This is all in the early stages of planning so please have patience with me while I come up with the Mood Board and other things for the Blog Hop.  If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail Lori at mulchlady6@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

The Blog Hop will take place the first week in February ~ the 1st through the 7th 2020.  Why February?  Because February is Turner Syndrome Awareness Month!  With over two million females affected by ST we have to bring awareness to this random chromosomal disorder.

If anyone knows of a die or stamp company that would like to be a Sponsor for the Blog Hop please let me know.  Commenters and Card Designers will be eligible for prizes.  But our main focus for this Blog Hop is to bring Awareness of Turner Syndrome and how it affects Girls and Women throughout their lifetime!

Thank you all for taking part in this Blog Hop!  I really can't express how this touches my heart!  My goal is to get the Medical Field to do more research on the lifelong medical issues for TS Girls and Women!



Here is an update on my daughter, Julie, since the first blog hop Julie has had a Breath Test done to see if she has SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth) which is a medical condition in which a person has an unusually large population of bacterial overgrowth and this overgrowth can cause bloating, diarrhea and pain.  Julie tested positive, she was given a course of strong antibiotics but unfortunately still suffers from these issues.  Her diet has been changed to limit carbohydrates intake to prevent bacteria from growing but she is still having issues and from talking to other parents of TS girls IBS, Crohn's Disease and Celiac Disease are common.  Julie has been tested for all of them and  comes up negative.  The doctors really don't have answers.  So this is why more research needs to be done!!

Thanks for participating!!
Lori

Spreading the Word about Turner Syndrome!!

Hello Blogging Friends!!

I am more determined then ever to get the word out about Turner Syndrome!!  I have been on a high since the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop knowing that we made so many more people aware of Turner Syndrome and the many ways that it can affect girls and women lives! 

Yesterday I went to a local Scrapbooking Crop and I brought my cards and all the lovely cards that people sent me to sell for the benefit of the Turner Syndrome Foundation.  Well I stand up to explain that I am selling these cards with all the money going to the TSF and again no one there had heard of TS before except for the people that already know me!  No one asked questions as a group, but ladies came up to me during the day while I was scrapping and quietly asked me what is Turner Syndrome and then were shocked that they had never heard of it before!  Needless to say that took the wind out of my sails and has made my mission of educating the world about TS even more important!

So I am going to start planning the 2020 Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop and I am hoping that it will be bigger then this year and that we can reach so many more people!  I appreciate all of you who participated this year and especially those of you who are already on board for the 2020 Blog Hop!!  I even have some Sponsors saying they will be a Sponsor again in 2020!!

Big Hugs,

Lori

It's A Girl Thing - Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Welcome to the Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop!  

We are happy you are here!

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!

Nineteen caring Sponsors have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. 

Eleven talented and caring designers are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:

Each designer was asked to use a few of the official TS colors in their creations:

Because we have 42 DT members who want to support this awareness event, prizes will be awarded based on very easy criteria. Commenters will become eligible to win prizes. The more comments hoppers make, the more opportunities you have for winning. Here's what to do:

HOW TO WIN:

1. Leave a comment on the TS Awareness Home Blog Post stating at least one thing you learned about Turner Syndrome. Our Tab titled About Turner Syndrome has a quick pictorial explanation of many of the symptoms or limitations faced by TS females.
2. Leave a comment on one or more DT blog hop posts. 
3. Prizes will be awarded randomly from the comments left on 19 of the DT blog hop posts + by 11 of the designers who are awarding prizes of their own. So the more posts you visit and comment on, the more likely you are to win a prize. Don't forget! You must also leave one comment on the Home Blog, too.
4. We hope this will bring an awareness not only about Turner Syndrome in females, but that if any human being seems a bit out of the ordinary, there could be a health-related or genetic reason for it, and it would be nice to give everyone the benefit of the doubt in our daily lives.

Winners will be announced on February 15, 2019.

Let's get started! Click on a thumbnail photo below to leave a comment about their TS related creation. Then come back to this page for the next person in the blog hop line up. The design team thanks you for supporting and learning About Turner Syndrome.

Please come back on February 1 for more information and fun!

February is Turner Syndrome Awareness Month

Why is Awareness Month Important?

February 1 officially marks the start of Turner Syndrome Awareness Month! While it’s important to raise awareness for Turner Syndrome all year long, February is a chance to do a little more!

Everyone wants to raise awareness for a different reason because each Turner Syndrome story is so unique. Caregivers searching for ways to share a diagnosis are probably here for different reasons than a woman looking for adult resources. Or maybe you want to support someone affected by TS in your life. No matter what brought you here, it’s safe to say that we all want to raise awareness and make an impact for the future of Turner Syndrome care.

Awareness Month is so important because it is an opportunity for our community to come together. One person can make a tremendous impact, but together we can bring awareness to Turner Syndrome on a national scale!

Awareness Month 2019: Awareness in Action

This Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the power of one! If one person takes one action, the impact can be incredible! February is a special opportunity to show the world why Turner girls are amazing and why it’s important to recognize the signs of this condition that’s often misdiagnosed. Will you take a stand with us?

By participating in the "It's a Girl Thing" ~ Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop you are helping to spread information and awareness of Turner Syndrome!!  I appreciate each and every one of you who are standing with me to spread awareness!!  Thank you so very much!!
