Hi to all you talented people, Wow, what lovely work...

[CocoAngel]

Hi My name is Coco and I am very new to Scrapbooking. But I can
safely say that I am in LOVE, with this process. I have started 5
Scrapbooks for my 5 Foster Angels. I am going to put a few
pages in by Christmas and then continue to add. My daughter
Britt is having a great time with Scrapbooking too, you can say
that we are hooked on Scrapbooking. I have been looking at all
the work you all do and I am amazed at the talent here, wow,
beautiful work everyone of you. Hope to meet everyone and
learn from your experience. Angel hugs, Coco

Welcome, Coco--you will find this forum layed back and very very helpful. Feel free to join in the challenges they have here--it is a great way to learn and use your scrapbooking skills. Glad that you and your daughter have joined. I am curious as to what are foster angels--just the name sounds very beautiful.

Hi Dillie: Thanks for writing to me. I have 5 Foster kids, Britt, Vern & John are brother, Nicky and Daniel. I call them my Foster Angels because they
are children that have suffered terrible abuse, and they are Angels to me;
eventhough, they make me want to pull my hairs out, hahahaha.
Angel hugs, Coco

Bless you for taking the Angels into your life--you truly are special. Welcome again to the forum and look forward to seeing your layouts.

Hey Coco, welcome... as Dillie well said, the people are here are GREAT, I m not all that new to scrapbooking but started a couple of months ago here...and I'm amazed and have received priceless help, plus freebies all around

I almost went into fostering myself, I have one daughter (she is very mine, this one LOL) and when she was 10 (now almost 14) we came across a family of latin kids who had just gone into the system, victims of terrible abuse....
we did not qualify as we dpon't have extra bedrooms, the system here (the UK) wont allow kids (even if siblings) in the same room, or in the same room with your own kids...funny thing is, they ended up all split up and in the hands of people who were fostering because of the money...
sad really, but that's society these days unfortunately, we get the good, the bad and the ugly...

I have a huge respect for foster parents, great work you are doing
Look forward to seeing what you come up with

Do not hesitate to ask if you need anything, we are here to help

[CocoAngel]

Boohoo for that system... Here in the USA you need to have adequate space,
but as long as girls bunk with girls and boys bunk with boys that is all you.
I once had 4 boys in one room, I had two sets of bunk beds and the space in
between the beds was adequate. It is a shame am sure that they pass you up. Ultimately is the children that loose out... Well you tried, maybe in the future you can try again...

Thanks for welcoming me and for saying that you will help when the need arises. Angel hugs, Coco
