That's a very generous giveaway. Scrapbooking has changed my life by helping me to appreciate the little everyday moments we often take for granted.

Scrapbooking saved my life, okay, at least my sanity. I started scrapbooking 2weeks before my second baby was born. After which I fell into a deep post partum depression. My creative memories outings were a true life saver, my only socializing, my only creative outlet. While I'm no longer sick, 12 yrs later, I still crave my creating time.

Holy Spectacular Prize, Batman!!!
I will be in total shock if I win. Wow!
I am a military wife, so I have to make new friends every few years. Finding a scrapbooking group is the first thing I do to find friends.

Scrapbooking has given me a way to process the past. To celebrate it, to relive it, and sometimes put it to "rest"

Wowza! Scrapbooking has only made me more aware to be grateful for everything in my life. It has made me more appreciative of the little things. It's the memories that matter.

Scrapbooking has brought me friends that I never would have met otherwise! For that, I'm truly appreciative.

This truly is a gift to drool over, so many beautiful items. while I don't scrapbook, I make cards and that is a mini version of scrapbooking. Card making has given me something that I can lose myself in and relieve stress while creating beautiful cards to send and brighten someones day. I have gotten much inspiration from Scrapbooking and Cards Today. It is the best hobby ever! I hope I am lucky but good luck to all.

What has scrapbooking done for me? It's opened doors to a creative side of myself I didn't know was there. It's given me a chance to have some me time, remember special moments and preserve my memories.

What an amazing giveaway!! As for how scrapbooking changed my life...it would have to be the amazing friends that I have met from across Canada and the U.S Recently this year I was able to meet quite a few of them and I feel very blessed that it could happen.

Scrapbooking is a way for me to exercise the otherside of my brain... I work in a lab by day-- surrounded by all things analytical and scientific... its a wonderful escape to be able to tap into my creative side on the weekends! :-)
Posted by: Kristen Cohen | September 03, 2010 at 09:57 AM
Scrapbooking makes me feel "happy" -- just doesn't get better than that.
Posted by: Donna U | September 03, 2010 at 10:00 AM
wow, what a giveaway....Ive always wanted to attend Creative Escape, its just to far away and cost prohibited. But the Kits would be amazing. Scrapbooking for me is my time away from the world. My time to let creativity out, plus in the end I have memories worth displaying!
Posted by: Christi Parker | September 03, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Wow! That is an amazing give away! I would love to win it! Scrapbooking is a huge relazation for me. It is my get away, but at the same time I feel like I am giving my family the most special gift - their special moments and everyday moments recorded forever.
