Bonus challenge - winner to get new MS collab kit!
 

Hi MouseScrappers!

In honor of the new release coming this week, we are having a special bonus challenge. (Thanks, KayR for the idea!)

Rules

- Theme: Because this kit will benefit an organization that helps others in need, I want that to be the focus. Your layout should show or describe how a person(s) has done something helpful/nice/unselfish for others.

- Does NOT have to be Disney related! Ideas: Volunteering in the community or at church, little ones helping out around the house, etc

- Upload your layout to the Misc Challenges Gallery

- Post a linked image here in this thread

- Deadline: 11:59pm Pacific Thursday, 9/15

- One winner will be selected from the entries to win the new, jam-packed kit. I will announce the winner early Friday morning 9/16

I'm seeing if I can round up a PP for everyone else... stay tuned

Here is a sneak peek of the kit

Teacher

My husband goes above and beyond as a high school mathematics teacher. He volunteers his time to tutor students every single day at lunch and after school - his students or any other student needing help. He attends as many student events as humanly possible to show his support and school spirit. Bill has marched in graduation every year of his employment (although not required to) which is 31 years. Our son is autistic and pictured with Bill on my layout. We both worked hard to get him through high school but it was his dad that did most of the tutoring. Our son graduated with a 3.8 GPA in 2006. Bill has always had a soft spot in his heart for special needs students and is so patient working with them till they have the concepts. He did his student teaching at a school for the deal and coached a deaf basketball team.

Every teacher should have the work ethic and the true love of his job that this man does! He is a tribute to his profession.

You should all be very proud of your family and friends.... I am really enjoying reading your stories!

Beautiful pages and such wonderful stories.

I love them all

Gorgeous pages and great stories!

Here is mine....My Mother In Law of all people is a hero in my life. She is the most unselfish, caring person. She is willing to drop everything to help anyone. I never have to ask her to help she is always doing laundry, cooking, cleaning and playing with my kids even when she is AT MY HOUSE! She spent 2 weeks with us when my son was born helping out...she wasn't the one sitting and holding the baby....she was cooking and cleaning and playing with my older child. She is an amazing lady...how many people can say that about an In Law?
