RAK Blog Hop - join us tonight at 12 noon EST (= 5 pm GMT)

When my friend Erin mailed me about Bella's touching story, I knew instantly that I wanted to help and participate in this good cause to bring a smile to a girls face.
Please read below what Erin says about Bella and her idea of doing blog hops for this good cause.

Join us today at 12 noon EST (=5pm GMT) to get inspired and to bring a smile to a brave girl's face.

"I'm calling on all my stamping friends to once again bring some joy and smiles to a little girl who really needs them. Her name is Bella Tucker and she was in gymnastics with my eldest daughter. Although they were not in the same class, as Bella is a bit older (8 years old), it's a close community and we'd always stay to watch "the big girls" when we could.
Bella developed a serious illness on Easter. Although the survival rate was very low, she was a brave fighter and made it through a 5 day coma. Unfortunately, she lost her arms and legs to the disease. You can read the story in depth at http://www.bellatucker.org/.
I am looking to host 4 small blog hops. The last hop I hosted had over 50 people and it was long, I thought this was it would be easier for people to participate and to keep the awareness going all month long.
The hops will begin at 12noon EST on Tuesday June 22, 29 and July 6 and 13. I was thinking of drawing a small prize winner on each of the Mondays and then a grand prize winner on July 20. I was hoping to have about 15 people in each hop.
So I am looking for hoppers, blog candy donations and for you to pass this message along to anyone you can. Anything you can do to help to spread the word, help Bella or help the hop just let me know at this address please ebailey1000@yahoo.com
People can sign up for 1 hop or any combination of the 4. Your card can be new or old, just as long as you can mail it to bring a smile to Bella.
I think that is it for now, except for the first of many GIANT THANK YOUS!!!! This is one of the most amazing communities and I know we can bring Bella some sunshine.
Thank you!!!
Erin"
