THANK YOU

THANK YOU ladies for a wonderful day



The money has been counted and the official amount raised for Child Wise was $2046.75. Thank you everyone for all your support.
I would like to thank a few people for their amazing effort to make the day possible:


Firstly a HUGE thank you to Melody from The Body Shop @ Home for working ALL day at The Beauty Bar and raising a massive $275.........I can not thank you enough Mel for all your hard work and generosity.


If you love Body Shop products (and seriously who doesn't?) then contact Melody on 0410668105 and book a party. Melody has told me that she will donate $30 to Child Wise for every party booked from the fundraiser, so make sure you tell Melody that you meet her at the fundraiser.

Secondly I would like to thank Michelle from Scrapbook Divas for doing a wonderful job with the shop again this year. If you enjoyed our fundraiser crop why not join us each month for a casual crop day @ Edgeworth Bowling Club? visit Michelle's website www.scrapbookdivas.com.au and sign up for the newsletter so you know when all the crop days are.....we would love to see you there.


Thirdly thanks to the ladies at Embelles for there amazing generosity in donating so many great prizes. Check out the girls blog here and see what they are up to......they always have something amazing happening http://embellees.blogspot.com/
finally i would like to thank my amazing helpers:

thanks Nat for helping us with the lolly bar and also running a very successful make and take


thank you to Reg for helping with everything and listening to me when it all became to much and i needed to whinge like a 2 year old

also a big thank you to Lauren for helping out with ticket sales and drawing the raffles and a big thank you to my mum for helping us get set up early in the morning.

Thanks again ladies for another successful day.

I am bursting with excitment

Hi Ladies

the planning and preparation is now in full swing. Regina and I spent the day together planning and preparing yesterday and we have a fun surprise for you all but you will have to wait till the day to learn more

The lovely Natalie will be doing a make and take on the day for a gold coin donation. Nat will be teaching us all how to make those wonderful hat pins that seem to be popping up on projects everywhere at the moment. I for one will be first in line to take part. Thanks Nat for your time to make this happen


Yesterday i received a wonderful email from Miss Lizzy at Embellies. The girls at Embellies are donating seats in some of their up coming workshops this year for us to raffle. How amazingly generous is that? To see what the Embellies girls are up to go here http://embellees.blogspot.com/

This year we are going to try something new and exciting. We are going to have a Beauty Bar available on the day. The totally AWESOME Melody from The Body Shop @ Home will be doing mini facials for just $10 each, she will also be doing hand massage, soak, cleanse exfoliate and moisture massage (using something that soaks in well so that you can go straight back scrapping also for just $10. Now here is where it gets even more amazing, every cent raised from the Beauty Bar goes straight to Child Wise AND if you take part in a mini facial or hand massage you go in the draw to win an awesome Body Shop prize!!!

Michelle at Scrapbook Divas tell me she has some awesome prizes to donate and she will reveal all very soon

don't forget ladies payment is due before the day and can be done so by going here http://www.mycause.com.au/mycause/raise_money/fundraise.php?id=18069

update

well its not long now and i have to say i am very nervous and excited all at the same time

i just wanted to mention some very kind ladies who are helping out by making donations towards our raffles on the day. Alex is wanting to donate some stamp sets and you can learn more about Alex and the stamps by going here http://www.ippitywithalex.blogspot.com/ Thank you Alex :)

The Body Shop has been wonderful by agreeing to donate some baskets of goodness, who doesn't love body shop products??

And do not forget about Michelle at Scrapbook Divas who is coming back this year to be our shop...thank you Michelle for your continued support, you can find Michelle's website by going here www.scrapbookdivas.com.au

I have been asked a few times if we are having classes at this event and sadly the answer is NO. Our usual wonderful teachers deserve a day where they can come and scrap and enjoy the day along with the rest of us. I am planning on holding yet another Crop day later in the year and my fingers are crossed that the lovely Jen and Marion will teach classes at this event for us

Well it's back to planning for me right now, i hope to be back soon with some exciting news
