I watch Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition with my kids sometimes.  It’s such a great show, which helps families that have suffered a tragedy or hard times by building them a new house.  The new home always perfectly meets their needs, whether it be handicapped access for someone wheelchair bound, a second kitchen for a home catering business, or a special home filtration system for a child with autoimmune problems.  At the end of the show, ABC presents the family with special mementos like framed photos or shadowboxes, a book written especially for a specific child, or even a scrapbook.  I’ve always wondered:  Where do those scrapbooks come from?  Who makes them?  Do they happen to have scrapbookers on the crew, or do they hire someone?  Well, I found this blog and it answered my questions because…the Scrappy Sisters got to create a scrapbook (and some other things) for Extreme Home Makeover!  There are two blog entries and both have slide shows; you can check them out HERE and HERE.  The slide shows are wonderful because they show so many pictures of the entire journey (Sorry, I had to turn off the music that played – a beautiful song called Soldier’s Heart but it’s sung by R. Kelly and he’s a – well, I won’t say the exact term – but “not nice to kids”…or a little “too nice”, if you know what I mean!  Okay, editorial comments over…). The journaling on the first entry is nice and long, telling all the details of how it happened. Fun reading! Please check out this amazing story and great accomplishment by some of our own, the Scrappy Sisters!
