✨ THESE are the angels behind the 40 books. ✨

When you see 40 completed scrapbooks packed into boxes and headed to their families, it’s easy to see the finished product.

What you don’t always see are the hands behind them. The cutting. The gluing. The trimming. The tiny details. The long hours. The tables covered in paper, tools, photos and just a little creative chaos. 😂

These incredible people showed up and poured their time, talent, patience and love into our 40 Books in 40 Hours project.

Every page they created will eventually sit in the hands of a Wish family. Every photograph they carefully placed represents a moment that family never wants to forget. And every one of those 40 books carries a little piece of the people you see here.

Crops of Luv could never do what we do without our volunteers. They aren't just scrapbookers.

They are memory makers.
They are difference makers.
They are our angels. 💜

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to every person who helped make these 40 books possible.

You helped preserve 40 families' stories—and that is something pretty extraordinary.

A life preserved is a life remembered. 💜📚✨

❤️💛 WHY ARE ALL 40 ALBUMS THE SAME COLOR? 💛❤️

These 40 burgundy-and-gold albums were created as one special collection to celebrate 40 years of wishes at Give Kids The World Village.

We wanted the outside of every album to match because these 40 families are forever connected through this incredible milestone. But once you open the covers, each scrapbook is completely unique—filled with one child’s photos, personality, adventures, and unforgettable Wish memories.

The albums may look alike on the outside, but every story inside is beautifully one of a kind—just like the children they were made for. ❤️

Forty matching albums. Forty unique stories. A lifetime of memories preserved.

A life preserved is a life remembered.

🎉 FORTY BOOKS. FORTY WISH FAMILIES. ONE HUGE MILESTONE! 🎉

All 40 of our special “40 Books in 40 Hours” scrapbooks have officially been packed and shipped! 📚💙

Every page was made with love by an incredible group of volunteers to celebrate 40 years of wishes at Give Kids The World Village. Thank you to everyone who donated, created, packed, encouraged, and helped us cross this finish line.

Forty families will soon hold their precious Wish memories in their hands—and that is what Crops of Luv is all about.

A life preserved is a life remembered. 💕✨

💛 A Little Grace While We Take Care of Our Own

Over the next little while, things may move a bit slower than usual around Crops of Luv.

As many of you know, Crops of Luv is truly a labor of love and a very small, family-run organization. Right now, our family is navigating some very difficult changes with Mom’s health, and we need to give her—and our family—more of our time and attention.

Scrapbooks will still be completed. Packages will still be shipped. Messages will still be answered. We’re not going anywhere. 💛 They just may not happen quite as quickly as they normally do.

We’re asking for a little patience and grace while we figure out this new normal. Every Wish child and every album still matters deeply to us.

Thank you for understanding, for supporting Crops of Luv, and for allowing us the space to be family first for a little while. ❤️

A life preserved is a life remembered.

40 books. Countless helping hands. One unforgettable celebration of love. 💜

Together, we created 40 beautiful books for Wish families—each one preserving a Wish child’s story, treasured moments, and memories to cherish for years to come.

This retreat was powered by an incredible team of volunteers who packed, organized, hauled, loaded, unloaded, cleaned, created, and gave their whole hearts. We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

We may be exhausted, running on Diet Pepsi, very little sleep, and a whole lot of determination—but our hearts are overflowing with pride and gratitude. Knowing these books will bring comfort, joy, and lasting memories to Wish families made every late night worth it.

Forty books. Countless helping hands. An immeasurable amount of love. What a gift to these incredible families.

Would we do it again? Absolutely! Give us about three business days of sleep, and we’ll be ready to celebrate all over again. 😴💜

40 BOOKS. 40 HOURS. AND A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK AT THE MAGIC. ❤️📖

What an incredible weekend! Our 40 Books in 40 Hours challenge is complete, and today we had the chance to look through every single finished album as we packed them up for shipping. We couldn’t resist sharing a few sneak peeks with you! 😍

Every page is different. Every album is one of a kind. And every single one was created with love by volunteers who gave their time and creativity to preserve a Wish child’s precious memories.

From princesses and superheroes to roller coasters, family photos, and heartfelt handwritten notes, these pages hold so much more than pictures. They hold moments families will be able to revisit for years to come.

Our goal was to complete 40 handmade scrapbooks in 40 hours in celebration of Give Kids the World Village’s 40th anniversary. Volunteers were welcome to help with the albums or enjoy their own projects, and together we accomplished something wonderful. Learn more about Give Kids the World Village at https://www.gktw.org/.

I headed home today to get Mom settled and prepare for work tomorrow, while Jody is still at the retreat and will bring everything home tomorrow. So the unpacking adventure is still ahead of us! 😂

To everyone who helped make this weekend possible, thank you. We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished together.

A life preserved is a life remembered. ❤️

Thank you to Crops of Luv and Natalie Olsen for the absolutely stunning wish scrapbook you made for Aryas wish trip. She has looked at it over and over. She brought it to our family reunion today and wants everyone to sit with her and look at it. We cannot thank you enough for preserving these amazing memories. If you know anyone who took a wish trip, no matter how long ago, please reach out to Crops of Crops of Luv to get your free handmade scrapbook as well.

🚨 WE DID IT. 40 BOOKS IN 40 HOURS! 🚨

What started Friday night with a clock set to 40:00:00 and a goal that honestly felt just a little bit crazy… ended with ALL 40 handmade Wish-trip albums COMPLETE! ❤️📚

FORTY. BOOKS.

Created with love in celebration of 40 incredible years of wishes at Give Kids the World Village.

There was cutting. There was gluing. There was laughter. There was exhaustion. There may have been a little delirium toward the end. 😂 But page by page, layout by layout, this amazing group kept going.

And then that last layout went into Book #40. 😭❤️

We have never completed 40 albums at a single Crops of Luv retreat before, and I could not be prouder of everyone who helped make this happen.

Now, about that suspicious red book… 👀📕🐾

Our carefully planned mystery has gone slightly off the rails. 😂 Apparently our scrapbookers take their detective responsibilities VERY seriously and went searching for a clue that hadn't even been put out yet because their mystery master was at lunch.

So technically…

40 Books in 40 Hours: SOLVED. ✅
Mystery of the 40th Book: STILL IN PROGRESS. 🔎😂

We're waiting for everyone to get back so our Meddling Scrapbookers can finish the case.

Stay tuned. Because apparently 40 books was the easy part. 🤣🐾❤️

🚨 ONE HOUR LEFT. ONE LAYOUT TO GO. 🚨

When we started this crazy challenge Friday night, the clock read 40:00:00.

The goal?
📚 40 handmade Wish trip scrapbooks
⏰ 40 hours
❤️ In celebration of 40 years of wishes at Give Kids the World Village

We told you we had never completed 40 albums at a single Crops of Luv retreat before.

Well…

WE ARE DOWN TO THE VERY LAST LAYOUT.

ONE. LAST. LAYOUT. 😭❤️

And we still have an hour left on the clock.

For nearly 40 hours, these incredible volunteers have cut, glued, designed, laughed, encouraged each other and created page after page — all so more Wish families can have their precious trip memories preserved in handmade albums created just for them.

We are SO CLOSE.

40 books. 40 hours. 40 years of wishes.

Come on, #40… LET’S FINISH THIS! 💜💚❤️

🐾 And for those following our little mystery.
