1st RAC Challenge

on
I will be giving away 5 "Clean Out the Scrap Studio RAC" every Friday of February. I will try and always include one new Fiskars item and I have some new Queen and Co. felt hearts to go in each one. So here is the picture of the first goodie pile.

The Fiskar item will be a surprise each week. I will also be adding a little to the stack as I clean up a little more. Many of the items are new in the package, but some have been used thus the reason it is a "Clean Out the Scrap Studio" RAC.

I'm sorry I can not ship off the Continental USA. If you know someone here in the states that can mail it to you I will be glad to ship it to them and you work it through with them. I wish I could afford to ship everywhere.

One thing I always try to do on Debby's Dare is to leave with a "Gratitude List." Sometimes when the day is off focus, iffy, or just plain bad, I reflect on the positive and good things in my life. In order to participate in the first round RAC, that ends February 1 at midnight, comment here and list 5 things you are thankful or grateful for in your life.

Gratitude List:

1. My mom

2. My camera

3. Fiskateers

4. My Morning Thread on Two Peas

5. God's unrelenting presence in my life.

PS: This was the easy one to get everyone started. Next time it's going to be a project!

    Hi Deborah! I recently joined this site and was reading through all the threads and thought I might try this out....I just started scrapbooking thanks to my future sister-in-law....
    It is hard to narrow this down to 5 but the ones on the top are...

    1. My Grandmother/Great Grandmother..without them I would not be who I am today.
    2. My children..I almost lost my oldest son and I have two wonderful sons...They keep me young
    3. The love of my life and his family...I could not ask for anyone better! I Love You Ronnie!
    4. Nonie of getting me involved in scrapbooking
    5. The chance to reconnect with my mom and learn about my roots on her side after 33 years. Thanks Rene for holding to Grandma's wish in Finding Kris and I. She is smiling from Heavan.

    Have a wonderful day!!!!

    I am so very very grateful for:

    1. My children - they are a great source of my inspiration and are a fountain of smiles for me!

    2. MY BF -- yes that can mean boyfriend or best friend...he is both -- we began as best friends and it blossomed to so much more -- I have never been so comfortable with someone and he amazes me with his support. He is my biggest fan and never ceases to show me that!

    3. My family -- They have been so very good for me - always - but as the past few years have been so hard on me, they have been so helpful!

    4. My artful expression -- Whether it be singing on stage in front of a huge crowd or creating a scrapbook page with just my cat with me...there is something about letting a bit of the true me come out!

    5. My divorce...sounds very very odd, I know, but let me explain...this sad event showed me that life is too short to take anything for granted and not to live life to its fullest!

    3. My cat -- she provides me sanity and unconditional love on the days when I need them the most

    4. The internet -- it allows for communication with my husband while he's away to sea working, to family and friends near and far, and it allows me somewhere else to find ideas/share in my crafts

    5. The roof over my head and the food on my shelves -- self-explanatory. :)
