All of our efforts combined netted $2,100.00 + School Supplies that will be used for our Annual Children's Holiday Party in December!! These children are so very grateful and thankful for your support, each year we are blessed to be able to watch these children open their gifts of toys, clothing, shoes, school supplies etc. Many have not had a gift in their lifetime, it is a very heartwarming experience, and all of you have helped make this event happen once again. Thank you!

Cricut!!

Well, I have the Cricut in my hot little hand:)

I really want to take it out and play with it, but I will refrain. I had the opportunity this past weekend to use a friends (rather she did it for me), but the title turned out really cute, esp. since I had purchased another title, but needed more, so the paper I used matched perfectly. I have posted the layout the word Explore is used with the Cricut.

Don't forget your chance to win the Cricut by getting sponsors, ask family and friends for their support. If you have questions, please ask.

Crop Update!

Hello!

I am back from a wonderful scrapbooking weekend at Disney. SDV or Scrapbookers Dream Vacation was a ton of fun. I took my mom and we scrapped, ate, took classes, shopped, chatted, made new friends, took pictures, ate, and slept very little. Can't say I got a ton done, but did have a great time and looking forward to next year!!

While I was away, I came home to some great surprises! Some registrations came in:) Some goodies for the goody bags from Carolee's Creations or Adorn it, and lots of interested ladies have contacted me about attending the event. It's a good thing!!

I am having a great time organizing this event, and have some great surprises in store!

Please take a look at the posts below regarding the T Shirts, we are preselling for $15.00 and I really need to have the order by 8/26. In placing your order ahead of time you will be able to have your choice of style, logo and size. I will have some the day of the event, but can not guarantee it will be what you are wanting.

Also, if you have any questions regarding Winning a Cricut, please feel free to e mail me. Think of this as raising funds through getting donations from your family and friends, like a relay for life.

E mail me at agoble@aol.com with any questions.
