| Greetings!
Last week we had mentioned that we were expecting the arrival of some really cute House of Mouse rubber stamps. Well, they came, they saw and they went!
Yes, that's right! If you didn't get in quickly enough then you will have missed the majority of these stamps since there are only five left (in less than a week!). We do have more on order arriving hopefully early next week ... but don't wait too long once they get here. In the meantime you can catch a glimpse of House of Mouse and Gruffies at the Stampabilities website by Clicking HERE.

Where Did You Come From?
Many scrapbookers delve deep into their heritage to trace their family lineage. A short time ago one of our scrappers commented that while she has many stories to share in her books she has few photos to accompany them. Well, that all changed very quickly when a relative blessed her with an abundance of images. And, as of our Friday night Crop, she and Lilian have found numerous names and dates to clarify who's who back five generations, all with the click of a few buttons - the internet is an amazing tool!
Though Lilian and our scrapping friend found the information they were looking for on Google, if you have been struggling to track your heritage

We had a lovely thought sent to us this week by one of our crafting friends and we felt we would like to share it with all of you ...
A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE BOX:
1) Everything you do will always leave a mark.
2) you can always correct the mistakes you make.
3) what is important is what is inside of you.
4) in life, you will undergo painful sharpenings,
which will only make you better.
5)to be the best pencil, you must allow yourself to
be held and guided by the hand that holds you.
We all need to be constantly sharpened.
This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities.
Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish.
Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what's inside of you
Happy Crafting!
