I have posted this on PaperCrafts and have had such a turn out. I have over 100 people signed up and 3 organizations. As you know last December we lost our 45 day old son, Dylan. October 26 will be his first birthday (we were not looking forward to it until we came up with this idea). What you do is send me a SASE (with only 1 $0.37 stamp on it) and in return I mail you a handmade tag (with Dylan's info on it), a balloon, and string. All you do is on Oct. 26 at any time you release the balloon. And then if you would please take a picture of your balloon on its way and mail it to me for a scrapbook (I will provide postage for the picture). We are so excited about the response we have received from this. If you are interested (please do not feel you have) email me with the subject balloons at mickey8888ATverizonDOTnet. I hope to have all those interested signed up by Sept 15 so I know how many tags to make, I would like to have them back to you early to mid October. Thanks a bunch.

Chrissy, by the way thank you for my box of stickers. I am on a business trip right now, so I did not get a chance to thank you, so thank you my NSSSF. I loved them. The main reason I am replying though is because I just wanted to confirm that I will be getting that envelope to you. I am also going to get a bunch of balloons for everyone on my team, and fill them with helium. We will all let them go at the same time, and take a picture for you. I told you I of course would follow through on this because 1. I am you NSSSF, and 2. it is my bday too.

Chrissy,

What a beautiful way to honor and remember sweet Dylan. I would love to participate. May all of our balloons bring joy to your heart.
