Guest Designer for October 2009 - Contest

This coming month, we’ll be paying a special tribute to our Military, the Fallen Heroes of War, and to the Men and Women who not only lost their lives during the 9-11 attacks, but to the men and women who came to their aid, and helped during that horrible, horrible time. We want them to know that they are truly hereos in our books, and that we will never, ever forget them. And most importantly, to the men and women who continue to serve our country. They deserve our thanks and support for thier ongoing efforts and sacrifices that they make to ensure our freedom.

Most of us know someone who is either currently serving or who has served in the military, so let's use our love of scrapbooking and our goal of perserving history and honor the lives of those who we hold dear.
