Hi... I need a little scrapping love in my life. My mom just was diagnosed with a very rare form of a demylenating disease. Would like to scrap some great things about her along with her struggle with this new lifestyle she will have to learn. Fortunately she is a very positive and strong person and I would like to remember that while documenting this.

Today and lately I am happy because we weathered the storm. I really thought we might lose everything but we didn't. We were very fortunate not to lose anything but a few trees and some fencing from Hurricane Ike. I am still sore from the cleanup but I am ready to help anywhere it is needed in the recovery process.
So again, today I am happy because of the great fortune we have had to remain in our home.
I plan on making a scrapbook for my family so we can remember what used to be and what it is now a yummynew kit might help get the creative juices flowing that are needing a bit of a kick start.
Ooooh, yummy new products and kits oh my!
