death of a loved one: family member and friend. Bless you, too for your sweet and loving heart as well as your generosity!

Kim, thanks for letting us know of Jazzy's troubles so we can be supportive. And thank you for the lovely freebie. Off to do a little shopping for a friend.

Kim, I was over at Jazzy's blog before I finished reading your post. What a unimaginable sad thing to happen to her. She's already been hurt so much.
I just hope all the comments over there will help her some, as she wrote earlier that the comments made her happy again.

Thanks for sharing it with all of us, so we can leave her some love.

Also thanks for the sweet kit.
It's very beautiful.

Oh Kim,

What a beautiful thing for you to do. I'll be praying for Jazzy today. I'm at a loss of what else to say, sometimes its so hard to understand why one person in particular gets so much heaped on them, in the way of suffering. I guess the beautiful thing about it, is seeing how the scrapping/blogging family pulls together in every way to meet a friends need.

THANK YOU for just 'being there' for a friend.

Love,
Barb

Thank you for letting us know about the DSO benefit today, I ran right over to do my part. I have always felt that when one in our community is hurting we all feel the pain. It does not matter that we have not "met".
I am so sorry .

I'm so sorry to hear about this and went right to Jazz's blog from Gingerscraps. It's truly wonderful how the digicommunity comes together during times like these. Thank you for being a part of this and doing such a wonderful thing for her. I almost feel guilty shopping, but knowning it's going to a good cause, always makes it a bit easier.

I tried to leave Jazz a message on her blog but it just wouldn't go through. Please let her know how sorry I am for her loss. Heading over to DSO to help her out.

Kim, I tried to leave the following message on Jazz's blog, but since I don't have a user name and password for Google/Blogger, I was unable to do so. Could you please make sure Jazz gets the following message I tried to leave on her blog? Thanks

"Jazz....My thoughts are with you right now. I sit here trying to put into words my feelings, and find that for once I can't find the words. So I guess I will have to just sent you a "cyber hug" instead.

Kim,
I feel just terrible for all that Jazz is going through.


I'm unusually late in reading your post and missed the special event you were all doing for her. Please let me know how I can contribute to lifting some of the families burdens.


Jazz & her family will be in our thoughts and prayers as they step out of this past season in thier lives and into the next.


Hugs & Blessings,

Dane Ann
