How to Make the World a Better Place

2007-01-17T11:19:00.000-08:00

It doesn't take anything earthshaking, no enormous amount of money-I just need to start by making a better me.

Attitude- I can adjust my attitude, try to be positive and willing to help others.

Be Kind- I can be kind to those around me from the youngest to the oldest.

Compassion- I can be compassionate and caring.

Dedicated- I can be dedicated to my faith and desire to stand strong in my convictions.

Endure- I can keep going when times are tough and edure the trials with the strength God gives.

Faithful- I can be faithful to God and to those I have in my family and circle of friends. I can be faithful to do the tasks that others have trusted me with.

Good- I can try to be a good person, morale, honest, loyal and a good neighbor.

Honest- I can be honest in my dealings with others and train my children to deal honestly with everyone.

We can improve our world one person and one day at a time. Our influence is farther reaching than we know. Our friends, neighbors and especially our family follow our examples and our children mimic our behavior. If we are bullies at home, our children will feel free to bully at school. Unkindness spreads as quickly as wildfire. Let's spread kindness person to person throughout our world.

Scrapbookers are usually the sensitive folks in the group and we are blessed daily by so many people that we have met though this hobby.Kudos to you all.

How

2007-01-15T12:44:00.000-08:00

do you turn a not so good day into a better day?

do you make the most of every moment?

do you record your favorite moments?

Give a shout out to someone special

2007-01-15T10:37:00.000-08:00

Want to make someone smile? Tell the world they have inspired you!

What makes you smile?

2007-01-15T10:34:00.000-08:00

When your new CK comes, do you rush to finish chores so that you can read it?
Do you drop everything and read it cover to cover?
When Scrapbooks etc comes do you call a scrapping buddy?
Is Simple Scrapbooks or a digital mag the one that you wait for?

What is special about scrapping that can lift your spirits when you are done?

Are you always ready to scrap or do you schedule a special block of time?

Scrapbooks etc. Jan07

2007-01-13T21:52:00.000-08:00

What's Cool? To start with-Editor Melissa Inman!
Also, I enjoy hearing from readers that aren't in the mag-the Feedback section. Makes me feel as if we all have a small part in the magazine.

I enjoyed the Design Secrets Section. I love fonts so I always enjoy hearing how others choose which font to use.(no rhyme intended).

I spent a good bit of time in the inspiration section...always good stuff.

But of course my favorite section is the greatest generation!!

More in depth later. What do you like in the Jan issue?

Words Matter

2007-01-13T19:30:00.000-08:00

"There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the rest of us that it hardly behoves the best of us to talk about the rest of us." My seventh grade teacher had that on the wall in our classroom. It's a good thing for junior high kids to learn and a great thing for adults to remember.

Your opinion may not cause a change in the way someone does a certain task, but your words and the way you use them matter. Your praise can lift someone up to the highest high while your harsh words can bring someone down to the lowest low. While some people can let unkind words roll off their back like water on a ducks back, others are hurt to the core and it can be the straw that breaks the camile's back. Wouldn't you rather be the one to lift someone up and bring a smile to their face than the one who brought them to sadness or tears?

My husband and I were talking about this today when we went out for lunch. I expressed the desire to create a place where people could go and give bits of good will and encouragment-as simple as kudos for a job well done to a magazine, a friend or a general word of thanks to a scrapping community.

This blog is the result. I hope you will share some hugs and good will here.

Unsung Heroes of our Hobby

Just wanted to say thanks to all of the nice folks at our scrapping magazines, CK,Simple Scrapbooks, Srapbooks, etc., Memory Makers, Scrapbooking and Beyond and Scrapbook Trends.

I am so excited about the new SS Digital mag and appreciate the mags like Scrapook Answers, PK and others that we enjoyed for too short a time.
