✂️📸 A wonderful day of creativity at Good Shepherd Home!
On Saturday, we welcomed a talented group of scrapbookers for our annual Scrapper’s Crop, where creativity and community came together for a special purpose. Throughout the day, participants worked on beautiful scrapbook layouts capturing memories from our residents’ activities and outings over the past year.
These pages will become part of our Good Shepherd Home scrapbook, helping preserve the moments, friendships, and experiences that make life here so special.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their creativity, and helped document these memories. We are also grateful to Norma Robbins for organizing the event and to all who helped make the day such a success!
