Halloween SpooktacularBanners Blog Hop~ Day 1

~if you are looking for the Monster Mash Blog Hop click HERE~

Welcome to the
Halloween Spooktacular Banners Blog Hop
This is day 1 of a great 2 day hop
hosted by
Ellen
from
Today and Tomorrow (September 1 and 2nd), 30+fantastic papercrafters have come together to create Halloween-themed banners.We all will then be donating these banners to Ellen (CardMonkey), who works as an Admissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC), www.pediatricspecialty.com.

PSC is a long-term care facility for special needs children who are medically-fragile and/or technologically-dependent. The babies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and are admitted from all over the country.

Some are infants, born prematurely and before their lungs have had a chance to mature. Others have serious birth defects, illnesses or injuries from accidents that cause them to need tender loving care in a home-like environment -- many for their lifetimes.

Our banners are meant to cheer the young patients, their families, and the staff at PSC.
