📦💜 More albums are heading out the door and on their way to bringing smiles, memories, and a little extra magic to some very special families!

At Crops of Luv, every album is packed with love, carefully prepared, and sent with the hope that treasured moments will be preserved for years to come. These boxes may look ordinary on the outside, but inside they're filled with stories, memories, and happiness waiting to be opened.

⚠️ WARNING: Opening this package may cause extreme happiness! 😊

Thank you to our amazing volunteers, supporters, and donors who make every album possible. Because of you, we're able to help families celebrate and preserve their most precious memories.

💜 Made with Luv in Arizona.
📸 Preserving memories, one album at a time.

There was a great turnout of volunteers on Saturday! I thought it was gonna be just a few of us because it was Easter weekend, but our amazing volunteers were out in force! We continue to be thankful for our amazingly creative volunteers every month. We could not do this without them. 

There were 8 books were completed. Those books are being ready to be mailed out later this week. It’s always exciting to know. Books are going in the mail to our amazing families.

We also had 100+ handmade birthday cards delivered so those are also gonna be mailed to Give Kiids The World this week plus a lot of envelopes! Some of the cards were made by a local Girl Scout troop! All of these cards will be used by the volunteers at GKTW to send birthday wishes to alumni kids.

We are not meeting at Apache Wells for both the months of May and June of this year, but will be back for the first Saturday in July.

And just a quick note to remember that in June, we have our Crops Of luv retreat in Tucson AZ Arizona. Please see the COL website for more information about the retreat. We would love to see you there!

We are truly grateful to have received this 18 pound box of awesomeness from our dedicated Florida group that meets every other month at Give Kids The World creating embellishments to send to us here in Arizona to use in the books we make for Wish kids. This is just a small sample of what was received. Thank you so very much. Give Kids The World 🎉💖📚🎁

We experienced another full house on the first Saturday in March 2026. The skilled volunteers successfully completed 10 books. We are extremely grateful to our volunteers in Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. These books are being packaged and will be mailed to the families shortly.

We will reconvene on the first Saturday in April and hope to see you there!

Please see the COL Facebook event page for the rest of the 2026 first Saturdays in Mesa so you can plan to join us!

We are feeling so incredibly grateful today.

Because of YOU, we have raised $2,690 toward our $5,000 goal! 🎉💚 And on top of that, we’ve had so many Amazon Wish List deliveries showing up at our door. Every box, every envelope, every single item means more families will feel loved and supported.

For those who may not know, Crops of Luv is run right out of our home. We pour our hearts into creating handmade scrapbooks and meaningful gifts for families walking through some of the hardest moments of their lives. We also pay expenses out of our own pockets, so every donation truly makes a difference.

We’re a little over halfway to our $5,000 goal. That means we have about $2,310 to go. If you’ve been thinking about donating, sharing our page, or grabbing something from our Amazon Wish List, now is the perfect time.

You are helping us turn pain into keepsakes. You are helping us deliver love in tangible ways.

Thank you for standing with us. Let’s finish strong. 💚
