We made it!

Lisa and I left Baton Rouge at about 10 this morning....we planned on stopping and sleeping, but she got some "extra energy" and we drove straight through to Disney!  So glad that we did !  We are checked in our beautiful room at the Disney Contemporary Resort, unpacked and about to get  some sleep!!!!!  We set up for SDV at 2 pm (so we may just get to sleep a LONG time!)!

We are so excited to get this show going and meet all the wonderful people coming  to SDV Orlando!  Hope to make lots of new friends!  We will post pics after we set up tomorrow!

Until then, we are gonna go  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Where to begin..........

We prayed about branching out to bigger/further conventions.   And did the floodgates open!

We have either.... not had enough sleep or lost our minds..but none the less...we are off to further& bigger venues!

Our first stop will next week in Orlando at Disney's Contemporary Resort for the SDV event!
We are so excited to go meet all the wonderful ladies there.  We will be travelling with Gina and Lenora from Gigi's Scrapbooking...it should be a trip to remember! We will also meet our sweet friend Nicole Petersen with Nicole Petersen Designs as well!

Now here is the biggie......the further/bigger event.....the one that shows we may have lost our minds....
We are going to BIRCH RUN, MICHIGAN!  To the Great Scrapbook Event.  It is only 1,164 miles (appx 18 hrs) away from home!  BUT all kidding aside, it is suppose to be HUGE!  It is the DEER HUNTERS first weekend in the woods and the wives come out to play!  They expect 1000-1500 women to shop/crop over the 3 day period!

Oh heaven, please don't let our cricuts burn up any time soon...they will be on full auto from here til January!

We will be traveling with Shelly, Anette and Alicia from Scrapbooks and  More in Denham Springs.  The NORTH has no idea what is about to hit them!  5 women, 1 suburban and a BIG u-haul!!  Again ...we will be meeting Nicole with Nicole Petersen Designs (are you seeing a pattern here).....heee heee

And did I mention we have many events in between all of this madness.....
August..... Landry's Crop benefit for MDA in Baton Rouge, LA
September....Scrapfest in Mandeville, LA
October....Scrappin with the Chicks, Baton Rouge, LA

Then it starts all over in January.  We are happy to announce we will be participating in Crop Connections In Pearl, MS.  Then Gigi's Scrapbookin Beach Retreat In Foley Alabama!

We have been so Blessed with growth, friends and wonderful customers over the past year!  It is amazing how we have grown!  Thanks to God for His many Blessings (and a good sense of humor)!

Leave us a message, let us  know if we will be seeing you at any of these events.  ALSO let us know if YOU know of  any awesome events around YOU!!!
Oh, one more thing....go find us on FACEBOOK and lets be friends!!!!

Who likes a good DEAL??????

My cutie-patootie friend Heather (Laugh Out Loud)  and some more CrAzY gals
are having a HUGE Scrapbook Garage Sale this SATURDAY!  Read the post below (I stole it from her blog) to get  all the Details!

Our trash is your treasure... Deals and Steals... call it what you will... BUT DON'T MISS IT! I have teamed up with some GREAT scrapbookers, who like myself, may have a slight buying problem...or a "I can't use that same paper on two layouts" problem...or "I thought that would match my pictures, but now I see it is COMPLETELY the wrong color" embellishment issue....


The current count is nearing 15 tables of scrapping goodies - all at rock bottom (CHEAP) prices!

It's this Saturday, August 14 from 9am to 1pm in my office parking lot. 10761 Perkins Road (bw Bluebonnet and Seigen - closer to BB - across from Sonic). Bring cash - no high tech credit card machines here :)

And all sellers will be present - so let the wheeling and dealing begin....
 
 
So go show up and get you some GOODNESS at great prices!!!

Scrapbooks and More benefit crop....

Shelly and the gang at Scrapbooks and More in Denham Springs will be holding  "Landry's Crop" on August 28 @ St Andrews United Methodist Church on Monitor Avenue in Baton Rouge.  Check out the info in this email from them;

Can you believe it’s time to send the kids Back to School? So that must mean it’s almost time for the MDA Tele-thon too. This is a very important event to us at Scrapbooks and more… as most of you know Anette’s daughter Landry has a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. So to assist Landry with the effort to raise money for research and a cure we are having a Crop. On August 28th.



From 9a-10p at St.Andrew’s Methodist Church join us for “Landry’s Crop”. Only $30.00 gets you a spot for 11 hours of cropping and 2 meals. Lots of fun, prizes, games and help to raise money for MDA. We will have a special area for our 12 year old and up to crop as well as an Adult cropping area. So round up your friends and come beat the heat with us so we can raise money for a great cause. I want to send out a special thank you to Melanie Hyatt for her help in organizing the event. All of you will know her as one of the Kit-a-Licious girls and I am so happy to say that they will have their Kits at Landry’s Crop. We are also working on a surprise to be revealed that day! Call 225-665-9478 to place your $10.00 deposit. Watch the live telethon on Labor Day and see Landry presenting the money we raise.

So pick up your phones and sign up now ( I hear it is filling up very FAST!!)

have a scrap-tacular day!
Melanie, Lisa  and Beverly!
