I do it part-time as I have an autoimmune disease that affects my joints, am in school(almost have my bachelors, then onto a master's program to teach post-secondary English), and am a stay-at-home mother of two boys, ages 7 and 4. LOVE scrapping and don't ever foresee stopping!!
    Dang it! How am I to maintain this hard core exterior when you go tossing around such inspirational words like this?



    You my dear brought a tear to my good eye!
