LOVE IS FOR GIVING
I have been beside myself waiting to show you this gorgeous Clothesline album by Julie Johnson from Paisleys and Polka Dots Scrapbook Kit Club. www.paisleysandpolkadots.com
I met Julie at CHA and she told me about her kits. I instantly loved Julie and knew she would put together something really special. However, I had no idea that it would have this level of detail and design. Julie might just have a few more of these kits left ...so please let me know: 1. Do you agree...Love is for giving? 2. Who would you share this album with? 3.What would you like that person to know? I'll send these comments onto Julie and have her pick THREE of you to win a kit.
This last image is a double layout that Julie shared. Nothing could be sweeter....
Please be sure to check out Julie's website.
I can't wait to see what you all have to say about this!

Love is definitely free to give and sooo worth it!
I think that I would share this album with my friends because they make me laugh on a daily basis and I think that is so important.You have to live for the moment and enjoy each and every day you get.
This is a beautiful album and I would be so honored to be able to win this.

Oh my goodness, that album is gorgeous!!! To tell you the truth I would want to keep it for myself but I think that my Mom would really like it. I would put some old pictures of us together in it and give it to her for Mothers Day. I would just love for my mom to know how much she is loved and appreciated. What a wonderful giveaway!!
Happy NSD to everyone!
xoxo, Christine

I totally agree that l♥ve is for giving. Love is unconditional and is given freely. Without love, there is no passion.
I would share this album with my family. I would plan the photos accordingly to milestones of my children...very special milestones. My biggest fear is to not have enough time to do all the things I want to do...meaning to teach my children the "ropes" of Life. Life is one grand mountain! So much to teach them and they have so much to learn.
I would like these "little people" to know how much I cherish them, how much I treasure them and how I love them unconditionally, with every fiber of my being!
Thank you for the chance to win such a pretty pretty kit. I adore it.

beautiful album and line - i'm putting this at the top of my must have list

Indeed Love is for giving away.
I would use this for my mother in law, whom I love very much. If I could have chosen a mother growing up, I would have chosen her. Her unconditional love blows me away, something not recieved from my mother as a child. I've learned a lot from my MIL. I've already told her these things before-I'd just say it again in something this beautiful.

Love is for giving, and receiving. I would make this album as a tribute to my mother who passed away almost a year ago. I would share it with everyone who knew her and would cherish it. I miss her dearly.

Love is for giving and sharring!!!!
This book idea would be great to give to Grandparents, either mine or my kids'. My husband is in the Air Force, so we are constantly moving and not always near family. I try to keep my grandparents updated as to what is going on in our lives, but as they get older I know it gets harder for them to remember. This little book would be something they could hold and look at over and over (and I am sure show it off!).
This book would be a great reminder to my Grammy and Big Papa of the grandkids and the love we have for them!
I think Grandparents days is coming up next month....

Love is for giving! If you can give love, you can't love.
I would share this album with my Mom. When my Dad passed away last year, we put together a really quick photo collage. She doesn't have the strength to put it away anywhere, so she has these huge boards in her living room. I would love to give her a little place to put all her special pictures of my Dad so she can sit back and enjoy them, take them with her to share with her family and friends.
I would like her to know that he will never be forgotten and that he will always have a special place in our hearts. I know she would bring this album to all the family gatherings so we all feel he is right there with us.
Thanks for a great opportunity to share your project. It really is special!

1. Love is certainly for giving.
2. I would make this album for my 12-yr-old niece.
3. I want her to know how beautiful she is... that it cannot be taken away from her because it's not on the surface; her talent is astounding; her personality is magnetic; and I am here for her no matter how far away I live.
I just love that girl.

