"It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop and Challenge Week 2 **REMINDER**

Hello Blogging Friends!



My daughter, Julie, was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome at 6 weeks of age.  She is 33 years old now and I am amazed at how few people are aware of Turner Syndrome!  I have made it my mission to bring as much awareness of TS to as many people as I can!  I am a board member for the Turner Syndrome Foundation here in NJ and I volunteer on the TSF Awareness Committee!  I am hoping with more awareness we can get the medical field to do some much needed research on how TS affects females through their lifetime.

Here is a picture of Julie and Me at the "Take A Step for TS" back in October 2020.

Julie is the happiest and kindest person I know!  She is my hero!  She never had a bad word to say about anyone.  She has many specialist that she sees, but she loves going to the doctors!  All her doctors love her!  Actually anyone who meets Julie falls in love with her!

I am very fortunate that the Crafting Community is such a generous community and that so many Companies and Card Designers have joined me to spread awareness!!  Please shop at the Sponsors stores and please leave some love on the awesome Card Designers Blogs!!

Twenty~three Caring and Generous Sponsors are helping bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public!  To win one of the Sponsor prizes you have to make a card that is feminine and has an uplifting or encouraging message, write a post on your blog about it including details on how you made the card and the products used.  Your blog post has to link back to the original My Turner Syndrome Journey Blog here:  https://myturnersyndromejourney.blogspot.com/   

The winners will be announced on that same blog on Saturday, March 13th, 2021.
