This is a great reminder of the quality of creative memories products and the need for community.
This is a beautiful story from CM Advisor Leslie Theys in North Carolina. I wholeheartedly agree with her about how very powerful the friendships we make through scrapbooking and Creative Memories can be!

"It is the sisterhood of Creative Memories that continues to bring us together to share and delight in helping others with their memories. This community of sisters comes through when celebrating great times but also in times of distress and sadness. I need to shout out my entire team of CM Advisors as they have come to the need of one of my customers, someone they do not even know. On February 9th, this family lost their entire home and all contents to a fire!! Well most of the contents, my friend/customer's husband got her out of the house, the dogs, and then went back and retrieved as many albums as he could safely, and threw them to the safety of the snow. Some could safe we train our children and significant others well. My friend states, that the albums were not the first thing on her mind, but she is so thankful that they were on her husband's. As they pick up the pieces of their life, she says that the albums are their 'happy place' as they cherish life itself and these being the only physical things they own.
My team has provided almost every CM Product in our current line so she can have a fresh start and continue to enjoy time with friends and doing what she enjoys at our annual Spring Camp. She has no idea that this is coming, but I know she will be so emotional to own something of her own and that is something fun to do!!
That's what makes CM different in the work force, the hobby force and in fellowship. It is about the relationships and gracious love for others, even those we don't know.
On a product note, She texted me last night an wanted me to share that as they were digging out the ash and rubble, they came upon the PowerSort box filled with photos (that smell of smoke). Ecstatic that they survived and now she has something to work on. She wanted [Creative Memories Home Office] to know that she is so grateful for outstanding products.
I am thankful for a group of women that Shine generosity, love and faithfulness."
