Thank you all so much for all of your wise and wonderful advice about toothfairies. You've provided some very imaginative and creative suggestions and I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who has been caught out! I'll be waiting (hopefully with my fineliner in hand) to see what happens when Amy's next wobbly tooth appears!
Every now and then an opportunity to spread a little happiness comes along and you're all such kind-hearted folk that I thought you might like to join me in this one. I had a lovely email from Colleen telling me all about her 5 year old daughter Ellie who is bravely fighting a rare and aggressive cancerous brain tumour. She's already had two operations and radiation therapy earlier this year and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Colleen has come up with a wonderful way to raise Ellie's spirits and that's where you and I come in. It's a simple campaign - no big donations or fundraising, just a small request to send a card or a picture to Ellie if you have time. Details of the campaign are here and there's a journal about her treatment here.
I hope that there are a few of you who will have a chance over the weekend to send off a card wishing all the best to Ellie. Maybe you'll have time to make one with your children, put one together yourself or pick one up while you're out shopping. Whatever you send it will clearly make a special little girl's difficult struggle a little easier.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the weekend x
