Lyme Disease Awareness -- and a FREE kit

There are 100 documented strains of Lyme disease in the U.S., but the tests used for diagnosis are only based on one. With the Western blot being based only on one strain of the disease, significant numbers of people infected will go undiagnosed, making it much more difficult to cure.

Irwin Vanderhoof*, PhD, Professor at the New York University Stern School of Business estimates that Lyme Disease costs society about $1 billion per year. This includes unnecessary or inappropriate medical care, lost productivity, legal fees, and other direct/indirect expenses. However, the human toll can be high. Patients can have ongoing problems resulting in emotional distress, permanent physical damage, and significant disruption of life (e.g. job loss, divorce, loss of friends or family).

For more detailed information, please read the source at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease

Here are a couple of truly adorable layouts my CT Manager, iwannalife2, created with the mini kit shown above:

I tried to hit different seasons and themes for papers and items....including summer, grass and water-water related, indoors with hardwood floors, winter with ice and a general one for anytime of the year. I hope you enjoy using this kit and it gives you many wonderful pages for your memory book! Contents: 36 Background papers, 66 embellishments including

Word art, Frames, Prize ribbons/frames/journaling (take your pick how you want to use them), Charms, Journaling pads, Buttons, Ribbons, straight and curled, Activity figures and 4 Quick pages that include 2- 12x12 QP and 2- 8x11 QP.

Puppy Love Letters by Paris Designs

This is about that first crush, the puppy love. I tried to make it romantic, soft, make you think of love and romance while still including the element of Puppy and allowing it to be used for other types of subjects as well. I can remember setting and drawing hearts, writing "his" name, dreaming off into space and dreaming of children, rings of diamonds, silver, gold and being totally consumed with that first love. I would pick daisies and pull off the petals, saying that old rhyme, he loves me, he loves me not...and if it did not turn out the way I wanted I would take another. I hope this brings back memories for you as well. Enjoy!! All items were made on a 300 dpi, 12 x 12 inch scale. PNG's allow for enlarging, shrinking and manipulating. This kit includes: 30 backgrounds, 88 elements, including but not limited to frames, flowers, ribbons, tags, clips and more. 2--12x12 QP's, 2--8 1/2x11 QP's. Special thank you's included in Credits and description page within the kit. As with all of our kits, they are free to use personal and scrap-4-hire use. Please credit us if using!! Thank you!

As always, wishing you a delightfully scrap-happy day!

My thoughts for today...

I've received 4 notices so far this month of other shops that are closing their doors. Not very encouraging at all. But I'm a 'believer' and I can't give up just yet. The economy will eventually turn around. In the meantime, it is imperative that we get folks to realize that even "this is a time" that should be scrapped to the fullest. Hopefully, it will let our future generations have a look at the truth of the past and appreciate it or at least learn from it.

Wishing you a very happy scrapping session!
