Masons Benefit Blog Hop

For the Favorite Quote Blog Hop please see post below


Welcome to the Mason Benefit Blog Hop.  I'm so glad you are reading this.  Mason is a sweet 2 year old boy who has endured a lot of medical problems from such a young age.
...
THIS is THE LINK (http://thesearsfam.com/masons-riddle) where you can read about young Mason's life.  It was recently updated by his mother, Dana.

We are sending cards of encouragement to Mason and his family to uplift their spirits.

The challenge

Create an Encouragement Card with the outside being for Mason and the inside for his parents that will be mailed to the family.   What's nice about THIS blog hop is that YOU, the reader, get to participate in this challenge as well!

It's a win-win situation, if you think about it.  Mason and his family are going to receive a lot of wonderful cards, and you get to submit entries to win some nice blog candy along the way!

The link for your Encouragement Card submissions will be active from Sunday, February 19th at  5 AM Pacific Time Zone, through Thursday, February 23rd midnight, Pacific Time Zone.  The Winners will be announced on Monica's Blog after the 23rd.
