Scraps of Our Life: I Love New Product!!!

Living With Multiple Sclerosis

Three years ago, my 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Contessa first showed symptoms at age three and doctors told us that maybe someday she would be diagnosed with MS. MS is a disease that effects the central nervous system. For some reason her body is attacking the mylien sheath that protects the nerve. When the nerve is damaged it cause problems such as vision problems, short term memory loss, and coordination. There are two types of MS, Contessa is diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. This means she will go periods of feeling and looking well. Factors such as heat and stress will cause a relapse. Currently there is no cure for MS. We are using a daily injection called Copaxone that is to slow the progression of MS. Please take a few minutes to view the following clip to see how people with MS are often preceived as looking so good that they could not have a dibilitating disease. The Show Must Go On

Who doesn't love new scrapbooking goodies? I sure do! Well I have started to dig into my new stash of supplies from my recent trip to the Scrapbook Studio in Pooler.
This colorful stripes is from Basic Grey's Marrakech line.

I am so loving this new line from Bo Bunny! Mango Luau. I am glad we live by the beach. I will definitely be taking many trips and photo ops so I can use it up!

This last layout features pattern paper from Pink Paislee's Fetching line. When I pulled out the archery pictures I did not think I would find anything decent to use, but I am glad the way this layout turned out.
