Club Scrap Community Blogs

I was playing around with a couple of the 6x6 digi page swap pages I made today picking out some photos to slide into them and decided that the One of a Kind page needed to have 'Treat pics on it.

Lately I've found I've become even more introspective than normal with so many things to think about and try to figure out and the changing direction of my life right now.  When I chose 'Treat pics, I started thinking about exactly how that tag fit when I was including photos with multiple people in them.

We are all 'One of a Kind'  We are unique and beautiful individuals each and every one of us, with different likes, dislikes, tastes, lifestyles, ages, enviroments....everything.  Yet we can co-exist, peacefully.

Twenty years ago, I didn't know any of you.  Not even Jac though we're getting reeeaallly close.  Yet today, I feel part of my world is missing if I don't check in on my Club Scrap friends, well, family each day to see that you're all okay and crafting.

I absolutely LOVE all those things that make us each unique.  I'm fascinated by all the day to day things we share here in the Community, how our habits and schedules are different, yet the same.  How we are empathetic when needed because we identify with each others challenges and sympathetic when needed because we genuinely care about each other and when one of us hurts, others hurt too.

Twenty years ago, I didn't have 'sisters' all over the world.  Twenty years ago, I honestly didn't think about what time it was in Norway, or Japan, or The Netherlands, or Britain, or Australia or anywhere else really.  Now I have other countries times programmed into my i-Phone just because I care and am curious and there are people there that I "know"

We are all one of a kind, but we all share a common love of crafting, art and paper and all the possibilities they grant us and that makes us the same.  That gave us the jumping off place to co-existance here.  Sharing knowledge and expertise, graciously praising and celebrating successes, cheering on the challenged and crying with the injured.

We had no history when we met.  We're creating our history each and every day, growing and learning from our failures and successes.

We are all One of a kind.  We are All One...
