    I am a new mom and have also recently taken in my 24 year old niece from another state. My sister has struggled for years and my niece has helped her, and in doing so has not been able to work or grow up properly. I hope to give her a better life and assist her in gaining employment and her independence. An added plus, I'm getting her into scrapbooking! :)

    Wow what an impressive prize list. Looks like this will have a ton of winners and I think that is the perfect way to have a contest. Lets see something special about me is my willingness to help others (or so I've been told). It just makes me happy to see others happy so I don't think it is really an exceptional quality but that's what I hear from others all the time.

    I never give up on those around me. There is always something good in everyone & I try to always remember that. I'd love to win anything in the give-away. You are too generous!

    Something special about me? I'm a graduate student and have survived my first two terms! The third is looking promising too.

    I see beauty in everything. I've always appreciated beautiful things, but because of my brother's influence and interest in photography, I now see the world through a viewfinder, even without a camera in my hands, and see beauty in everything.

    In the last 2 years I have helped care for 2 breast cancer patients...one being my mother and the other being my BFF who is going through treatment right now. I also have a full time job and a household of my own. Never in my life would I have thought that I would be strong enough to watch the people closest to me go thru this. I'm a better person for it.

    i would like to say, I'm a plain jane with nothing special about me... because that's what my every day life feels like. just normal. and plain. but then my big picture life has been exciting. I've travelled half the world, lived on three continents and over the last couple of years have moved countries to live twice. I speak many languages and understand the world's cultures in a unique way. I may not practice my specialty every day. Or even feel special every day. But knowing I'm a bit special is good.. on the extra boring days, I can remember the moments in my life that are special. And cherish those, as well as normality. :) Thanks Ali!

    I am a nature lover and paper horder.... I am definitely addicted to all things paper crafting and have really been considering documenting my daily life as simple and boring as it is for my children and grandchildren... This would definitely help me have that kick to do it...
    Thanks for the opportunity

    My "something special" is my will to fight. I have a debilitating chronic pain disease that has no cure. Everything I do is a struggle. There are good days and bad days but there are never pain-free days. I have adapted my life and the things I do to try to maintain being a good mom & wife. There are times when I want to curl up in a fetal position and give-up, but then I look at my kids and husband and keep on fighting. Each day is a challenge; sometimes each moment is a challenge, but I am determined to win my life back... I have this disease...IT DOES NOT HAVE ME!
