NOW LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO A TRUE INSPIRING GIVEAWAY
In this giveaway you don't actually get a prize but you get to GIVEAWAY some of your stash to an amazing cause

I recently stumbled upon an amazing blog (thanks for my good friend Helen). Diana, who lives in Jamaica started an outreach Scrapbooking program to help young girls express themselves through scrapbooking.

Who knew that SCRAPBOOKING can really MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

READ WHAT DIANA HAS TO SAYHi, I'm Diana, formerly a "lonely scrapbooker" from Jamaica, but now I'm "scrapbooking from the heart"--following my passion and spreading the scrapbooking love here in Jamaica.   One of the ways I feed my passion and spread the love is through "outreach scrapbooking" where I scrapbook with tween and teen girls who are living in girls' homes. They are in state custody and have been removed from their homes for their safety because they have been abused or have suffered some type of trauma.

  I go with a couple of other scrapbookers, take photos of the girls, print them on the spot and we do scrapbook pages with positive messages. I take all the tools and supplies. All of the supplies are my own that I am no longer using, or are donated by other scrapbookers.  I am now collecting any and all supplies and tools that anyone is willing to mail to me in Jamaica. If you mark the package "used craft supplies" I shouldn't get charged any customs duty.

 I have quite a bit of paper, and 12x12 paper is expensive and heavy to mail, so if you have alphabets (half-used packs are fine), and embellishments of all sorts (out of fashion, partially used packs), you can stick them in a regular large letter sized envelope, and I will use them with the girls. Any and everything will be greatly appreciated and used up with lots of love. 

 I blogged about my outreach scrapbooking recently here and also answered some of Helen's own questions about it here. The first post also has links to the origins of this whole project. I also post links about outreach scrapbooking and scrapbooking in general on my facebook page. 

Please email me at artemis.jamaica@gmail.com if you would like to send me stuff so I can send you my mailing address and also if you have any more questions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I encourage you to gather up some leftover embellishments and send them in a small packet to Jamaica. I ended up collecting 4 Packets and will send them on Monday

I hope this post was not too long and it enlightened you to Give from the Heart 

Have a fantastic day!!
