Hi Ladies

I sadly have to say that I will not be able to host another crop day this year. Due to health reasons and work commitments i just will not have the time.

BUT the good news is that I am already planning TWO events for next year.....yes i did say TWO.

When i have more information I will be back, so please keep checking back.
thanks for all your support ladies and thanks for all the interest you have shown in coming along to future events

keep checking the blog for the announcement of the dates for the next crop

its official

the official count of money raised is:


$3261.90

thanks ladies for all your support I am totally blown away by the amount we raised.

I have been asked to host another 12 hour crop day before Xmas and many of you may have heard me talking about it last Saturday. At this stage i am still unsure if i will have the time to organise things in time, but i will be back soon to let you know if it can be done.
One thing is for certain, i will be back next July with a 12 hour crop, i will announce the date very soon.

I will also post photos very soon so keep an eye out for them. They might even pop up in a scrapbooking mag or two :)

THANK YOU

THANK YOU to everyone for coming along yesterday and supporting MDA. I do not have the "official" amount raised BUT i can say it is over $3000. Once i have been to the bank i will post the "official" amount raised. I am blown away by the amount raised and can not thank you all enough for showing your support.
I have a few individual thank yous to make:
Firstly a huge thank you to LISA and GAIL. They worked non stop all day selling tickets and making sure everyone had everything they needed....thanks girls :)
Secondly I want to thank the teachers, Jen, Janine and Marion (links to the blogs in the side bar) from the feedback i have heard your classes were heaps of fun. Thank you for your hard work in making the classes happen.
Thirdly thanks to Sasha www.shopandcrop.com.au for being the shop, organising the kits for the classes and the amazing donations of: 6 vouchers for classes at shop and crop, a monthly kit, The Cropadile and $216 from the sale of the class kits. Thanks Sasha!
I also want to thank my mum, Auntie Jennie, Auntie Lorna for all your wonderful cooking and hard work on the day. Also a big thanks to my "barrel dudes" Jake and Emma you did a wonderful job of drawing the raffles. Thanks to Sharon for selling fruity faces and donating $70 from the sales. Finally thanks to Reg, Lauren and Jane for helping with photos, judging competitions for me and keeping me sane!
Please keep checking the blog i will be back soon to announce the date for the next crop day. I have a few things in mind and the next day just might be sooner than you think :)

2 more sleeps

only 2 more sleeps to go :)
hope everyone is all organised....i know I'm not.....lol
please email me if you need any further information

it's getting closer!

Not long now, so much is happening around here ready for the big day.
The raffles and competitions have been sorted. So to give you all a heads up, we will have 4 different raffles, a name tag competition (so get making those name tags), a LO competition (the only condition is that the LO is done at the crop and not be part of the classes), a guessing competition (i am sick of the site of M&M's...lol) and a lucky numbers competition. So there are plenty of chances to win something!
I have been busy wrapping the prizes and can not believe how many I have to give away in the raffles and different competitions, i am truly blown away by the support I have received.
Sasha from www.shopandcrop.com.au has donated a bucket load of prizes! A Paper Gator as the main prizes in the big raffle, a Shop and Crop Cropaholics Kit, 3 Crop Kits and 5 vouchers to attend classes at Shop and Crop.
Michelle at www.scrapbookdivas.com.au has also donated an awesome prize pack, a clear album, the whole range of Basic Grey 2 Scoops papers, BG alphabet, Kaiser rubons, bling, flet and heaps more!
I had to work this morning :( and this afternoon needed some time out from planning the fundraiser so i took myself off to The Scrapbook Diva's crop day and I had so much fun, all the ladies are really friendly and Michelle has her shop there so you can buy all this have to have items....lol. So if you are looking for a local monthly crop pop over to www.scrapbookdivas.com.au and find out more.
See you all on Saturday
