This is what his Mom has said about creating the Page, Happy Birthday Colin:
I am Colin's mom, I created this page for my amazing, wonderful, challenging son who is about to turn 11 on March 9th. Because of Colin's disabilities, social skills are not easy for him, and he often acts out in school, and the other kids don't like him. So when I asked him if he wanted a party for his birthday, he said there wasn't a point because he has no friends. He eats lunch alone in the office everyday because no one will let him sit with them, and rather than force someone to be unhappy with his presence, he sits alone in the office. So I thought, if I could create a page where people could send him positive thoughts and encouraging words, that would be better than any birthday party. Please join me in making my very original son feel special on his day.
As card makers I know you will all want to join in Colin's special day and pop a card in the mail for him. You could also 'like' his page on Face Book if you have an account. His parents are trying to keep this all hush hush until the big reveal on his birthday. They have been posting photos of the many post office trips they are making with tons of envelopes and packages received. I love how this reinforces my thought that people, in general, are truly good and generous! I think it will take him a full year to open everything up, how FUN!!!
For those of you without a Face Book Page, here is his address:

Here is my card, one I will be entering into the Flourishes Challenge, WOOD You Be Mine, to add a wood element to your project.
Fabulous bike image from the set, Bike Ride, sentiment from Dahlias. Both available from Flourishes. The wood element is a little banner tag that I colored with a Copic marker and added Stickles too.
I hope you all join in wishing Colin a very special birthday!!! Thank you!
Enjoy~~
