Did you know that Miss America is the largest provider of scholarship assistance to young women in the world? Last year alone the Miss America Organization provided over $45 million in cash and scholarships. This not only touches the lives of the girls you see on TV, but over 12,000 young women who have competed at the local and state levels as well.
I mentioned earlier in the year that I was starting a Non-Profit organization, I am happy to say that my daughter and I have applied for and have been granted the privlage to start the Miss Akron Canton Scholarship Program. This will be a local program to the Miss Ohio Program.
One of the main reasons I have decided to become involved with this program is that the young women who compete are very involved in community service. These girls are dedicated to helping all sorts of causes, whether it be Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis or Habitat for Humanity - they are out in their communities raising awareness and working along side others to make a difference.
Not only did she win scholarship dollars, she also gained much confidence in herself and fantastic interview skills. She was one of 40 students selected for the physical therapy program out of thousands who applied, we both think that this is due to the interview skills she developed while she was competing in the Miss Ohio Program.
In the mean time I am routing for Miss Ohio, Mackenzie Bart tomorrow night during the Miss America Pageant. She is a very special young lady whom I have had the pleasure of getting to know.

I also knew I had some little bales of hay somewhere in my stash of fall stuff, and while I was looking for that I came across a bundle of wheat that worked out great for my centerpiece.

Welcome
Hi, I am Ann, a self proclaimed dish hoarder. I have a penchant for anything plaid, polka dot, or paisley. I love mixing patterns and colors. This has evolved into paper projects as well. I created this page as a way to share my inspiration and ideas with others! I find myself starting a new chapter in life at 65!! I am so grateful to the support of my children and my friends who have been by my side. I look forward to many more years of creative endeavors and hope to share more with you in the future! Thanks for stopping by :)
