HDSA Fundraiser! Crafty Parcels for a Cause that is Close to Our Hearts!
Last year, we hosted a fundraiser for HDSA! (Huntington’s Disease Society of America) and you loved it so much that it had great success in raising almost $300,000 for HDSA. It is a charity that is very personal and close to my heart because it affects my family. Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a rare, genetic, neurodegenerative disease with a devastating impact on individuals and entire families. It is hereditary and it is terminal. Through the years we have met many wonderful people in the HD Community and when a cure is found it will bring enormous positive impact on families around the world.
So far, there is no cure for Huntington’s Disease. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease.
HD is a rare, genetic, terminal disease that has no cure. It is like having Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and ALS simultaneously. Imagine losing your memory, muscle control, and ability to control your emotions all at once. It’s devastating for the individual and entire family. We need to find a cure. Children of an HD Parent each have a 50/50 chance of inheriting this disease.
Donations help support the families, doctors, scientists, researchers, everyone in the HD community who are working tirelessly for a cure.
It is with a sense of urgency that I am helping raise money for much needed research and development of a cure and to support other families of this deadly and horrific disease.
If you are interested in purchasing a box of goods, please know that 100% of the net sales of the box will be going to support the Central Ohio HDSA as we work to find a cure and support the HD Community.

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Distress Ink Watercolor and Smooshing featuring Mama Elephant
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today I am showcasing the Mama Elephant Hot Air Balloons stamp and die set. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to watercolor the images and ink smooshed the background.
I finished off the card with sequins and a Scripty Hugs die from Simon Says Stamp. This card is super easy to create and absolutely adorable! Be sure to watch the video below to see how I made it.
