Hello Friends!!

Happy Turner Syndrome Awareness Month!!  Turner Syndrome is very near and dear to me and I do my best to spread awareness of TS for my TS Butterfly Julie and all the other TS Butterflies!  They deserve to get the best medical care and the best education and without the knowledge of TS these fields can't help them as much as they deserve! So I will continue on in my mission to bring awareness of TS to the world!

And that brings me to another thing that is near and dear to me and that is the Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction that I host for the benefit of the Turner Syndrome Foundation! 

The card auction is a collaboration between me and Card Designers all over that world that make cards filled with LOVE and HOPE and donate them for the auction with all the donations going directly to the Turner Syndrome Foundation!  The Card Designers are the Best of the Best people on Earth!  I truly love them with all my heart because they are helping with my mission!  I hope you will take a minute or 20 to stop by the card auction and see all the love in these cards and open your heart and your wallets and make a bid on one of the cards!  You can go to the card auction with this link:  https://www.instagram.com/mulchlady6/

Here are a couple of cards I made specifically for the card auction and TS Butterflies:

Turner Syndrome is all about the Quirk X chromosome ~ either the females are born missing their whole or partial second X chromosome and that is at the root of the syndrome!  So our TS theme for 2023 is The X Factor!

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the TS Awareness Card Auction!!

Lots of love,

Lori

Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction for February 2023

 

Hello Friends,

Today I am sharing the Card Auction logo with you to remind you to look out for the awesome Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction that will be taking place on my instagram page:  https://www.instagram.com/mulchlady6/

The card auction will start on February 1st at 9:00 am EST and will end on February 28th at midnight EST.

All cards are handmade by Card Designers from all over the world.  They have made their cards with love and donated them to help me to raise funds for the Turner Syndrome Foundation in NJ.  It is a very small non-profit organization that does big things!!  They make webinars for the medical field to learn more about TS and they educate families dealing with TS and have never heard of it before.  They are a wonderful support!  They rely solely on donations and only have 2 paid employees and they get help from many dedicated volunteers!

Please consider helping by buying a card or if you make cards by donating a card!

 If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me at:  mulchlady6@gmail.com.

Now go mark your calendars for February 1st and bid with your heart!

Thanks!

Lori

The X Factor ~ Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction for February 2023

 

Hello Turner Syndrome Families and Friends!!

I hope this email finds you happy and healthy!  I am writing to you today about my mission to continue to bring Awareness of Turner Syndrome to the world and to help the Turner Syndrome Foundation to continue to do more programs to educate the public, the medical field and educators to the ways the partial or complete missing X chromosome impacts the girls and women with TS!    The Turner Syndrome Foundation is a non-profit and the Card Auction is a huge source of funds 
I will be hosting the Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction again in February 2023.  I am asking all of my faithful and new Card Designers to help me make the TS Awareness Card Auction a huge success by making and donating a card for the auction.  The card can be for any occasion and must include an envelope.  You can either mail the card out to the highest bidder after I receive proof of their donation or you can mail the card to me ahead of time and I will mail it out to the winner after their donation is confirmed.
The TS Card Auction will take place on my Instagram account at:  @mulchlady6 and I will need a photo of your card by January 10th so I can start posting photos of the cards onto the instagram page.  
I would like to update you on something that Julie and I enjoyed this summer.  TSF had a Picnic at Liberty Lake in NJ for Turner Syndrome females and  their families and Julie and I went to it and had a wonderful time!  We got to meet many TS Butterflies and I have to tell you that Turner Syndrome affects each individual female differently!  But one quality is dominant in that these girls and women are happy and social individuals!  It was a wonderful event and I hope to see more events like this in the future!!
So please give some thought to donating a card or two for this Card Auction!  I really appreciate your continued support and I could never do this auction without the caring and generosity of all the wonderful card designers in the card making community!

Thanks so very much for all you do to help make the world a better place!

Here is a photo of us leaving to go to the TS Liberty Lake Picnic!

If you or someone you know would like to make and donate a card for this Turner Syndrome 
Awareness Card Auction please get in touch with me at:  mulchlady6@gmail.com

Big Hugs,

Lori

Help Me Reach My Goal!

 Help me reach my goal!!

I set out to raise $10,000 in support of Turner Syndrome awareness and I asked a few friends to join me by making a card that they love to be donated to the auction.  Actually, it was much more that just a few friends, it was a network of designers!  Card Designers from around the world rallied behind me to support my ambitious efforts, but I still need your help to reach my lofty fundraising goal.

The Card Heroes Auction was held over the 4th of July weekend and because it was such a success, I opened it up again to run through July 31st.  New items have been added to the auction including cards and scrapbooking and card making supplies, some are Creative Memories products that I am donating.  Every dollar goes to this great cause!  We want everyone to learn more about Turner Syndrome and you can help by sharing the Instagram link:  @mulchlady6

I have been busy settling the July 4th auction and mailing out cards to the lucky winners.  I am very grateful to everyone who supported the event.  Thank you everyone for your outpouring of generosity, love and learning about Turner Syndrome and helping to spread awareness by sharing information through your networks.  Many of the Card Designers are especially awesome to have posted about the event on their social media pages asking others to learn something about Turner Syndrome and also ask their family, fans and friends to support the cause by purchasing a card!

The event has been extended to July 31st and the winners will be announced on August 1st.  Take a look, make a bid and support the cause!

Thank you!

Lori
