I think I did it?

2008-03-18T14:03:00.002-04:00

Well I finally got on my puter and 'attempted' to sign into this blog thing. I'm not a computer person but I did what it said to do (I think!) Don't know if I missed anything or not but if I did I'm sure someone would let me know.
It said that there were 3 postings and I thought that I clicked on to view them but I got this screen. That is the only reason that I am typing this. I'll got try to find the postings again.... wish me luck!

who are we? We are the Scrapbook Dream Makers. A group of women, ladies, girls, who share in the passion of scrapbooking & crafting. Some are more passionate than others but nonetheless we are fabulous.!

The Scrapbook Dream Makers recently connected with a local hospice organization to create wonderful chart a life poster (aka, scrapbook) for patients with dementia and end of life illnesses.

We will create a priceless keepsake for the patient, familes, and caregivers to enjoy, reminse, and rejoyce the wonderful and fulfilling life each patient endured.

This is the first project for the Scrapbook Dream Makers but will not be the last....

Check back early and often.

Peace,
