The documentary focused on a former Miss USA contestant names Abbey Curran. She competed at the 2008 Miss USA pageant, with one amazing difference from all the other contestants. She has Cerebral Palsey. She didn't let that stop her from doing something she felt passionately about... She then went on to begin the Miss You Can Do It Pageant, which is for other girls with disabilities. <br />
If I said I didn't cry, I would be a liar, at some parts I bawled my eyes out. So many of these little girls had such amazing hearts. It filled me such a sense of urgency to do something, I had to start googling. Before I even knew what I could truly offer, I was on the phone with Abbey Curran herself, volunteering to make chocolate bars or cookies or ANYTHING for these little girls. The pageant is in less then a month, so I may or may not have my work cut out for me, considering I have a wedding cake to make for August 3rd, my opening party for CTMH around July 28th, and my stepfathers retirement party on July 21st....<br />
Oh, and should I mention that this is all taking place in Illinois... Yeah, so, I am going to have to ship whatever I make there. :) Going to be SOOOOO worth it though!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15544739418628736244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333450405173569432.post-17936938942920644442013-07-05T18:16:00.000-07:002013-07-05T18:16:28.731-07:00GenerosoPEAS!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I posted on 2Peas about how I get scrap stash envy, and some of the responses where from Peas that felt my pain, while others said they couldn't relate. I expected both of those types of responses. What I didn't expect was the responses from some very amazing Peas that where willing to share their stash with me, and weren't expecting much in return. Today, when the mail showed up, I was thrilled and excited to see what was waiting for me in the 2 packages that showed up. Here are some of what the amazing ladies sent: </span><br />

I used some different washi tape, and even made some of my own washi with markers and masking tape. I Modge-Podged the whole thing a few times, so it has a nice Matte finish, and is somewhat water-resistant. </div>

I think the use of 2 boxes gave the paper holder extra stability.</div>

I never thought I would be a blogger, but, here I am. I am starting this blog because I have a love for crafts, projects, food, fun, and all that good stuff.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The main focus of this blog will be all about scrap booking and paper crafting. I do a lot of that, and would love to showcase what I do to my friends and family that might not understand what Paper Crafting really is. I have a hard time staying up to date on the current trends, products, and fads, so I typically get a lot of my stash from other peoples purges. I hope that I can encourage others to realize they have amazing treasures in their own stash that may be 5 years old, but can be pulled into your current product stash perfectly. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also love food, so I will probably talk about that a lot. Different cakes I am working on, new recipes I try, if I got to eat something awesome....I'm going to share with YOU!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I might also talk a little about my journey to being mentally and physically well. I think all of these things tie in together, Sound Mind, Sound Body, Sound Soul. If you eat right and exercise, your head will have more clarity and allow you to 'see' things you may not have seen before. When you are able to 'see' things with more clarity, it comes out in your pages and projects. And, if you are like me, creating helps gives you a center, a place to come back too. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy my blog and y creations! I am new at this, so please bare with me while I get it all down. :) I hope to post videos, links to some of my favorite sites, and more!! Thanks!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15544739418628736244noreply@blogger.com0
