My exciting NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

So here's my news! The "Cruisin Away" crop that is being held on September 29th totally sold out and the waiting list for cancellations is huge! So I've been totally been asked to do another crop! And of course I said YES! So the 2nd crop is on October 27th,2007 So last night I ordered all NEW goody bags for everyone because they have to be different from the first crop of course. And I am going to do a totally different class as well. So it will be super exciting!!! Sign up for the new one is starting right now too! I know that for all the ladies that came to the store and put your name on a waiting list, you will be given a spot. Just make sure you confirm that you still want it. All proceeds of gently used scrapbook supplies will also go towards the underprivileged children's group as well! And heck if you can't make it to the 2nd one just mention that you are still interested in the first one. you never know what will happen...

And second of all, I'm just filled with news today!!!!

• Corrine Braun(super cool lady! I have a link to her site on the side) works at the Dundurn Army Base. This year they are trying to send as many cards as possible to our Canadian troops overseas. this is an amazing cause as we all know how they are sacrificing their lives to make the world better. So on September 13th there will be a
• Cardmaking Crop for Troops at my house. Bring any unwanted Christmas paper or ribbon to make the cards with. And if you have nothing come anyways with your paper trimmer and adhesives!One thing Corrine did mention is that absolutely NO metal (brads, hinges, bookplates, paperclips, etc) can be used on these cards as it just causes more problems going through security. So keep that in mind! This is such an amazing cause. Hope to see you here! (I will tantalize your buds with scrumptious appetizers too!) I'll pull out my best Martha Stewart recipes. Actually to tell you the truth I might call Saucy because that girl knows how to throw a party, go and check out her food pics. All I can say is WOW...I want to be like Martha & Sasha! email me if you are coming!
• Third point of interest: I am going to be having a
• "Scrap Swap & Chat" at my house September 18th. Anyone is welcome. This is what is going to take place. Everyone will bring an appetizer of some sort as well as their old supplies & scraps they no longer use and their favourite albums. We will visit, eat, share albums and then we are going to spread all the scrapbook supplies out. Then if there is something you want, you can take but you have to give something as well. So the end result is that we have all taken some new to you items but have created a huge amount of boxes to donate to Kate Kading's underprivileged children's scrapbook group. We all know we hoard supplies that realistically we are never going to use again so why not help a good cause out. It is also a nice social evening to get to know other scrapbookers as well as share our albums. So if anyone is thinking that they would like to come but are so new to scrapbooking that you have nothing to give, you are still welcome of course! The idea is to share and have fun.
• Oh and yes, Mindy, Terry & Lori ,Jim's still laughing that I told him you guys wanted a sleepover party that night. Funny thing is he thinks we are joking hey?....

sorry it seems so overwhelming but all these important causes have deadlines for them to get to the people in charge. So put them on your calendar and come out and socialize and have fun!!!!

So absolute LAST topic of discussion...
