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 :)

THANKS EVERYONE!

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

well i have black, red and white outfit under control....well ok i am wearing blue jeans but i swear everything else is black, red and white. I even have one back and one red shoe :) Now all i have to do is work on a name tag.

can you believe its only 2 weeks and 2 days? it is becoming so exciting and so very nerve racking all at the same time.

thanks for the feedback so far ladies, looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again

well that's the end of my lunch break so i must get back to work

THE BIG DAY!

well the big day is getting closer and closer....2 weeks and 6 days to be exact...but hey who is counting?.....lol

There are a couple of things you will need to be aware of on the day to help things go smoothly
1. When checking in please be patient, we will need tick you off the list, inform you of your table number and ask you to sign into the club.
2. if you are taking part in any classes you will then be required to check into these also and pay any money owing
3. if you are wishing to buy the kits for classes we ask that you make your way to the shop and purchase your kit to avoid any holds up at the start of the class. If you are not purchasing the kits please have all your products ready to go. As the classroom area is only a small space we ask that you only take with you what you need....there is no room for carts etc in the class room.
4. once everyone is seated i will do a quick welcome and thank you
5. there will be raffles tickets being sold all day, along with different competitions...so please bring plenty of golds coins....remember its all going to a great cause.
6. The colours of MD are red, black and white, so why not get into the spirit of things and wear these colours? there just might be a prize in it for the best dressed. Do not forget your name tags either.
7. the most important thing of the day is to have a lot of fun and meet some new friends

For those of you wondering about lunch and dinner, there is a bistro in the club which has cheap and yummy meals. Also please remember we are in a club so drinks can not be brought into the club with you. Tea and Coffee will be available for a gold coin donation and afternoon will also be supplied.

Wow i rambled on for longer than i expected...sorry girls!
looking forward to seeing you there on the day, all dressed in black, white and red with some amazing name tags :)
