I go to Scrapbook conventions whenever there is one in driving distance, and a few years ago I started loving KNC Essentials/Kraft n Creativity because they carried Doodlebug and Prima. I spent so much in that booth! Anyway, year after year I looked forward to seeing them at Expo. Well at the last Expo I got really talking to Eva Peralta, the owner. She is Hispanic originally from Mexico but now lives in California. She carries a lot of Asuka and other cool papers, but she also designed her own line based on her childhood. I was very excited about it. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Anyway, Eva reached out to me online. She knows I have 2 little granddaughters. She sent me, out of the kindness of her heart, 2 gorgeous fancy princess dresses, one Elsa and one Snow White. These are not Halloween costume like, these are full on fancy dresses with layers upon layers of satin and lace. She just sent them out of the kindness of her heart because she said she owned at one time a formal wear shop. In this world of scrapbooking there are all kind of people just a microcosm of the larger world. And there are truly kind people who give wanting nothing in return. But I want to at least point my fellow scrapbookers in the direction of kraftncreativity.com. Here's my granddaughter 'modelling' her Snow White dress in what she calls her Snow White pose!

What is the line she created based off her childhood in Mexico Thank you for asking! On her web site she has some papers called KnC Essentials. Those papers she created. For example one of the winter papers, a village with little children playing in the snow. She said she grew up in an impoverished village and they did not have snow, but the village and the children playing inspired the papers because the snow makes everything look pretty, like through the eyes of a child who doesn't know they are poor. I believe there are 3 or 4 collections, all inspired by her childhood. If you have any trouble finding them I will send a link.

Thank you for the heartwarming story myboysnme. It was so sweet of Ms. Peralta to think of you and show such kindness. I have bookmarked her site so I can go back to look it over when I have more time. This is what the world should be like.
