SCORE!!!! A Story of GIVING!!!!


I have a SCORE PAL!!!!! Not just any SCORE PAL, though. I have one that was given to me out of kindness and generosity. Yes, given to me as in a GIFT!!!! I cannot believe it!!!! I am so amazed at such generosity that I do not know what to say or do. I have been chit chatting with Stacy(Twinshappy) about all her beautiful card sets in the SCS gallery and her blog. On many of her cards she does score line detailing. Our discussion pretty much centered around using our fiskars and a stylus to do the score lines. Stacy is way more adventurous with this than I am. I kept mentioning how I would love to have a score pal, but if I would use it enough to compensate for its cost.

Anyway, out of the blue last week, I get this email from Deborah Anton(BeadnStampn) that she heard from Stacy that I wanted a Score Pal. It just so happened that she had won some blog candy that included a SCORE PAL. (Note to self: I really need to blog hop and get in on all this amazing blog candy out there). Deborahs says that she already has a score pal so would I like that one since her other one should be arriving soon. Of course, I ask how much and she says NOTHING!!!!! She just wanted to PAY IT FORWARD.....and do something nice for someone!!!! Now, I know about the Pay it Forward as I have done this myself, but never anything quite this huge. So, my SCORE PAL came yesterday afternoon. I am utterly amazed at the generosity and kindness of just GIVING!!!! I wanted to share a picture of my SCORE PAL and the wonderful card that Deborah included.

Thank you so much Deborah and Stacy for thinking of me. Blessings to both of you!!!! I did not make a card today as I wanted it to be just about the Deborah's generosity and the Score Pal. However, I probably will have a card tomorrow showcasing something scored!!!! This thing is amazing as I have been playing with it. Thanks for stopping by!!!!!

  9. I will look forward to seeing cards you make using the Scor Pal. I often wondered why people, like me, should get a chance at winning blog candy when we have the pleasure of seeing all the beautiful cards for inspiration without doing any work. Enjoy your new toy.
