My brother-in-law and sister started a foundation for at risk children 20 years ago. It was their 20 year anniversary fundraiser last Thursday night. I worked with one of my other sister's to pot 75 orchids and I don't know how many geraniums, along with table 'fluffing' for 6+ local chef's and making 15+ huge flower arrangements to be auctioned off. It was a long three days, but well worth the effort after they raised close to 2 million dollars for the foundation. Many of the kids and their mentors (who are dedicated to them for a minimum of 12 years)spoke and it was really moving to see and hear how 'Friends of the Children' has changed their lives so profusely. Most of the graduates go on to college or trade school and have promising futures and careers to look forward to. Most importantly, they are no longer 'at risk,' they are fully functioning, active members of our society. So proud of my BIL and sister for beginning this program!

Having Some HUGE Scrapbook Supply Sales!
Hi everyone!
Just a quick update, we are tentatiely thinking about moving out to our property and begin building. In thinking about living in a shop and our trailer, I thought, "I have got to get rid of some of my scrapbooking supplies!" What better way than to have some huge lots up for sale, right?
My first box has 150 12x12 pieces of designer papers, flowers from Prima, Heidi Swapp, some chipboard elements, letter stickers (thickers included).....tons of embelishments and fun goodies. I had to go through the video very quickly, but if you are interested or have any questions, please ask away. I am asking $50 which includes s/h (I figured a flat-rate box was my best bet, since it will be heavy, and the size that fits 12x12 costs a little oer $15). Check out my video if you are interested in some goodies!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day!
