Those of you who follow my blog might be wondering why I'm participating in a hop with write.click.scrapbook? As it turns out, I'm thrilled to announce that I've been invited to join this team of talented ladies! Can you believe that?!?! When I saw the list of talent at write.click.scrapbook. I honestly kept thinking...why do they want me?!?! I'm very greatful for this opportunity and look forward to contributing to this amazing community!

For those of you who may not be familiar with write.click.scrapbook, it
was founded by Tina Cockburn, Marnie Flores and Elizabeth Dillow when the magazine they worked  for ceased publication. These three friends knew there was an opportunity to nurture and support the scrapbooking philosophy that had changed their lives and their storytelling—and to nurture and support the relationships that had formed among the magazine's contributors and with the magazine's readers.


Why I love write.click.scrapbook. let me cound the ways!!! I'm new to this site and team and today I've learned from each and every member along the hop what a great team I'm joining! I love the philosophy, the members, Marnie, the great topics and inspiring work! This is going to be a fantastic journey! :)

To learn more about write.click.scrapbook and what it has to offer, click here.

For my first assignment at write.click.scrapbook, I was asked to create a page inspired by one of my teammate's projects.


The above page is the one I picked by the very sweet and talented Monika Wright because of the heartfelt journaling about her son.


And here's a sneak peek at the page I created. You can see this page in its entirety along with the all the June gallery projects when you arrive at write.click.scrapbook.

So what's a birthday party without presents???



You have lots of opportunity for prizes along this hop since most of the team is giving away something on their blog and then write.click.scrapbook. will be giving away a prize too! How exciting is that?!?! The letter you need to collect from in order to be eligible for the write.click.scrapbook prize is 'C'.

My giveaway is the colorful set of Bella Blvd. accents picture above. This prize package includes a set of Ciao Chip Family Words, a roll of Pink Flowers Designer Tape, a package of Bugs Flags, the Masculine Mix from Button Market and a package of Dahlia Crochet Flowers! In order to win this prize package, all you have to do is sign up to follow my blog if you aren't already and leave me a comment telling me if you heard of write.click.scrapbook before today. That's it! Good luck! I will draw and announce a winner Monday morning.

Whew! Long and exciting post today! From here you want to hop over to Katrina Simeck's blog.

Enjoy the hop!

Kathy :)

  10. Kathy, I am already a follower of your blog and I did know about write.click.scrapbook before also. I also have a son going into middle school (but in August - we don't have year-round school here). Big hugs to you since I know that changes are challenging for all kids, but especially ones with lots of challenges built-in. I hope that things go smoothly for your family with this new transition.
    Congrats on joining w.c.s.!
