I just wanted to give you ladies an update --- last night I had another of our monthly scrap booking classes with the ladies with special needs. EVERY CLASS they ask "Jen where do you get all this AWESOME scrap booking stuff for us to use" and I always tell them "I have some really great friends that love to see you guys happy" 
and it makes me smile to think of all the great friends i have on here~~~ I know i don't say it enough but 
If you could see the look on their faces when i tell them they could use any of the paper from this large pile -- or they are in love with all the sticker letters (remember sticker letter before the cricut 
) they are beyond thrilled!!! one girl was working on a book for Disney last night and was just giddy with excitement when i was helping her pick out stickers, papers and embellishments 
another young lady was working on a holidays book and loved that there was all kinds of paper for her to use -- i even set aside some extra stickers and paper and put it with her things for her to take home and work on before the next class -- she gave me a big hug and 
was just so thrilled. I had to bring a small project for myself to work on because now its like going to a crop -- they get their own table - they spread their stuff out -- they laugh and chat with each other -- and they don't want me to bother them 
i was sitting there last night laughing to myself saying -- this is just like me when i go to a crop -- give me some good girlfriends, good conversation, lots of laughs and crafting - doesn't get much better then that -- some of the mothers wanted to stay and craft and the girls said -- no this is our time -- too funny!!
so the point of this was to say THANK YOU!! YOU GUYS ROCK!! and even if you don't know it you make a small group of young ladies with special needs feel very special - but not because of their disability but because of you generosity!!! wish all of you could be a fly on the wall for crafting night with MY GIRLS!!!

PM me if you'd like it.
nothing better then getting goodies in the mail during all this snowy weather
) and did some swaps then decided srapbooking took "too long" (what is it about youngsters today? Too many choices??
) and gave me back everything she can't use for her art exam - this includes girly/Disney swaps which I won't use (she's the only girl in our family and we've no Disney plans at present). If you could use them I'm happy to send them over to you.
