50's night scrapbooking style

This last weekend was my last scrapbook retreat until I get back from Jamaica. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun it was. No sleep, no sleep, no sleep. Very good food, and probably the most wonderful friends a girl could have. Lori Drouin, the hostess of this weekend, donated a raffle of a free retreat at a dollar a ticket, with the funds to go to Markie and I. Mind you there was about 30 women there. They raised 500.00 for us. When I see such love and encouragement and support come from people, it just makes me know even more, that they feel this it what we are supposed to be doing. You know what I mean????? Some people think its just crazy, that we would go and do something like this without pay to boot, and others well sometimes I think they are just thinking we are going on an extended vacation paid by others. To these people, we hope to show them with this blog, that everyones support is so appreciated and needed for us to do what God wants us too. Thank you scrapbook friends for your awesome support.... hugs to all.

2nd. fundraiser

On May 8th,10 a dear friend by the name of Jael Komak is doing a scrapbooking fundraiser for Mark and I. Tables cost 22.00 and that is what is donated to us. But for you.... you can bring all your scraps that you never use or used but don't want, or just stuff to sell so you can buy more, display it on your table and all the money sold is yours. If you are interested please let me know because there are only a few tables left for sale. But if you want to come and support everyone, it will be at 119 Texas st. Trinity Lutheran Church, but the big building behind called The Grace Center, May 8th from 8-3. There will be a car wash going on and muffins and coffee for sale. So please come. Thank you

Our first fundraiser

Well we had our first fundraiser. We had a scrap booking 12 hour crop. Markie and Jenni were our cooks, Amy did breakfast, and Stacey sold scrap booking supplies. It was so much fun, and Grace Center was such a fantastic place to have it. I loved taking everyone on a tour. Thank you to everyone involved, we couldn't of done it without all your help. Jael and Nora are going to put on our next fundraiser, which will be at Grace Center as well in April. What will happen is if you have craft things to sell(like your over load of items you have never used) then you would buy a table. We can fit a lot of tables in there. We will advertise just like a garage sale, you will make the money of what you sale, and the fundraiser part would be how many tables we sell. I can hardly wait. I just have such wonderful friends. Thank you ladies.

UPDATE:

Amy from my church has told me she would like to make breakfast for our crop on the 27th. So we will be having scones a yogurt bar,fruit and good coffee. Instead of costco muffins. Hip hip hooray... Thank you so much Amy, you are a dear friend.
