I'm Back! Sorry for the delay! And Another Angels Among Us Contest!

Hey Everyone!

I got back from Lake Powell last Thursday and had such a marvelous time. I've wanted to show you photos and tell you about our trip but unfortunately I can't download my pictures to my computer. Total technical problems. So--I will tell you about it in my next entry! Let's just say it was definitely a trip to remember.

First of all, thanks to all who sent Barb a card. Her friend, Lori, wrote me a sweet note and told me how excited Barb was to get so many cards of encouragement and cheer. Her local post office is forwarding them to Texas over the next few weeks while she's getting treatments. If you haven't sent one yet, it's not too late! See the post two below. I'll keep you posted on how Barb is doing.

Here are the two random winners for a box of fun scrapbooking stuff:

Vil4fun
Carol Stoler

Please leave me a message with your snail mail address.

Now a big favor. I have another random act of kindness that I'd love you to participate in. And--by participating, you could win a Creating Keepsakes Just for Fun kit.

One of my sweet neighbors, Dana Lyman, has a dear friend whose son is in the final stages of cancer.



He most likely will not live through the summer. She just spent the last week at his house in Portland, Oregon and since that time has been brainstorming to come up with something fun to do for Spencer. She finally thought of it. She's asking people everywhere to send an envelope to Spencer with a dollar bill inside. Think how great that will be--a mailbox full of envelopes containing a $1 bill. Do not include your return address. This will add to the fun and mystery. He'll know where all envelopes have come from by the postmark. And--if you live in a different country, please participate too. I think Spencer will get quite a kick seeing currency from different countries. This really is easy--no card or creativity required!

Please address your envelope to:
Spencer Hardy
17968 NW Gilbert Lane
Portland, OR 97229

The contest is simple. Once you've sent a dollar bill to Spencer, send me a comment with your name and state (hometown too if you want). If you want to include multiple envelopes, just keep sending me a comment with your information for each envelope sent. I'll choose two winners this Friday (promise!).

Here's what you you'll get the chance to win. One of my all-time favorite kits from Creating Keepsakes: Just for Fun! If you haven't had a chance to purchase it yet, it really is a must have for your scrapbooking stash.

Here is a page by Wendy Sue Anderson--made with contents of the kit:





The kit includes a 7"x12" clear album, 12"x12" paper, rub-ons, creative tags, oversized chipboard numbers, envelopes, chunky double-sided chipboard pages, amazing transparencies, stamps, stickers...the list goes on and on! And the really cool thing with this kit is you can use the clear album pages for an album or use them as dividers within your own 12"x12" album. So whether you're creating an year-in-review album, an album celebrating your vacation to the beach, or simply extending a scrapbook layout, this kit truly lives up to its name-it's Just For Fun!

I'll write again soon. Thanks for your love and support.
