Scrapfest 301

Okay, have a few minutes before I wake the kids for school...First off ,Thank you to Sasha & Allison who had a crack at that photo of Janine. You guys both made the photo much better, and now I will enjoy scrapbooking it! Sasha, you are right, it is the story that is fun! Janine was really spunky & neat, that is what I will remember.

• So my big news I can finally reveal...
• I have been asked to be an instructor at
• Canada's Scrapbooking Crop for Kids in Edmonton.
• This takes place Oct.12-14th this year!
• So I will be teaching 2 classes, a Family Calendar Canvas & a 5x5 Canvas accordion book. Both of my classes are sponsored by Canvas Concepts & Sassafras Lass and I am so excited.

• I would love to tell you a bit about this crop. It is taking place all across Canada to raise money for children's hospitals. It is the first of its kind and is only taking place this year. They are trying to get into the Guinness Book of records for having the most people scrapbooking together on one day for one cause. So are you in?
• This is probably going to be one of the most sponsored events in the world. Everyone thinks this is a major cause and the big wigs have come out!!!! Talk about prizes to give. If you want to check out some of the sponsors click here. Now, if you want to see some of the most amazing teachers click here. I'll be up today maybe (I had a little problems getting my pic to her.) But if you want to see the classes click here. The best part about this event is you don't have to register for all 3 days, you can go to 1, or 2, or all 3 days. So why not take your family up for the weekend, stay at the hotel and then when the kids go to bed you go down and scrapbook! I guess I forgot to mention that this takes place at West Edmonton Mall. Picture it now. Dad & kids go to Fantasyland, you to Crop for Kids.

Here was the crop for Kids booth. It was a very entertaining booth. It had some of the most amazing women in there. The coolest projects, the neatest kits to sell. You'll have to come to the event to believe me!

Okay, so my favourite little green truck. Could you imagine having this as your scrapbook room? She drives all over for crops, a husband can buy a gift certificate from her and then to surprise you, she parks on your driveway and you get a prepaid for shopping spree. Hello? Exciting or what?

My brother Steven came to see me at this event. I took him to see this truck, asked him what Jim would think of it as my new vehicle to get around, since we are buying a new vehicle. I think this is right up my alley.tee hee. Well Steven just laughed. Men hey? You know every scrapbooker out there wants her own personal, shop anytime, having the latest greatest at your fingertips.

Okay, well time to get boys dressed for school so I will show you my favourite product later this afternoon. Sorry but preschool calls.
