THANK YOU SO MUCH!!


Thank you to all who have donated to the autism walk...we are blown away by all the support. And the support from our community has been awesome. There's still time so, If you think of somebody who might want to help...send them here!
I wanted to share this scrapbook page I did for a contest sponsored by Technique Tuesday (a scrapbooking company) in support of autism research. This really cool company has been supporting Autism Speaks by donating proceeds from certain products and by starting a gallery of pages supporting kids with autism. No, I didn't win the contest but, I did win a set of stamps and free supplies are always a good thing.
As you can tell, one of my peeves is when people say Sam IS autistic...he is SO MUCH MORE than his disability. Autism is something he HAS and it really is only PART of who he is. Autism is a spectrum disorder which means every child affected by autism is different so, to lump them all together doesn't paint the right picture. The quote on the picture is: The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible by Arthur C. Clarke.
If you want to check out the products and the gallery (my page is there) from Technique Tuesday just click here http://www.techniquetuesday.com
