Crop 4 Kids

Wow! Today I went to scrapbook crop, my first ever, and it was a blast! It is basically a big room with a bunch of tables set up with people scrapbooking. Everyone had their own bucket for scraps and space to work. There were snacks and drinks provided all day and lunch too. There were representatives from the area scrapbook stores and lots of door prizes - an extra ticket for each page completed. There was also a Chinese auction that I participated in and won a very nice scrapbook and page protectors worth about $40! Woo hoo!

The event was to raise money for CJ’s Bus which is a local mini-version of the American Red Cross for kids in the aftermath of natural disasters. It is a 40 foot trailer with extending sides that is a kid’s heaven inside – it travels to natural disaster sites within 500 miles and provides safe childcare to parents so they can get their affairs in order. CJ was one of the young kids killed when a F3 tornado hit Evansville in 2006. Very neat event.

I met this great lady named Shawn who used to teach classes at Michael's. We had a great afternoon. I finished Alyssa's scrapbook! Since there weren't as many pictures of Alyssa (Kenton's niece) as there were of Josh, I did an alphabet book for her that only requires about 30 pictures - 9x9 book.

haha, Anna, I love you, you would go to a scapbook day! The scrapbook looks amazing though! I feel like you've gotten so much better at it since like 4 years ago when I saw your last scrapbook :)
p.s. did I accidently copy you on the background thing of our blogs? I think Kod and mine's is the same! Did you change yours? Whoops! :)
