My Fresh Start

Hello everyone,

This is a post for My Pink Stamper January 2012 Fresh Start Blog Hop.  You can see her blog here at 

Here is a quick and easy goody bag I made using the Happily Ever After and Going Places Cartridges.  This is a project I made for the family we are working for to help build them a house.  We will be selling cookies in these bags to help raise more money.  

Don't ya just love my "cookies"?  LOL!  I was just trying to make it look good.  :)

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to share some information my sister-in-law is passionate about.  Below explains what this is about.  We would so appreciate if you could take time to read through this.  If you can, we would appreciate any donations sent to the address below to help with this family in need.  Thank you so much.

Heritage Builders 1511 S Main St Lindale TX 75771 903-571-8001 

To Whom It May Concern:

We have been made aware of a local Lindale family who has an urgent housing need. We recently visited this family’s home to attempt basic repairs and have determined that the home is beyond repair and poses a significant health and safety risk to this family of six. Some of the conditions we found in the home are no central heat or air, no working cooktop or oven, rotted flooring, and mold which we feel has led to a severe respiratory problem with the youngest child. Our main concern at this point is for the health and safety of this family of six. To repair this small home would not be cost effective. Our organization has begun a campaign to give a home to this hard working family who otherwise has no financial means of improving their current living conditions. We have designed a modest home and have asked all of our subcontractors who have been blessed with work during these hard economic times to donate their time, talents or materials to this project. In doing this, we will be able to construct this home for a fraction of the normal cost. We are now seeking the assistance of local organizations or individuals to help meet the remaining financial need of approximately $45,000.00. Our goal is to begin construction within 30 days.

Donations can be dropped off at either location:

Sincerely,
Bill Andreason Heritage Builders

Here is a video I made (and my daughter) about Smash Books.  I ordered them from Amazon.  I love that site!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Hope everyone had a great & safe new years.  We did.  We had most of our family together with us.  There are a couple who live outside the state so, they were not able to come celebrate with us.

Well, this is a new year.  I am hoping it is a new year for us too on our blog.  We are going to need to set a "resolution" for keeping our blog up to date more often.  We just got so busy last year.  We had family in hospital and it took a lot of time out of our crafting.  But it's much better and we are all on the road to a great year.

I will try and post more videos and projects.  My mom will fit in as she can.  She and my dad are still working on that darn rent house.  But they are almost done.  YAY!

So, I hope to hear from you more often, as I post more videos and projects.

Have a great year everyone!
