scraparoni a huge hit

well scraphunger went off with a big bang, it was great but the one who stoll the show was scraparoni, he was a huge hit. we all took our photos with him and as him and we enjoyed doing it. yea scraparoni....now as i dont have the final tally on the amount collected as of yet i can say that we collected 1 3/4 more barrels than last year and they were heaped to the top more. as the parking lot filled with cars i felt overwhelmed with happieness. just to know that we are helping more this year i am so happy. the joy from that is far more than i can ever explain. and it is true as i am proof that you dont have to have alot to care for your fellow man. just have the passion to care and find the way to do so. well i will say goodbye for now and as soon as i get the tally i will let everyone know.   Dream a Dream for it may be the change inwhich all surrounds.....

hello everyone

well, i finally have time to sit down and write. heres the run down of the days that seem to go bye so fast that they smear into each other, for fear once you blink the many hours have passed. and so it goes right? well as you all know a friend and myself went to a crop in lincoln city, i complained about the service there and the bed but what i didnt have time to really talk about was the crop itself. first let me say that the ladie whom not only ran the crop but also is the owner of stacys scrap shack did a WONDERFUL job. dispite the fact that she was very busy. it came off as a great crop. the make n take was very cute and usefull. the surroundings were calm. the ladies whom also attended were very nice and helpful if asked. you did not even have to leave your cropping to purchase something you needed as they would take the need and pick it up for you. now myself being a fellow crop hostess i must say it was worth the trip. THANK YOU STACY.  well i came home to not only the regular duties but a phone call from a friend that id went to school with, wow to think back all those years hahaha, anyways, she starts radiation treatments for bone cancer. horrible that nasty c word. cant there finally be a cure? so i went down and spent the weekend with her. with prayers and hope overseen with love these treatments will work. so tonight is bunco, so much fun the group of ladies are a blast. i have a yudu machine from cricut its a home screen printing machine ive made each ladie a shirt thats an peace sign which says peace love bunco with a flower very cute. anyways id better get off here and get 3 more done for tonight than the whole group has one. so this was a long rundown of the past week or two. till next time.wear a smile, love one another and send your prayers above for those in need. take care.

back from the crop

hello, hello everyone. well my friend and i went to the crop in lincoln city this past weekend and we had fun this was my friends first ever crop so she was unsure what to think. i meet some very nice ladies. and was able to speak with them about the condo crops i do and the scraphunger so with all the blessings i will see new faces at both. in my next blog i will tell everyone about my condo crops. oh they are lots of fun. i was lucky enough to get some cards done that was my goal. the time went to fast though. everyone runs their crops diffrent so my friend was unsure what to think. the main bummer about the time was the rudeness from the checkin and check out people. we will not be staying there again even if its conveinant its not worth the headache. and the beds are horribly hard. live and learn right? well all in all we had a great visit and got some things done. and the day was nice all day saterday thats a huge plus. well time for bed so gonna go goodnight everyone till the next time.....have a wonderful night...
