Packed Up and a SCRAPATHON DAY

Good morning Ladies

Well..... these are some photos of some of the supplies you wonderful, generous ladies donated.And talking about generosity the wonderful freight company RAND have donated the freight from here to Queensland for us!!!

Altogether we have - 7 of those mega big boxes (thanks Linda for aranging boxes for me)- SIX boxes of paper - totes, (which have other totes and punches in them!) and the Sizzx Machine and dies.
The response was overwhelming, clearly some stores went through all of their shops as well and donated stock(Tomorrow Memories had HEAPS- thanks ladies xox).


Because we had SO MUCH STUFF, Mel and I spent a few nights sorting and packing for Michelle. (my Hubbies face was a classic with stuff everywhere for a few days LOL!)

We took out anything that was opened or half bits of paper etc so now we have a HUGE bunch of stuff left .... Mmmmm what to do

WELL ..........

Mel and I are organizing a SuperScrap for any ladies who are interested in creating layouts to send to Sharryn Thomson (Rising Waters Flood Relief)

SUNDAY 27th February ................. 9am-9pm

The TuartHill/Yokine Scouts hall have donated their venue
(Yay- a little rickety and old but a free clean venue to meet at)

Entry will be Nil as you are donating your time to do layouts or cards for the flood relieve.

We will have PAPER and EMBELLISHMENTS (and some paints) to make the layouts with - All you need to bring are your own tools and adhesives to create, create, create !

But wait there is more..... We will be selling on the day

Cold cool drinks $2 per can
Tea, Coffe or Milo $1
Cupcakes Mini .50C
Maybe some choclates?

Maybe a raffle or two ??? ... ... ...

ALL OF THE MONEY RAISED ON THE DAY WILL BE DONATED TO THE FIRES APPEAL AT THE BENDIGO BANK FOR THE HOMES LOST/DAMAGED IN LAST WEEKENDS HORRIBLE FIRES.

We will even have a special prize DONATED BY DUSTY ATTIC Chipboard company for the lady/ladies who do the most layouts (12x12) and layouts (8x8) and cards on the day.

So, grab your tools, a cushion (because I take one LOL - and it is 12 hours !!!) and your loving spirit and come and join us for a get together Scrapathon.

Pick up days

Hello Ladies

First I would like to say a big thank you to all of the stores that have been collecting for us but a BIGGER THANK YOU goes to you - for donating your excess goodies.

I know of a store that got a bit of "flack" for collecting for Queensland and NOT for Carnarvon people here in WA who are also flooded - I would like to say that if anyone knows of someone that needs their stash replenishing in Carnarvon or surrounding areas to email me and I will absolutley send some of the stuff to them. It is not that we forgot about our own beloved state it is just that the amount of people affected in QLD was mind blowing - SORRY If we have upset anyone in this process of trying to help but all you neeed to do was drop me an email!

So without a further a-do .... these are the days/dates Mel or myself will be collecting from the stores
