A Purple Craft for Purple Day

Today is Purple Day to support epilepsy around the world. My dear friend Bethany invited me to participate in Craftopia. Bethany's little boy Renn has epilepsy. To get involved or to learn more about it click here. 

Since I couldn't make it Fresno California, my kids and I decided to collect all the purple stickers in the house and some sunglasses to participate.

Vincent, Julia and Susie are sticking stickers on their sunglasses

 

Vincent wrote Renn or tried to anyway.
As you can see he has trouble listening to me and thinks he can spell better than I can.

Julia, looking fabulous in her sunglasses.
This is before the purple stickers :)

Susie looking serious

Two lovely purple dots, stuck on by Susie.

Here we go Julia! That's pretty purply 

Remember to wear your purple today!

FOR RENN

         Today's post is for Renn Telles. He is five years old and loves Star Wars. 

Since last year, Renn has been visiting the hospital and his doctors to figure out some issues with his epilepsy. For more info on his progress click-->  HERE.  Two lovely ladies, Susanna & Beth, have invited us to make something special for little Renn and post it on our blogs.  To read all the other posts for Renn created by other bloggers click --> HERE.

To help cheer up Renn, I made him a VERY SHORT Star Wars comic strip,

with the help of my husband's Star Wars action figures from the 80's.
