There is something that is really sad for me right now. In so much, that I'm having a hard time sleeping. Before I talk about it- I thought I would begin my post with some cheer. I want to give away a FUN prize. I just got some of my new items and was so thrilled with the outcome. So here is the prize: 
Some Damask paper, my black chipboard bracket book covers, my NEW**** baby pink chipboard bracket covers, my crown perfect closures, a clear dome ring (size 8) that I made with a star in the center of the ring, and last a roll of dotted 7 gypsies gaffer tape.
The ring is super simple...but if you like funky rings- it's pretty cool.
These covers are so versatile. You can add them to any book, or layout for that matter. They are real leather, and you can paint, stamp or ink the strap if you like. This is just one of the images that the closures come in. I'm giving away the CROWN closure.
A little bigger image of just the PINK covers. They are shipping now!!!! I got my pink covers yesterday and they are super cute!!!!
So if you want a chance to win- just post a comment. Thanks!!!!
So for the sad news. A friend of mine (Ginger)- husbands has just found out that he has cancer. Her husband, Bryce is only 35 years old. They have four young children, one is under one years old. Recently, Bryce was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. They are the most beautiful family and this is a complete shock to them. Bryce has been sick for several months. After several visits to doctors, they thought it was nothing serious- MRI's and CAT scans did not show the cancer. They do not have medical insurance. My heart is so sad and I wish like anything that I could do something. What can you do??? I feel helpless.
In a effort to alleviate some of the financial burdens of fighting such a destructive and devastating disease, our community will hold a yard sale to help their family. We had a neighborhood meeting last night to plan the sale. If you are in UTAH- please come to this event and support the fund raiser. It will be
May 31st
8-12 noon
McMillan Elementary
5900 S 315 E (right off Fashion Place Blvd)
Murray UTAH
Ginger is one of the girls who introduced me to scrap booking. I will be at the yard sale at 6am setting up and working at the event. I will be donating a lot of scrapbook products and such. I hope if your anywhere near the event, you will come and help support this dear family. There will be a car wash and a bake sale too. Cute David Archuletta has so graciously donated items to be raffled. Let me just say... I HATE CANCER!!!! I hate it...
As for David Archuleta. He was amazing last night. When he sings, I feel so moved. I think no matter what- win or lose tonight... HE will be just fine. David has his whole family and a lot of close friends there with him tonight. My family will be glued to the TV tonight. I think these two David's are both so talented and who ever wins...well, they both are winners!!!!!
So post a comment and good luck on the prize. I wanted this post to end in a happy positive post...
I heard a thought today..."cherish TODAY...there are no promises of tomorrow". This is so true. I have been hugging my kids every time they pass me- they are thinking I'm crazy, but hey- you can NEVER show your kids/husband/parents/friends too much love...