WOW gorgeous. I would have to agree 110%. Since I just won some fab goodies please don't include me but I would def share an album like this with my best friends....the sentiments remind of the girls in my life that make the world go 'round for me
Posted by: ellen s | Monday, April 26, 2010 at 07:23 PM
Absolutely, LOVE is for giving! What else would you do with it, if not give it away? If I had the chance to own such a beautiful album I would give it to my MOM. I would fill it with pictures of my sons, sisters, and myself with her. I would like her to know how much we LOVE her and how much we THANK HER everything she does for us. Sometimes its soo easy to take some things for granted. This little album would be a small token of our appreciation!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Yes I agree Love is for giving. I would share this album with my mom. I would want her to see how much we love her and how blessed we are to still have her as part of our life. She is now enjoying her great-grandchildren and made the comment to my daughter that her and her baby coming to visit is better than someone giving her a million dollars. I want her to know we feel the same about her.
Posted by: conniemelancon | Monday, April 26, 2010 at 08:46 AM
1. Yes, love is definitely for giving!
2. I would share this album with my older sister, Debbie!
3. I would tell her how much I love her as well as thank her for all the advice and support she has given me over all these years! She was always there when I needed her and I would like her to know that I am there for her, too! She is the BEST sister in the WORLD!
Thanks so much for doing this give a way! These kits are gorgeous!!!

Yup. Love isn't love til you give it away!
I would share it with my young friend, Taylor. She is a beautiful young lady - inside and out. I would want her to know how very much she has meant to me and my husband since our son (and only child)'s death five years ago. Mark was her friend and she has truly allowed God to speak through her in some really tough times. She has stuck with us and loved us. I am so grateful for her. Thank you.

I agree that love is for giving - for giving of yourself whole heartedly, to share with my granddaughter, to let her know all the reasons that I love her, today, tomorrow and always. I would love to have one of these kits to share with her.
Posted by: cindy kolesar | Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 08:22 PM
Love this line! I used to write lists, "I love it when..." then list all the things I loved about my husband before we got married. Sent it to him in a card and would love to incorporate that into this kit!
Posted by: sandra m. | Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 08:06 PM
This album is sooo pretty. Yes, I absolutely agree that love is for giving. I would give this album to my sister. She is 29 and was born with down sydrome. She gives so much love and she gives it unconditionally. She has added so much to our lives. I started paper crafting because it was something we could do together. We have great fun scrapbooking and making cards. This album would be a great gift for her to show her how much she means to me. Thank you for a chance to win this beautiful little album.
Posted by: Jessica | Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 03:06 PM
Those are absolutely beautiful projects! I would share this album with my niece. She is turning 14 and we have been a big part of each others life since the day she was born. I was right there in the delivery room. She has grown into a beautiful young girl.
Posted by: Janet | Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 12:57 PM
I agreed that Love is for giving. I would share this album with my daughter and let her know that my love for her is unconditional.
Posted by: Lynette C | Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 01:49 AM
I love this album...it is absolutely beautiful!!!
1. Do you agree...Love is for giving? Absolutely!!
2. Who would you share this album with? I would love to give this album to my cousin
3.What would you like that person to know? She was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago. She has gone thru a lot over the past year is now cancer free. She is one of the most caring, wonderful, strong, loving person. And I would like to remind her how much of an strong, inspirational women she is and how much she is loved!!

oh yes! Love is for giving.It is wHAt life is all about. i would share this album with my Grandma. MY Grandpa, THE love of her life just passed away a month ago. They had been married for 65 years. They are such wonderful examples of pure love. I want my Grandma to know what an impact they have made on my own marriage. I strive every day to show my family the kind of love they have shared with us over the years!
p.s. the book is wonderful!
Posted by: Raimi | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 05:34 PM
Yes, love is for giving--I would share this with my son--Even thought I tell him everyday that I Love him--I would like to make something for him that "puts it into words"
Posted by: {vicki} | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 03:02 PM
This album is sooo cute. I love the sweet patterns and fresh colors in this line!
Yes, love is for sharing! I would gather photos iof my children and compile a wonderful keepsake for my mom. My kids are the only grandchildren in the family and I know how much my mom misses them and wishes she could see them more often. We live far from each other but having this beautiful mini close at hand would definitely ease the pain of separation.
Thank you so much for the chance to win, I love LYb! Can't wait!!!

