Today, I put together a package of paper, stickers, stamps, stencils, cards, and envelopes for a little boy named Tom.
His mother, Johanna, sweetly posted on a message board that I am a member of requesting items for him. He is 9 and a half years old, autistic, and non-verbal. Tom has recently found joy in putting together intricate greeting cards, so I contacted Johanna a few days ago. I recieved her mailing information this morning, so I'll be sending the package out soon! I'm so excited for them to recieve it. I really hope they enjoy the items I'm sending.

Call for Service
Noah Biorkman is a five year old boy living in Milford, Michigan. He is in the last stages of a two and a half year battle with Neuroblastoma cancer. His family is celebrating Christmas next week, because they are not sure that Noah will make it to the end of December. One of Noah's last wishes is to recieve lots of Christmas cards this "Christmas" and Scraps of Hope is on board. Please do your part in helping out this sweet boy.
Send cards to:
Noah Biorkman
c/o Scott Biorkman
3480 Petoskey Way
Milford, MI 48380
or
Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI 48178
Here's a card I've made for Noah:
On October 4th, 4 teenagers armed with knives broke into a home in a small town in New Hampshire. Alone and sleeping inside were a mother and her 11 year old daughter. These 4 boys broke into this home with the intent to rob and kill anyone inside. They stabbed the mom, Kimberly Cates, to death and left her daughter, Jaimie, for dead in their driveway. It was a completely random act, their home was chosen only due to its secluded surroundings."
Jaimie needs support from anyone willing to give some. Again, Scraps of Hope is working on this cause already. Please send her a card with your message of love and hope to:
Jaimie Cates
c/o Mont Vernon Fire Station
Main Street
Mont Vernon, NH 03057
Here is Jaimie's card:

Scraps of Hope Studio!
Sorry for the less than appealing quality of the photos, but here's a look inside my studio, where the magic happens! I could use some throw pillows, color on the wall, a new desk and some decor, but it's getting there. (: As you can see, my passion for the art of papercrafting is strong. I'm so ready to share it with the world!
Here's a look at my cricut/cuttlebug/cropadile/stamp station as well as my clear shoe rack, which appropriately stores my clear stamps. The red boxes upon the shelf contain rubber mounted stamps. The numbers on the tags of these boxes coordinate with the numbers in the clear stamp rack. All stamps of any given number are cataloged in the same category in my stamp cataloging binder, where I've stamped each and every stamp I own.
Here, you see my desk. Poor thing's seen better days.
The centerpiece of the room is my Expedit bookshelf from Ikea. Beautiful, isn't she? It's not quite full yet, but it'll get there. I need some more of those black inserts so that I don't have to "showcase" the not-so-pretty items.
The box full of alphabet stamps!
"Loose" Embellishments. (Not in packages) (Well...for the most part)
Chipboard, rub-on, and sticker alphabets.
The daybed (:
Just a glimpse, might post more later when it's a bit more organized and there's actually some light to photograph with! Thanks for looking guys!

Scraps of Hope
Because of my hectic highschool/college schedule, Scraps of Hope hasn't been getting the attention it deserves, but I'm back everyone! I'll be home from school for approximately two weeks following my surgery, giving me a little bit of time to work on some projects to better our cause.
As most of you know, I have been working hard on our online store, also titled Scraps of Hope. The purpose of this is to raise money for the non-profit itself. At this point there have been 36 sales and I'm hoping to build stock during my recovery so that there may be many more to come!
In an order of business, I am still looking for a lawyer to discuss legal processes with. If you know anyone in the Charlotte area or would like to help out with this, please contact me. Someone looking for pro bono would be nice ;)
Sorry if I've been rambling or senseless, I am afterall recovering from surgery which took place earlier today. Feel free to comment/email with any suggestions, questions, or concerns. I'll gladly take each of them in with an open mind.
I'm hoping to be back soon with prizes, giveaways, and tips for my fellow scrapbookers. I'm in a giving mood. :)
Take Care
