Stampin' Up Sunday afternoon

Well this was a great afternoon. What fun did I have. I won 3 lucky door prizes. I made 5 great little gifts. Here is photos of 3.

Many thanks to Vicki, Katie, Veanne & Janine. What a fun afternoon, playing with new toys (not your own if more fun - so long as you don't break them).

I am going go to my children's next school P & F meeting & put it to them to have a fund-raiser stampin' up demo & all items made to be donated to the school to be sold at the school fete. I have already asked Katie & Janine if they would come along and they have agreed, so far so good.

Well, I am now officially the prizes organiser & collector for this years "Girls' Nite In" for the Cancer Council fund-raiser in October. Thank you to Petrina for organising all previous fund-raisers, I have really big shoes to fill. Anyone out there who has any suggestions on anything that they would like to see or do on the night please please let me know).

Take care,

Lelli

OMG! What day is it?

OK! I have now worked 6 days in a row, I'm stuffed & I still got another full day of scrapping ahead of me tomorrow. Yes, it is the SSS Australia's Biggest Morning Tea annual fundraiser. So we "Scrappers" are in for a treat (so I was told by a close source), but, we don't have enough scrappers - So if you are interested in scrapping tomorrow for 6 or so hours, I know where there's a place for you to come & create.

http://www.i-scrap-therefore-i-am.blogspot.com 10.30am is when it all starts. I've heard whispers that there maybe a Baptism on in the church next door, so keep that yelling and hollering and excitement down when you arrive please - at least until you get in the hall, ok! ;-) Don't forget Petrina's challenge 1 of many on the day - get scrappin' mine's done - yes there is a first for everything.Now it is brag time - my little princess (maybe not - sometimes) got a 2nd place in the Crafty Kids section of the Sew What's Crafty Expo earlier today. She doesn't get it from me though, cause I can't even draw stick man any better than a 2 year old (sad huh!)

Fingers, toes, everything crossed that the Maryborough yearly show shows some compassion, this year (if I am good enough to win anything) it actually pays, $3-00 for a 1st & $1.75 for a 2nd & 50c for a 3rd. YAHOO. Getting paid for doing what I love to do to pass the time away. LOL!!!!

Oh, I almost forgot CONGRATS again goes to Petrina for taking out the MASTERS SECTION of the Sew What's Crafty Expo earlier today. So ladies/gents (as if anyone is going to read this) there is going to be chockies tomorrow (so I've been lead to believe)then it's on!

SEE YOU THERE, thinking of you Stephanie - hope your feeling a little better today than yesterday & better still tomorrow.

Please keep Stephanie in your prayers

I would like you all to keep Stephanie in your prayers tonight & all this week.

For those of you out there, who do take a peek here now & then, she is a fellow scrapper at SSS. She is to undergo her (hopefully) last chemo treatment on Thursday & will be too sick to join us this Sunday. So lets raise as much $$$ as we can for this great cause the CANCER COUNCIL help so many different people with their fight to find the CURE.

My thoughts are with you Stephanie, your fantastic, caring husband & children.

Lelli ;-)

The Count Down Is ON!

Less than 1 week until the Sew Whats Crafty Expo. Here is their website just in case you maybe interested in taking a peek http://www.sewwhatscrafty.org.au/pages.php?pid=4. I hope to see many of you there on either Friday night or Saturday (after I finish work though, YES! I have to work!)

Also just over a week til the "Cancer Council Fundraiser Biggest Morning Tea/Afternoon" being held by the SSS club (run by Petrina & Cassie) http://www.i-scrap-therefore-i-am.blogspot.com/.

Well I finally made it to the Midnight Scrap last night at The CAC (Creative Artz Cottage) for the uninitiated. I hadn't been since Jan 26. :-(

I must say a Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Danielle & her husband Craig because little GRACE is just beautiful & definitely has more hair than most husbands.

OK, now I've got to go as I haven't quite finished my layouts for the show, they've got to be there by Monday afternoon.

See you all later (well those of you who read this anyway)

Retreat update

OK, OK!!! I know I have been slack with this blog......
I know that the retreat was last week-end & I didn't get there for the whole time but made it for the last 4 hours. I had to work on the Saturday & at the last moment was invited to a Stampin' Up party. So I made the most of the situation none the less.

I was there to witness what a mess 24 women can make when men or kids are not present.

I was welcomed into the hall with open smiles & why was I there earlier. I must say though through mess on the floor & layouts on the walls I could see that a lot of fun was had by all, including the scrapper (who will remain nameless for now) who stayed up from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, endevouring to finish the album she HAD to do!
Well done Sandra - you are one of a kind scrapper.......

Petrina & Cassie I am lead to believe were none the less spectular as always with their layout packs & amazing ideas for the whole week-end.

So now only 3 weeks to go until the Biggest Morning Tea Scrap Day. I hope Petina isn't going to run short of bottles. I endeavour to drop off my goodies to her this week (I promise Petrina).

I have some sad news today........................................
I didn't win the EDM competition held by For Keeps Magazine. I got my album this afternoon :-( Oh well maybe another time.

Until then - Take Care (but be careful doing it)
