Hi all,
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us and supported us in the organisation of our fundraiser. We raised approximately $2980. I can't tell you the exact number as I am posting this away from my own computer.
This was an amazing effort considering we had originally been hoping to clear $1000 and 30 people in attendance. In the end we had 75 people and we cleared almost $3000.
Thanks to everyone who came along for the day, listened to us talk, bought raffle tickets, lucky numbers, gave us gold coins for morning tea, attended our two exciting workshops and generally made the day an exciting and fun one.
Thanks again to Edgeworth Bowling Club, Wallsend Crafter's World, Jen Hall and Marion Werren for all of your support. We are so glad to hear that despite the storms last month that Wallsend Crafter's World is back on track and ready to deliver a better than ever scrapbooking experience.
If you ever get the chance, please help us support everyone who has supported us.

A girl can never have too many places to shop!
Hi there,
Me again. I have another update for you all. This time its to introduce you to a totally new place to shop. Because a girl can NEVER have too many reasons to shop.
We have recieved another wonderful donation from a new and exciting site called 'Fireside Crafts'
Please go take a look at the gorgeous new site full of awesome scrapbooking kits to help you get creative. http://www.firesidecrafts.com.au/
They have some beautiful stuff over there and a talented design team to offer you all the inspiration you could possibly need.
I love kits....it's nice to have someone pick all the elements you need and then all you have to do is turn it into a work of art.
Thanks Pauline for your support.
cheers
Lauren.

Here's the Latest.
Hi Ladies.
Just a couple of small things now that we are almost at the fundraiser.
Firstly, some exciting news. We may have told you before that the store that is supporting us on the day is Wallsend Crafter's World. The girls at Wallsend got swept away in Newcastle's wild weather a few weeks back but we are now happy to announce that they are back up and running and open for business. Please go and say hi to the girls, they are such wonderful girls and we are glad that they were able to make it through the floods and get back on their feet. And of course we are extremely thankful for all of their support.
Our next piece of news!!
We are now totally booked out.
We have been amazed at the huge response to our little shindig. And we have far exceeded our hopes for how many people we would have with us on the day.
If you were still wanting to come we apologise that we cannot take any more numbers but please email us and we will place your name on a standby list. If any seats become available before the day we will let you know. Please if you are emailing to be on the standby list leave us your phone number with your email so that we can reach you easliy.
As we have mentioned before we have two classes happening on the day. A paper bag class with Scrapbooking Memories Master Marion Werren & a layout class with Scrapbooking Memories Master Jen Hall.
If you would like to do either of these classes please send us an email, but remember to be quick. We have limited spaces for the class and they are being snatched up quickly.
For those of you who have been wanting to know what the timetable is for the day, we are working on it and it will be available on the day. If you are wondering what time you need to be there, the day is wide open for people to arrive whenever it suits them. Our first class for the day doesn't start until 11 so if you are there before then you will be right. If we have the final timetable finished before the day we will let you know, however there is a lot to be squeezed in and we are working flat out to make sure it is all done.
There will be raffles and prizes going on all throughout the day. There is no set time to give away all the prizes. We have many prizes and we are pretty sure you wont be dissapointed.
If you have booked a seat and have not yet paid please contact us to arrange payment as soon as possible. We have quite a few people who are asking to make bookings and we are turning them away as we have no seats left. If you still haven't paid you will need to do so by the close of business on Friday the 6th of July, after this date the seats will be made available to others who are on our standby list.
Ok...thats all from me for now.
I hope you are all getting excited. We have so much stuff happening on the day that you wont believe it.
stay tuned.
Lauren.
