How can YOU make a difference?

***This post has been made STICKY and will stay at the top of my blog until the winner of the give-away is chosen on Thursday (11/8). Make sure to scroll down to see my newest posts....you don't want to miss anything! :) ***

I've had some big news brewing that I've been ITCHING to share with you all! Today is the day! It's finally here and I can FINALLY share it with you! Everything is up and running and ready to go! A while back, I shared a really funny clip on my Stampin' Mama blog that I found on YouTube that showed a hilarious peek at the die-hard world of scrapbooking. From that YouTube clip, I found out that an entire mockumentary had been made and put on DVD called, "Inside Scrapbooking" (put out by the twisted and genius minds at MockUTV). I was hooked and when I got my copy, I couldn't stop watching it and couldn't stop laughing at it!

Well......just recently, I was contacted by Russ Jones, the producer of the mockumentary. What he proposed to do amazed and shocked me and showed me, once again, that there are wonderful people out there that truly want to make a difference in this world.

Here's the clip, in case you missed it the first time.....and after you're done watching the clip, make sure to keep reading because I've got LOTS more to share.....AND give-away!

So....what did Russ propose?

He wanted to help my son, Zach, and I to make a difference in the world of autism. 

Starting NOW through January 1st, 2008, MockUTV is donating $1 from each copy of this awesome DVD sold towards a charity that is near and dear to my heart: Autism Support Daily

Did you know that one in every 150 children are diagnosed with some form of autism? That's ONE TOO MANY! And did you know that's only the number of children that are actually diagnosed? And did you know that many of these children "fall the through the cracks"? There ARE things that can be done about this and YOU can help!

And get this......you even get FREE shipping on the DVD! Talk about a win-win for everyone! This is the perfect gift for any papercrafter and scrapbooker on your Holiday wish list or even as a treat for yourself....and the best thing is, you're supporting a VERY worthwhile cause!

You can check out a bunch of great links on the MockUTV site:

• Inside Scrapbooking's home site
• Zach's Page - Zach's bio and lots of great links to sites on autism
• Purchase a DVD and help support Autism Support Daily
• Preview "Inside Scrapbooking"

Molly, the crazy and zany star of "Inside Scrapbooking," has graciously offered up a fantastic give-away in honor of the announcement of this great cause! She's giving away an awesome scrapbooking tote bag! How generous of her!
