Turner Syndrome Blog Hop

Hello Friends and Welcome to a VERY IMPORTANT AWARENESS BLOG HOP today!

I know it's a long post but please stay with me to the end where you will find details on how you can play along and possibly win some AMAZING prizes along the way.  My prize offering will be shared at the end of this post.

LET'S GET STARTED!


Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!

This hop runs February 1st thru the 7th. 
Prize Winners will be announced on February 15, 2020.


HOW TO WIN:
  1. Leave a comment on the TS Awareness Home Blog Post stating at least one thing you learned about Turner Syndrome. Our Tab titled About Turner Syndrome has a quick pictorial explanation of many of the symptoms or limitations faced by TS females.
  2. Leave a comment on one or more DT blog hop posts.
  3. Prizes will be awarded randomly from the comments left on 19 of the DT blog hop posts + by 11 of the designers who are awarding prizes of their own. So the more posts you visit and comment on, the more likely you are to win a prize. Don't forget! You must also leave one comment on the Home Blog, too.
  4. We hope this will bring an awareness not only about Turner Syndrome in females, but that if any human being seems a bit out of the ordinary, there could be a health-related or genetic reason for it, and it would be nice to give everyone the benefit of the doubt in our daily lives.
  5.  

Thirty-six caring Sponsors and nine DT Members are offering prizes to commenters and they are helping bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Thanks for learning About Turner Syndrome


Nine designers (including MWAH!) are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:


I must admit I had no idea this disorder even existed until Lori made me aware of it through her daughter.  Take a minute and TAKE A PEEK AT THIS to learn more about the effects of this disorder and then please help spread the word so some day maybe they will find a cure!

My TS related project draws inspiration from this TS official mood board:



 My first card . . . . . . . .


Card #2


Card #3


I hope you've found inspiration from my designs and it was my pleasure to create these cards of encouragement for the cause!  Please be sure to visit the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop 2020  page to become eligible for prizes.

My Prize Offering ...


 The winners of the Sponsors Prizes will be posted on the main TSA blog on 2/15/2020.  And, I will be sharing the winner of MY prize here on my blog and on the TSA blog on that same date ... Feb. 15th.

I  hope you too will  help spread the word about this cause.
Don't forget to visit the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop page to become eligible for prizes.

Thanks for sticking with me to the end!
As always . . .

  58. DELIGHTFUL cards Darlene, all the more so from how you were INSPIRED!
    I hopped along last year and there are so many aspects to this genetic disorder that it is almost overwhelming, especially when we remember that less than 2% of babies conceived survive to birth, precious girls that face the challenges each day with their families. It is amazing how illness and adversity brings out the best in people, especially Mothers like Lori and our wonderful creative community.
    THANK YOU for sharing and supporting the Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop :)
    PS - I am in Australia, so please don't include me in your generous prize draw, postage is way too expensive
