Timeshare Crop! Want to crop for a WEEK at a great price?


I'm planning a "Week (end) long Crop" possibly for early December. We have a timeshare that we MUST use before January 11, 2010 and DH is short on vacation time this year so we are thinking of using our exchange for a week in Williamsburg, VA resort for scrapbooking and sightseeing. I could have 5 ladies at approx. $130.00 for the week or long weekend (without food) and it would cover the cost of the exchange. The price is NOT set in stone yet and may actually be less than $130.00 but, again, it depends on our exchange and where we end up going along with the addition of taxes.

I'm hoping to go back to Kings Creek Plantation in Williamsburg, VA. The townhouses are gorgeous with plenty of space for 6 people. Anyone interested would be welcome to come for the whole week or for the weekend.

WooHoo... Tomorrow is the Staples Adoption Crop Fundraiser!


I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I will be hosting a fundraiser to help us raise money for our adoption fund. There are 13 ladies that will be attending. We were originally hoping for 35 to 40 scrappers but I'm happy with 13. We did exceed our minimum to cover costs and will be adding approx. $300.00 to our adoption fund. The way I look at it is that every penny helps and brings us that much closer to adopting.

There have been some great prizes donated from other friends which we will be giving out throughout the day. It has also been awesome the number of people volunteering to help setup or provide food for the day! We will enjoy our crop from 9:30 to 5:30pm... Yippee!!!

I plan to post photos from the crop later next week.

Scrapbook Pages... Samples!


Here are some samples of my scrapbook pages. Enjoy!

The theme for the scrapbook that I'm currently working on is my Honeymoon from May 2005. This was my 9th trip to Walt Disney World and my new husbands first trip. We had a wonderful time with many great memories.

These pages are made using Stampin' Up Designer Series Paper Bella Bleu and Not Quite Navy Textured Card Stock. The remaining embellishments use various Stampin' Up product and some SEI or Basic Grey products but I'm not certain which is which.

This is how the 2 page spread looks:



Scrapbook Pages...


Well, since it is the month of May and NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING MONTH...

I've decided that I MUST post some scrapbooking pages. My husband scanned some pages for me recently and I've asked him to send me those pages which were done for our Adoption Profile. I'm also working on some other scrapbook pages which I'll be posting soon.

Keep watching! I hope to post some scrapbook pages by the end of the week.

Adoption Scrapbook Fundraiser Invitations


I've been working on invitations for my neighbors to participate in the Adoption Scrapbook Fundraiser that I'm having the end of May. These cards will be going out today - finally!

Most of the neighbors already know about the fundraiser and have committed but I really wanted to give them a nice, formal invitation. Next, I start working on all the Thank You cards to be given to everyone that attends.

So far, we have approx. 17 people attending and are hoping to double that number!


Genie Bag Housewarming Gift!



OK... I've been promising a new Genie Bag! Well, here it is.

I made this bag for a neighbor who happens to be a Realtor to give to a client at their closing just over a week ago. On Tuesday of this week, I heard from another individual that the new homeowners absolutely LOVE the bag which included a coupon for an order from me and a gift card to Lowes from the Realtor.

The best part is that the bag resulted in business, not from the couple purchasing the home but from a friend. They had shared with the friend about this beautiful gift bag and through chance circumstances, I met this friend while working at the fitness center where I work part-time and she asked for my help making cards for a Baby Shower! How awesome is that!

I really do love the way this bag turned out...
