Hi Friends! I know you've been waiting to hear about my 1st ever fund-raiser this past weekend and it was a fantastic success - over $500 was raised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada! WOW!!! I am thrilled to bits! To the ladies who participated and donated - thank you from the bottom of my heart. It brings tears to my eyes knowing how lucky I am to have such wonderful customers and friends in my life. You all ROCK and I really appreciate each and every one of you. The funds that we raised will help those fighting blood cancers, like my Aunt Gerri, and I'll be looking forward to my 2nd Annual 'Light the Night' Fundraiser next year!

We also had two very lucky raffle winners this weekend!
Kathy Baird won the Gift Basket that was full of Stampin' Up! product, a
gift certificate for a set of Acrylic Nails with Gel Overcoat (from
yours truly) and a Auto Detail Package from Atlantic Auto Spa, a brand new Paper Cutter and an 8x8 Linen Album - total value
of this basket was over $300! Kathy had never even heard of Stampin' Up!
before, and this was her first event so way to go Kathy!
I also had another raffle that was VERY popular (I received online donations as well!) and the winner of the amazing BIG SHOT DIE CUTTING MACHINE was Heather Dunham! YAY Heather! You sooo deserve this and I'm tickled that your name was drawn!
Everyone wanted to win this awesome Gift Basket! |
Refreshments included everything from brownies, Lemon Macaroon Squares, cookies, to Hot Apple Cider and the World's BEST Hot Cocoa! (Check out my recipe page later this week!) |
Everything is ready and waiting for a FUN night! (And judging from all the laughter, it really was!) |
Each guest's folder contained all their 8x8 cardstock as well as the page protectors and three pages of sticker embellishments from the "Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit". |
Speaking of 'hot dates', my husband was roped into drawing the names for the prizes! Thanks Honey! |
These are the twenty 8x8 pages we made, using the "Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit". I used MDS2 to create this, by the way - LOVE My Digital Studio! Photos of the page layouts will also be emailed out to everyone who participated (and those who weren't able to attend).
Very quick and easy and simple. Once home participants can add their photos and more embellishments, if desired, and of course their journalling. I hope this will become a cherished keepsake for themselves or someone special in their life.
Once again, to all of you who donated and/or participated in this fundraiser - thank you! I couldn't have done it without you! xxoo
HAPPY STAMPING!

Yay, Tina!
