"On October 4th, 4 teenagers armed with knives broke into a home in a small town in New Hampshire. Alone and sleeping inside were a mother and her 11 year old daughter. These 4 boys broke into this home with the intent to rob and kill anyone inside. They stabbed the mom, Kimberly Cates, to death and left her daughter, Jaimie, for dead in their driveway. It was a completely random act, their home was chosen only due to its secluded surroundings."
Welcome to the Spread the Love – Stamp Something for Jamie blog hop! We’re so very happy to have you join us! The hop starts November 2 and runs through November 9. The Spread The Love – Stamp Something for Jaimie blog hop is intended to raise the Spirit of a little girl and her family – it is our hope is that everyone hopping around this week will stop for a moment and think about Jaimie and her father and what life must be like for them now. One moment in time – one senseless act of evil – has changed their lives forever. We are asking that everyone reading this message to please take a moment to make a card and send it off to Jaimie. You can make something very simple or much more involved, but please share some words of hope and love and let her know that people do care and want the best for her. Cards can be mailed here:
This story touched my heart – I cannot imagine the pain Jaimie, her Dad, and the rest of their family is going through. I pray they find comfort and healing that only God can provide. Here’s a sneak peak of my card – just a peak though as I haven’t finished all of the details yet! 
Don’t you just love Sarah Kay images? I’ll post the whole card when I’m satisfied with it. I want it to be something special for Jaimie.
In addition to the generous sponsor gifts, I have put together a little blog candy for you as well. 
Included in the package are 2 K&Company Chipboard Element Sets (1 Flower and 1 Tag), K&Company Brights Eyelet Set, K&Company Rhinestones and Brads Set, Melissa Frances Thankful Heart Ticket Book, 2 Martha Stewart Glitter sets (White and Red), Martha Stewart 2-Way Glue Pen, 200-count Dew Drops/Skittles/Baubles sampler from my friend Suzanne at Crafting-Connection, and 1 set of Pearlescent watercolor paints.
It’s easy to enter and is open to everyone:
1. Link to your Card for Jaimie (can be a blog or Gallery Link) with Mr. Linky.
2. Spread the word about our Spread the Love – Stamp Something for Jamie blog hop. (blog post or sidebar link, email, twitter, facebook, etc.)
3. Become a Follower (not necessary, but appreciated).
I’ll announce the winner via random number generator Tuesday, November 10.
If you didn’t arrive here from Tanya’s Blog, be sure to visit Katharina’s blog to start the hop – you never know what treats you’ll find along the way. Your next stop on the hop is Dianne’s blog. That’s all from me – for now. Have a fabulous Monday – and don’t forget to Hug someone you love!
