Mosiac brought clients today to work on a project. Two new ones that had never been here before. While some of them don’t really talk to me, I love to get them to communicate in their own way! The smiles are priceless!! I love having them visit the Nook & work on projects, whether it’s a greeting card or a sign for their room, the smiles are endless!! If you have donated things to the Nook for them to use, THANK YOU!!! We do use the things you give me. Today we covered cardboard with paper, punched a hole in it to put ribbon through it so they can hang them up. They put their name on it & decorated them with stickers. Their names were done with sticker too. They LOVE stickers!!! Thank you for helping me do projects with them!!! I love their visits!!! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!!

When you get to see a special girl & she leaves a message on your chalkboard!! Then her sweet momma comes to pick her up & her little brother adds some writing & pictures, he did have to erase some of hers but he sure was careful doing so!! Then he drew pictures of himself & showed us that those were his muscles!! I just love seeing the kids!!! And a bonus, I got to see their Nana & had a nice visit with their sweet momma!! It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!! ❤️

Hey Colchester folks, did anyone get a package delivered to them that had some 7 piece precision layering alignment guides in case? It says it was delivered August 31 to front door/porch. It did not arrive at the Scrapbook Nook where it was supposed to. It came from over seas, Been waiting a month on them to arrive. Had no idea it was coming from Spain when I ordered them!! Sure would appreciate it if they were delivered by your front door/porch. I have sent a message to the company, hoping they can be more specific about the delivery. If you happened to get my package, please let me know!! I certainly would appreciate it!!
