WE SURVIVED SCRAPPINK....and it was all good!

I hosted ScrapPINK on Friday and Saturday and boy oh boy, did I have a bunch of surprise for the girls.
I made personalized name tags for every girl...aren't these adorable?

Two of my favorite people in the world...Esther and Barbara...they have the biggest hearts in the world!!!

Look at these babes and their boxes full of goodies. Every participant got a box full of scrapbooking (Goodies) and a Pink scissors was tied to a pink bow! Nay, Shenny, Sharon, and Maida began their ScrapPInk on Friday so they were the first one's here.

WE HAD HELPERS!!!! This is Ms. Alyssa helping Alma. (You can see the next generation of Scrapbookers in the works here!!!)

Vane and Ady, cropping their life away...LOL...SOme beautiful stuff was coming out of this table!!!

3 Of my funniest girls here...Annie, Michelle and Beatrice...(So much fun)

Ms. Jacqueline was a huge helper...she made a cake and BROWNIES!!! This young lady ROCKS with her baking skills....who would guess an 11 year old can bake like this?

We even had a birthday cake (thanks to Jacqueline)...Happy Birthday Beatrice!!!

And....this is me at the end of the day.....The girls are still kicking, Rios (the best husband a girl could ask for rocked and took care of business all day), and I was ready for bed....LOL

Thank you to all who participated. We were able to collect a good chuck of monies for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

I will try to post more pics tomorrow, but am waiting for my battery to load up! (I know I am missing some girls...so give me some time...sorry!!!)

And now...I am off to begin the preparations for CROPTOBERFEST on November 1, 2008.

HUGS!!

Happy Thursday ladies!!!!!

Well it's almost here and the truth is I am a little busy beaver. Have tons to do before the gang gets here.
I have some great things to post but I am just too tired at this point...so between today and Sunday...you guys are in for a treat.
I am in the middle of creating a class (WHY YOU ASK? Because although I have a million little things on my plate right now, my brain is on overload and I have begun to create and therefore, my class schedule for 2009 has already begun!!!!) This January class is going to be a VERY speical one...I am still working out the kinks, but ladies this is going to be one of my favorite classes as I am already seeing the meaning behind it.

Now have to leave you with something delish. I love being a girl. It is so much fun to buy clothes, purses, to scrapbook and buy paper and embellies, create pretty things, pefume..did I mention perfume? .....sigh...what we could do with more time and MORE MONIES...LOL

Here is a pic of my nieces and sis'. Totally different styles yet we are so similar. GUESS WHICH ONE IS JACQUELINE!!!! LOL. The youngest on this pic is 4 yrs. old. and the oldest is 42. (We will not share the name of the 42...OK, OK...it's me... it's all good.

Happy Thursday and have a safe and happy day.
HUGS!!!

Well, isn't grand to know such Great ladies?

I had a great time at the ScrapYard Sale at Scrapbooks"n"Stuff. This is one of the LSS. The owners are Lisa and Kobe and they are really nice ladies. Fun too!!! I don't get to participate often in their events as I am teaching most of the time, but they do have some awesome goodies in stock. They also have a great blog that you can check out here.go check them out! Here's Kobe, Me and Ady.

Here is one of our favorite girls: Laverne...she is such a sweet and talented gal.

These are two of my favorite girls. We met at the ScrapYard Sales quite a while ago, and have been participating ever since. We see each other every time we do these ScrapYard Sales and they keep me rolling with laughter. Great girls! (from left to right: Me, Barby, Ady & Eni)

Some of you asked what is a ScrapYard Sale...well the store rents a table to you and you bring your personal scrapbooking merchandise that you no longer want to use. You find some really great bargains and the truth is the LSS tends to have a huge turnout for these. At the end of the day, the store gives you a store credit and you can purchase new merchandise. ISN'T that a great idea? THANKS LISA AND KOBE!!!!

I had a great time with Ady and D. Although I missed Vanessa, as she is always a part of my (in) group...(that's what Margie calls it). LOL.

Well, am trying to mount all this stuff on the walls for my girls on Friday/Saturday.

Hugs,

ME
