Light it Up Blue Blog Hop

Today a lot of crafty peeps and myself are participating in the Light it Up Blue Blog Hop for Autism awareness. This hop is near and dear to me because my son, Christopher, is autistic. Even though our family challenges differ in many ways to those with typical children, like any other mother, what I want most for Christopher is happiness. 





(Buy Now - $4.99)

Christopher's happiness in life will depend on a lot of things, one being that people educate themselves about autism and make room in this world for him and all those who are different from ourselves. 

Thank you for joining all of us today for this very special hop!  And thank you to all the sponsors who have donated prizes for the event, including Reverse Confetti. For a list of prize donors and information, click here. If you would like a chance to win one of the prizes, please leave a comment here and as many of the stops on the hop as you can.
