Doing What You Can With Your Talents

I've been a Wish Granter with Make a Wish Foundation of Middle Tennessee for 5 years and have enjoyed every moment of the experience. I've gotten my family involved in the last 3 wishes. The entire process and the friendships made with the families are priceless.

December 2010, I had planned to make a scrapbook for PW and her family. I put it off and collected items for her book; but I never could find the time to put the book together for her. It was only going to be 20 pages; the number of pages in the standard scrapbook. Sadly, PW passed away during the spring of 2012. My heart is still heavy with regret; but I am still blessed with memory and strength.

Moving forward; Royal Scrap Club has committed to donating scrapbooks to the families of a seriously ill children whom have completed a wish through a select wish granting entity.

Below is the cover page for the DIVAS scrapbook of this journey. Please pray for us and support us with your crafting talent. If you are already supporting a similar organization; please continue. Lord knows we are all working toward the same goal; preserving the memory of a wish revealed and the wish granted.

We will have our first cut and assembly crop on March 16, 2013. During this crop will have our die cutting machines and assembly line ready to complete 100 die cuts.

I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!! I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) . I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them". Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She ha...
