National Marrow Donor Registry Drive

I wanted to share an event that is dear to my heart. The National Marrow Donor Registry pairs potential donors up with patients who need life-saving bone marrow transplants. However, there aren't nearly enough potential donoros. Usually there is a $52 testing fee associated with the HLA testing to be registered in the Registry, but until September 22 the fees will be sponsored through Nascar. If you have ever thought of registering, or even if this is the first you have ever heard of it, please go read the information and seriously consider becoming a registered donor today.

Because this is so important to me (my son needs a bone marrow transplant) I would like to give you even further incentive to get registered. Everybody who emails me at luckysmithdesigns AT gmail DOT com between now and the 22nd with proof that you have registered will be entered into a drawing to win a $20 gift certificate to my store. Scrapbook supplies and the chance to save a life... how great does that sound?

Update:
It looks like you can't follow a link directly to the sponsored page. I called NMDR, and Sherry told me we have to follow a certain path for it to be free because of their security issues to avoid hacking.

First go to www.marrow.org

On the right side of the screen, under the cord blood box is a box that says "Events" Click on the link that says "Nascar Foundation Drive." About 3/4 of the way down that page, you will click on "join online now." Then finish filling in the paperwork and the Promo Code will automatically generate. I know it is a couple of extra clicks, but please don't let that deter you from joining!

Teacher's Pet Freebies!

I have been participating in the Teacher's Pet program at Funky Playground Designs. This is good news for you because it means you get free kits for the next couple of weeks! This week's challenge is to extract eight different elements. Click here to get the info on this kit and the download link. I am not one to ask for praise, but for this contest I do ask that if you like the kits to please take a moment and leave a quick comment on it in my FPD gallery! I would really appreciate it. As always, let me know if you use these in a layout and would like me to feature the layout here! I would love to share it.

Last week we needed to make a trendy kit. With the big promo for the release of the new Twilight book, and the surge in chess' popularity, I made a chess kit. Although it isn't linked in the gallery anymore, I am going to re-open the link until Monday. If you didn't get a chance to d/l this set while the link was up, hurry and do so now! Click here to download! I am working on an add-on pack that I will be selling in my store in the near future.
