I have met with Simple Scrapbooks Magazine a few times and had the opportunity at those meetings to chat a bit with the ultra-cute and fabulously nice Rachel Gainer. Last Friday, as I scrapped, I heard her voice on the television and when I looked up, there she was on the local news. Her house, which I believe was only built last year, was flooded to within 1 foot of the ceilings of her basement. And there was Rachel talking about how blessed her family had been.

Her little family has had to replace the water heater, the furnace, and the windows. In the coming months they will need to replace other items that they lost, as well as the landscaping in their backyard.

I have set up a Paypal account for them if anyone wants to donate to help them with these costs. I know how good I feel when I give to others and how much I want to teach my children that it is better to give than to receive. If you can donate any money, please send it through Paypal to floodedwithlove@yahoo.com I am going to make the first doantion right now.

And because Tinkering Ink loves Rachel so much, we will be giving away ful sets of our Westminster line to 10 individuals who make a donations in the month of August (you must donate at least $10 to be eligible for these prize packs).

If you read this please pass it on to your friends and family who may also want to help. Let's flood Rachel's family with love and support!
