Hello Blogging Friends!!
Welcome to the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop!
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!
Here are the Wonderful Sponsors
We have 19 Wonderful Sponsor and 11 Design Team Members that have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public! For details on how you might win any of these prizes please see My Turner Syndrome Journey page. Thanks for learning about Turner Syndrome.

Wow, Lori, what a fantastic line up of cards! They're fabulous!! All in the Turner Syndrome colours too! I especially love that sweet angel card. I LOVE that Whimsy stamp and your beautiful background is just gorgeous. Thanks for allowing me to share in this journey. Hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour cards are stunning but none of them compare to your beautiful Julie and her smile!
ReplyDeleteLori your cards are beautiful! I love them all and what I love about them is their sentiments, they are so lovely. This hop and your story has brought me the awareness about how pre term babies can have problems that one might not have even heard of. But I also believe that God blesses these special children to the most patient and loving couples, the ones who can give these children the love others can't. I must also say that Jenna, even she's the one chosen by God to get Julie's love. You are such a lovely family and Julie is Amazing! Thank you for creating awareness about something that happens amongst 1/2500 female births. I hope more people get to know about it and more research is done about it too.
ReplyDeleteAmazing projects. I especially loved the touch of the butterfly references in most of them. Julies smile in the pictures on the page for your journey I am sure was a huge inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat an array of amazing cards Lori! I'm so glad to have been part of this awesome awareness blog hop. This has been an education for me, having been totally unaware of Turner Syndrome before now. Julie is blessed to have you as her Mom!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous cards - love them, esp the colors used from the banner. What a gorgeous young lady, a blessing from God! Thank you for creating more awareness of this syndrome - bless you!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards you made. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the blog hop. With so many females being affected by TS I'm shocked that I've never heard of it. I pray that it is a successful hop and awareness will spread far and wide. [Bunny]

ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL cards Lori!
ReplyDeleteI can SEE your creative HEART in them all.
Thank You so much for sharing about this genetic disorder and increasing awareness & knowledge. I feel quite overwhelmed at all the associated health issues, the usual lateness of diagnosis and ongoing challenges of balancing the treatments. Julie sounds very special and she is very lucky to have such caring parents dedicated to ensuring the very best for her every step along the way. Thank You being such a wonderful spokesperson for Turner's Syndrome and wishing you a successful Blog Hop.
Fantastic cards Lori. TS needs so much more awareness raised, unfortunately like so many other conditions. This is a beautiful way to get people's attention & spread such an important message at the same time. I learnt so much on the TS site, thank you for having a gold heart.
ReplyDeleteI was unaware of Turner Syndrome until this blog hop so it is helping spread the knowledge of it around. I enjoyed seeing all your pretty cards too. Each is well thought out and perfect for this cause.
ReplyDeleteWOW! These cards are all just beautiful!!! Great job of bringing awareness with your hop! So happy I could help in a small way! HUGS to Julie!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing cards, Lori! Wow! Your daughter is beautiful. I received a facebook message last night from my niece who follows my business page, she told me she didn't know about Turner Syndrome until a month ago, when she began babysitting an amazing little girl with the syndrome. She told me she is such a sweet girl... and fierce! Thanks so much for the opportunity to sponsor and participate in the TSA Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYour fabulous collection of cards is perfect for this communicative blog hop, and your precious Julie is just as beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being part of this TS hop. I have never heard of this syndrome. I love your cards especially the multifaceted star card, thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love all those beautiful cards you made and thanks for sharing so much information about this syndrome. Give your little Julie a hug from me as well. She is a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!! Thanks for sharing all the information about Turner Syndrome...have never heard of it and glad to be more informed!!
ReplyDeleteEach one of your cards are really amazing. I think many of them could work for several different occassions or maybe for no reason at all. Sometimes that is the best reason to send a card, just to let someone know they are loved. I gathered from your cards that you understand that well! By the way, I don’t have a favorite, I like them all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet photo of your beautiful butterfly! Love all of your cards and thanks for bring awareness to Turner Syndrome.

Beautiful cards! Thank you for making me and many others aware of Turner Syndrome. I never knew it existed before I read this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful, and I love the colors. I learned that Turners Syndrome only affects females, and that it can cause difficulty with math comprehension. I like that many of your cards have butterflies on them, because to me, a butterfly symbolizes new life. That is what I hope the TSF will make possible through spreading awareness of this condition.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the cards. My favorite is the one with the butterfly die.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your blog hop. My unborn great neice has been diagnosed with Turner Syndrome. I appreciate this blog hop. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDear Lori Your cards are beautiful and your strength is amazing. My prayers are with your precious butterfly Julie. I will keep her in my daily prayers as well as the other girls. Pardon my ignorance i never knew such a condition existed. Thank you for efforts to make us aware. A mothers love has no boundaries. I love you so much. Hugs and thanks from Sri Lanka
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I love the blues and greens. I have never even heard of Turners Syndrome. Sorry! But thank you for enlightening me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards. "You don't have to be perfect to be amazing." Something all little girls should hear. I think it would raise their self esteem and making them more caring individuals.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards...You are an Angel for doing this hop!
