*~*~*~* SpantastiKreations *~*~*~*

 About 4.8 million intimate partner-related physical assaults and rapes occur every year while many more assaults and rapes go unreported entirely. Over 3 million children witness violence in their home each year and those who see and hear violence in the home suffer physically and emotionally. These statistics are sad and overwhelming, but help IS out there for those that choose to break the silence.

Together we can make a difference! 
Help us instill some hope where very little probably exists and give 24 families a chance at recovery when we are able to donate $1,000 to the Bradley Angle House.  
When you create and send your purple themed card(s) with a hope filled message inside you could make all the difference in the lives of and individual or family that is hurting both physically and emotionally and feeling hopeless. 
Not only does creating a card give hope and encouragement to a person in need it also gives YOU a chance to win the grand prize for this hop...what is it you ask?  
A prize basket valued at (way) more than $100.
 Some of the generous sponsors of this hop are:

Peachy Keen Stamps, K. Andrew Designs, Verve, My Creative Time, Our Daily Bread Designs, Pink Cricut, Erin Lee Creative, Robert's Crafts, along with many other generous individuals. 

This prize basket is EPIC!

  Want more chances to win the grand prize?  
Additional entries will be given for each $1 donation you include with your card.  $1=1 entry, $5=5 entries, $10=10 entries....you get the picture. It's all up to you!   
Cards must be postmarked by June 30th for inclusion in the HUGE basket drawings and can be mailed to the following address:

Royal Purple Hop
c/o Vicki Smith
P.O. Box 1496
Millbrook, NY 12545

For this hop I have created the pretty purple card shown here:

The purple sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's and says:
With Prayers & Positive Thoughts. 
I thought this sentiment was PERFECT. This is exactly what these ladies need.   
I will be sending this card off with a well thought out, handwritten note of encouragement and a prayer that this card, as well as the many other cards the ladies in this hop as well as many of you hoppers will be sending, will be a blessing to someone in need.
