It's that time again where I have this overwhelming urge to thank the universe for being so giving by Paying it Forward. If you follow my blog you will have read a post about a little girl named Keaton aka Kiki. She is a precocious two year old with cancer. For more details and photos please go back and read Kisses for Keaton. I am doing an album ( a very special album) for the family. I asked a few people for donations and was thrilled to get a few yes'! So as a way to say thank-you I am hosting another contest to say thank-you to those that give back. Yesterday September 29,2013 Kiki's mom decided to bring herself to her daughters level. Mom wanted to show her how much she loved her and that she would do anything for her so mom shaved off her beautiful long blonde hair at a benefit held in Toronto called Kisses for Keaton Bald is Beautiful Fun Fair.
This is Kiki and her mom today.
The prize for this Pay it Forward Contest includes the Crate Paper Collection Emma's Shoppe including the diecuts. Rubons, Trinkets & Brads from Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic Collection, a Chippy from LeakyShed, ATC Chips from 7 gypsies, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad in Red Brick, a music note stamp from Kaisercraft, and a package of Pink & White Roses from Prima. This is my gift to the winner.
All you have to do to have a chance to win this prize is:
1) Become a FOLLOWER of this blog!
2) Share this contest on your Facebook page and or your blog and it will get you a extra entry for each share! (Optional)
3) Visit the Kisses for Keaton facebook page and leave some love tell them who sent you (Optional) I will be checking and again this will count for an extra chance to win!
4) Also leave a comment and let me know where you shared this post! (if you did)
That's it. Really it's about paying it forward to Kiki this month and I hope you'll join me!
The contest begins October 1st and ends on October 31st. The winner will be announced on November 1st, 2013.
I thank-you from the bottom of my heart for participating in this contest and can't wait to give away this prize that comes from my personal stash.
All the best!
Hugs
Pam
That picture of Kiki brings me to tears! I had cancer in 2005. Osteosarcoma. Bone cancer in my right bottom jaw. I could never bring myself to visit the children's part of the hospital. But, for 11 mths while I was in the hospital taking treatments & having surgery-I prayed for the children. I know what a struggle I went thru & I can't imagine a child having to go thru it. I'm so proud of Kiki's mom for embracing her challenges in such a practical way!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam for sharing this special story. I will definitely go give them some love.
Have a blessed day!!
Paying it forward always pays it back to you 10 fold~gorgeous photo and such a precious gesture done out of love <3 Thanks Pam for the chance to grab some of your yummy goodies :)

ReplyDeleteHello Pam.Îťice to find you!!This is a wonderful picture!!!And what you are doing is just so good!!!!I shared the post to my facebook page!!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/rozkardies
ReplyDeletePam, it's really sweet and kind of you to do this for the suffering family. My little nephew passed away from a brainstem tumour at 3 (same age as my son) so I can totally understand the pain of seeing such a tiny one go through such a scary thing. Will be more than happy to share this on FB for awareness.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
so kind of you to do what you can to help this family out; so heartbreaking to see a child have to endure this...shared on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ldjoncas
ReplyDeleteBless you!
Pam you are doing a truly wonderful thing for such a beautiful little princess. My prayers are with her and the family and may god bless them and you. I have shared it on my facebook - Brendas Place and also my blog - Brenda's Scrap Place.
ReplyDeletePam, I am touched at your generosity toward this suffering family. I would love to send some scrapping goodies your way. I put an album together after my best friend died of cancer. It was a labor of love. I wanted her children to know who she was. I design for Imaginisce and have an i-Rock and some bling I could send your way. You can contact me here... nixshaus@comcast.net

ReplyDeletePam, I have finally dried my eyes after reading the sweet page you did for Kiki and went to KIsses for Keaton and shed a few more tears. I have shared the site on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ann.edwards.752) and am a follower of your blog. You are an incredibly generous person to do this for the family. I do not have an active blog.
ReplyDeleteHello Pam! I was reading someone's blog and came across your comment and that's why I'm here. I remember Gabrielle's Maja giveaway some time back and she mentioned the winner was the one who did a good cause and I believe she is you. I am glad I found you and able to read more about Kiki. I am proud of what you do to help Kiki and her family; I could only send my prayers to all of you. I have followed your blog and would love to be your friend. May God bless you and Kiki's family. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHugs and smiles,
Asmah
