Operation Julie's Smile .

Hello my friends! If you are on Facebook you may know about Julie Ranae's dental situation, but if you are not, let me share what she is going through now.

Taken from Julie's blog: 

Many of you may have heard that I recently

had to have emergency oral surgery which resulted

in the removal of my front teeth.

As a child, I struggled with brittle teeth due to

some health concerns and my parents did all

they could to ensure that I went into adult-hood

with the best teeth possible.  Unfortunately with age,

the brittle teeth became a problem again and well,

long story short, the dentist recommended that

I bite the bullet and have them all replaced.

I made the appointment, had the consultation

and was handed a piece of paper that said to

bring $4,000 with me to have the rest of the teeth 

taken out.  I was in shock because the dentist made

reference to the idea that 'it could all be worked out' ; )

Well, here I am today, missing front teeth (and a few others)

and being frustrated because I believed that this was

a procedure that would be taken care of quickly.

The unfortunate thing, is that THAT amount was JUST for the

removal of the rest of my teeth...it does not account

for the 'permanent teeth' that would need to be put in place.

When my teammate Nicole Rixon of

Sweet Stamp Shop

heard what had happened, she contacted not only

our design team, but a variety of other friends

and teammates of mine and the following was born...

There will be a benefit blog hop called 

'Operation Julie's Smile' 

that will take place Oct 7-9.  

There are a variety of
companies and design teams who will be participating 

in this hop to help raise funds for this benefit. 
So far, nearly $1000 in prizes have been made available and will be awarded for both participants 

and those who donate. 


Every little bit helps and each donation that

comes in makes it possible for me to regain

a true smile...whatever your part in our

event, I thank you from the

bottom of my heart.....

If you would like to donate, please click on the Donate button, every little bit helps.

Thanks so much!

God bless.
