hope48 Hope48 specializes in unique greeting cards, paper goods and gifts. I LOVE doing crafts and I use them as my stress reliever. The Marty Lyons Foundation, Inc.

In 2012 I opened up hope48 and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. This year brought a ton of joy and a ton of sadness to my life and those things together = stress! .......a sure reason for me to get crafting! :)

***How My Shop Got It's Name***
When I was three years old I was diagnosed with Wilm’s Tumor, a childhood cancer, and Hope is what pulled us through. In January of 2012, my dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a type of blood cancer. It has been a very hard year but our family believes that with Hope we will pull through, as we always have. My dad means the world to me, so I took the word Hope and paired it with 48, which is his birth year and flipped around, 84, is mine. We have a special bond that we will always share and I'm so happy that I came up with this name for my shop.

****SHOP FOR A CAUSE****
As of 2013, 48 cents of every purchase from hope48 will be donated to The Marty Lyons Foundation, Inc. is a non profit corporation that grants a wish to children ages three to seventeen with a terminal or life threatening illness. I was once a recipient of the Marty Lyons Foundation when I was just four years old. In 1988, Marty Lyons himself came into my hospital room while I was undergoing cancer treatment and asked me what my wish was. I told him that I wanted to go to Disney World. Next thing I know, he was sending a limo to pick up me, my sister and my parents to take us to the airport for an all expense paid trip to Disney World. It was a magical time in my life and made me forget for a short time that I was battling cancer. I only wish the same for every other child out there who has gone through or is going through the same battle.

2013 - The Marty Lyons Foundation: $102.24
2014 - The Marty Lyons Foundation: $86.88

Tissue paper ornaments are a fun and easy project to do with the kiddos. Spread glue on the paper plate (using school glue or mod podge) and place tissue paper circles on top. Simple as that!

This year I decided to go CAN-FREE for Thanksgiving. It was so much easier than I thought, doesn't take much time, tastes amazing and it's cheaper too! Last night I made sweetened condensed milk, condensed cream of mushroom soup & cream of chicken soup. I doubled the soup recipes so I now have 8 more bags of cream of mushroom/chicken soup in my freezer for another time. You should give it a try, you won't be sorry! Here are the recipes I used:
