~ take a look at this! ~

Hiya!

I'm so impressed by the amount of donations that have been rolling in within the past week. Scrappin' for MS! is gonna rock this year. I'm still gettting group registrations and there are only a few days left to the event.

Remember... We DO accept some walkin registrations, although I'm not expecting very many. I'm a little worried actually... as we get near our Max number 40 things will get tricky. As of right now our Max number is for food, reg. packs & class spaces. I may have to turn away people after my Max number... That would be a shame as I would love to collect as many pledges as I can. I hope most people register in advance!

Okay for those of you who are registered and ready to come on down here are a few preview shots...

I hope you like what you see! See some of you on Saturday!

~ sense-ational sunday ~

Happy Easter Everyone!

Just thought I'd let you know how things have been going around here!

It's been crazy getting ready for the Scrappin' for MS! NEXT WEEKEND! ~ collecting prizes {tonnes of them!}; purging & gathering for the Garage Sale at the event ~ recording the donations that have been generously made; making signs for the various activities around the gym; and coming up with a fun & yet realxing schedule for the day! And you know that I'm loving every minute of it! :)

I hope you all are having a fantastic Easter. What a great day to celebrate Spring!

Here's how it's been over here in my little corner of the world...

{Good Friday - Public Way of the Cross - Archbishop Wisegerber holding the cross on the other side}

{Saturday - Easter Egg Colouring - Having a little bit of fun with Jules, dying some eggs}

{Easter Sunday - Big Family Lunch at the Portuguese Association of MB}

I feel so blessed & grateful for all that I have been given.

I see my daughter, husband, mother, father, sister (s) & brother.

I hear prayer for a great day & eternity in a loving place and the familiar sound of a cute little toy (bunny).

I smell great food made by fabulous people.

I cannot wait to taste some of the fabulous chocolate my daughter has been given... you bet she's sharing! :)

Have a great weekend & I'll post some more pics in the weeks to come.

fabu friday!

Hi there!

Things are on a roll for Scrappin' for MS! on April 18th, 2009. I've spent most of this week picking up prizes, doing some paper work & getting things together for this great cropping event. If you haven's registered yet send me an e-mail and I'll get the registration form to you. If you won't know unitl closer to the date, don't worry about space... we'll be accepting walk in registrations for the event!

I have some fabulous friends who have offered to design and teach a few classes at this year's event, and I know that you're all gonna want to come & try them. As everyone gets 1 free class and there are walk in registrations, the procedure for sign up is as follows:

* Samples & sign-up sheets will be at a table for a first-come-first served basis for a max of 10 per class.

* Once class begins, if there are any open spots and you'd like to do a second class, you can do so for the price of a donation to the MS Society!

* There are 4 classes being offered & as of yesterday there were only 21 registrations (with room for plenty more)

Here are the classes being offered at our event:

{stencil layout - lucky me~ Cindy Cordeiro}

{round card class - you colour my world ~ Kelsey Kolench}

{mini-album - about me ~ Ellen Thompson}

{mini-album - you two ~ Ellen Thompson}

I'm really excited about this event & I can't wait to see how each of you interpret your class creation!

Remember... if you want to come just send me a message & I'll get a registration form to you ASAP!

See you soon,

Cindy

~ wow wednesday ~

My wow is with Microsoft Vista.
For all of the bad press on Vista, I actually enjoy it.
I've been on the past week & although different, it is quite managable & clear.
I hope that this keeps up... you'll hear about it if it doesn't! :)

Upcoming Events:
4th annual Scrappin' for MS!

I've finally narrowed down a couple of dates for this event.

It's been tricky with the Brandon Charity moving to Early April,

Easter Weekend in the middle of the Month &

Scrapyard Scrapbooking having their convention the weekend I usually have mine.

wow... when I fall behind, I really fall behind...

Anywho, I'll let you know as soon as my team gets back to me on which date would work best for them.

As for the location, we're moving to St. Charles Catholic School, bigger, brighter & seperate cafeteria. It's also free! :)

As was in the past Registration includes a $15 dollar donation to the MS Society, registration pack, 1 class (others optional), Prizes, Dinner & now possibly lunch.

The school caterer is puttiong together a list of foods & prices for me. So, we might be moving on from Pizza & Veggies, while still maintaining a low registration price of $35.

I'm really excited about this year's event!

If you would like to participate in any way shape or form, please give me a call, send me an e-mail or post a comment below. I'll take all the help I can get to make this event fun, fabulous & successful.

Last year, with a litte help from some dear scrapbooking friends,my participant numbers doubled & I was able to raise over $650 dollars. I hope to raise just as much, if not more, as I walk for a very dear freind of mine this year.

I'll keep posting more info & I'll even send out an invitiation using facebook.

Mommy's Scrap Club!

So this has sort of fizzled, but I'm still hoping to have some sort of scrap club that meets once a month. I really need it to keep me scrapbooking. I know I'm not the only one finding it difficult to scrapbook, raise a child & work. :) Let me know if you're still interesed & I'll set up some dates. I'm hoping to have my first one at the end of next week, but we'll see how it goes.

I'll send out an invite via my newsletter e-mail list & if you're not on it give me a buzz via phone, e-mail or blog. I'll be happy to pass it along to you!

Talk to you all again soon,

Cindy

wow... that was a lot for one day...
