Hello, and welcome to my blog. You are visiting me; I am Denita and I live in Australia. Thankyou for joining me from Jenny's Blog, or may have started from here.
I was invited to be a part of this wonderful 'Autism Awareness Blog Hop', by Maria Willis.
What a wonderful opportunity for us to come together and talk about, raise awareness and be educated about Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that may have already impacted yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbours - or not. 


I have created a card for a dear friend of mine, and this time last week she was at her wits end with worry and had lots of questions about the possible placement of her youngest son into an Aspect school - not mainstream, and away from his 2 big brothers.
I just wanted to send her some love and friendship.

'Shine'
For my friend Christie, and her little boy Sam. 
And to everyone else in the ASD community. 
I know a lot of families with children who have been diagnosed with ASD. 
As a Registered Nurse, I see families all the time in my Clinic. The opportunity to assist with referals to particular Specialists, Allied Health or Services pertaining to the child's and families needs is important when you live in a small community. 

I die-cut the 'Sunshine' sentiment, and snipped away the 'Sun'. I added the little heart which belongs to the tag topper in the 'Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies' to add it to the letter i.

'There's nothing little about the light you shine'
Could there be a better quote?

A bit of a stormy scene, yet the Lighthouse represents standing strong and tall with it's beam of light for our ASD community, and to find the support and assistance they require.
'A child with special needs inspires you to be a better person'. 

Maria is next on the Blog Hop. Thankyou Maria for this opportunity and for gathering Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world to band together.

  10. I just adore your card Denita! The meaning behind it is so beautiful, and that sentiment is just perfect. I am an RN too, but work in Pediatric Critical Care. It's so neat to discover stamping friends that share the same passion for caring. Hugs from your Canadian friend.💖

  11. I love how the card you created reminds us all to support friends and families we know who deal with the sometimes tough decisions that can come along with having a family member on the Spectrum. Such a sweet thing to send your kind thoughts and surprise your friend with a hand written note letting her know you are there for her. Things like that go such a long way to brighten someones day - I'm certain it made an impact on her ;)