I do agree that love is for sharing. I would share this album with my aunt. She took the place of my parents when they were gone, letting me have a connection to my past. I would like for her to know what an important role she had in my life (and the lives of my siblings) then and continues to now. She is the one who took the pictures of me when I was a baby and through my life. I would love to put the photos she took into this album for her. I don't think I could get it done by Mother's Day, but I could sure try.
Posted by: Marcia Scantlin | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 11:00 AM
I love this album! I would make it into a multi-generational collection featuring my daughter, my granddaughter and I, so they'll always remember the fun times we've had and how much I loved them both!
Posted by: SusieQ | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 09:56 AM
This is definitely an album made with love. I would gather pictures of my girls from days gone by and as I am creating the album I can feel my tears of sweet memories running down my face. One of the things that gives me the most pleasure is reminiscing as I scrap. On each page I would write a message about the picture...Thank you ... Annie Lou
Posted by: Annie Lou Ricci | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 09:38 AM
1. Absolutely--the funny thing is, the more you give, the more you feel blessed and rewarded. 2. I would share it with my niece. She is in high school and has lupus (like me). No young person should have to face something like this. I think it would brighten her life! Thanks for a chance to win it for her!!!! 3. I would like her to know that even though she has trials, she can still dream big and be a blessing to others! Thanks so much!

I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WHO IS DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED WHO I HAVE POURED MY LIFE AND LOVE INTO.

Wow! this is amazing. My sister works for the corporate office of Make-a-wish with major gift campaigns. I don't get to see her nearly enough (she lives in AZ, and I in IA). She loves MAW so much that she even spends her free time volunteering for the local MAW chapter as a wish granter. I'd love to make an album like this with photos of her with kids whose wishes she helped to grant. Truly a beautiful album!
Posted by: Samantha T. | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 07:44 AM
Yes!! Love IS for giving!
I am not sure who I would give it to. Maybe my mother-in-law, or maybe I would make it to keep here, for my family, or maybe to a close friend, for her bday coming up!
But, for whoever I made it for, I would want them to know that Love is bigger than me. It is about giving and sharing, and caring. Even when that seems tough!!

I also agree that love is for giving. I would make this album for my husbond. For after beeing together for 9 years and married for 7months. I love him now more that I ever had. I would celebrate our relationship.. He's stands beside me through sorrow and happiness and I love the fact that we have to gorgeous boys together. My husbond works 500km away from us and we only spend 14days per month together. I would make this so he could have it with him to work and look at it and know how much me and the boys miss him and love him. Thanks for an awesome chance to win a great kit! :)

I do agree that love is for giving. What good would love be if you just kept it to yourself! I would share this album with my 9 year old daughter. I would love for her to know how much I love her and want to protect her as she grows up. She has big changes coming just around the corner and I want her to know that I am her personal cheerleader always there for her!
Posted by: Jennifer Stockard | Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 01:59 AM
I do agree. Love is for giving. It's also what we live for. I'd make this album about my mom, but share it with my family.
You see, one month ago, to the day, I lost my mom. It was a shock to all of us. Three days before she died I got to hear my mom tell me over the phone that she loved me. That was the last time. I am so thankful to my sister for making me talk to her, instead of allowing me to wait another day until got to town. There are so many things I'd like to tell my mom, and share with my family about why I loved her. And still do love her. I want them to know, that even though I did my share of complaining about my mom, she was truly a great woman, with a heart of gold. Luckily the kids are old enough to know this (13 and 15 years) but I'd love for them to have something tangible to hold on to, and to see my writing declaring it.
I've learned from this hard time, not to wait another day to tell someone how you feel, or thank someone for what they have done. I didn't get that extra day, and it makes me sad how many things I would have said to her.
I had some of this paper and planned to make Mom a get well card while she was recovering, and while I was with her at the hospital. We thought she'd come home.. She really would have loved it because she was a terrific seamstress and avid quilter. I think I'll hang on to the paper and fabric embellishment to make a layout to frame.
Thanks for the awesome chance to win a great gift of love. I know whoever gets it will enjoy it.
