I enjoy hanging out at the Nurseing homes and helping them be creative. I make up kits with all my scraps and take them to the Nurseing homes to spend time with everyone. That's my giving back to the community. God Bless All Today it's a Great day with the Lord......

What's so speical about me you ask? My relationship with my mom. Even after I moved 3,000 miles away from her still call her almost every day. We even "Skrype" (that is our term for scrapooking while Skyping). We loved to scrapbook together and miss our weekly opportunities...now we still have them, but we use skype! Gotta love technology! Thanks for the awesome opportunity to win some fab prizes!

Hard to focus on why I'm special~ guess that's one of the things I'm told a lot is that I think of others first. When my 23 yr. old daughter asked me how old was I when I became so thoughtful of others first it made me feel special.

I am special because I teach middle school aged kids, many who have special needs. They are ALL welcome in my classroom.

I volunteer at a teen center in my neighborhood.It brings me joy to give my time. I do a craft project every qarter with them.

I've not been able to craft since the end of May. After an operation to revise a knee replacement I'm using a walker and not allowed to go up and down stairs. I never realized how much I need my crafting to help me feel good. I can't wait till I get the okay to do stairs.

Thanks! What great prizes!

I am special because I am making positive changes in my life this year. And, I feel really good about them!

Thanks for doing this. As for me being special: I have a hard time saying that because I never ever thought of me this way. But I am working hard on improving myself so I can be a better mom and wife, and I think that is special.

Hmmm something special about me...it would have to be my laughter. I have been told people know I am in the room even before they see me because they hear me laugh. If I bring a smile to someone's face just by laughing - well that's pretty special. Thanks for the fabulous giveaways, Ali!

This is a bit difficult as I am doing my best not to focus on how "special" I am. I want to look anew at the people I know and appreciate what is special about them, and to also have that same awareness when I meet someone new.

I am a good listener and available to hear without judgement.

Hi TIM sent me! I had to ask my husband whats so special about me. He's said...I'm Sweet,thoughtful,creative and i make good salsa!!

Thanks so much Ali. I tried clicking on the 1st post but coudl'nt leave a comment there. I think the most exceptional thing about me is that I'm always learning. I hope to be learning in my 90s still. I'm only 63, but the last 5 years have been exceptional. I have learned different software programs, started scrapbooking, card making and die cutting. Love it that in my retiring years I can be productive. Thanks for the chance to win. Your sponsors have outdone themselves.

Hugs,

Wow! On top of what YOU give us, through your blog & all, you've rounded up some awesome sponsors, too! Thank you all!
Hmmm...what's special or exceptional about ME??? Well, according to my 21-year-old daughter, it's my creativity & my willingness to show, to teach others who to do things - and I'd have to agree. I love to teach!!

Something special about me is that I'm a good friend. That is not something that should be special, a good friend should be very common.

Something special about me and something I am very proud of is that I am a very loyal person. I will do anything for the people close to me and I stick by them through thick and thin. :-)

This is the icing on the cade of all giveaways I have ever seen. Over the top amazing!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to get in on it!!

I don't feel that I am special. I am a hermit who avoids the outside life. I am single with two dogs who are my life. However, I love my family and will do anything for them. I am told I am very creative and I make little things for my grandma to give her friends at her table for every holiday. I will go out of my way to do things my parents need done. I go fishing with my dad just to spend time with him even though I really don't care for it. None of this makes me special, but it shows that I was raised in a very good family and that I have values to pass on. After 20 years I have gone back to school and I am earning my degree in Criminal Justice. Winning something would just make my day! Thank you for this opportunity!

It seems so strange to be asked to "toot your own horn" by someone...LOL.

I guess I'm special because I enjoy sharing what I have and what I have learned with others.

Thanks for the opportunity to win one of the great prizes!

Hard to say stuff about myself...LOL! I am special beacause I alwaqys try to help others.
