What a great day it was at Living Hope Baptist Church youth center Saturday. The Sally Scrappers pulled off a great day of scrapbooking. We started off with donuts and coffee in the morning that were yummy. Bonnie, from Scrapbook Village, did a Where Do I Begin class for 6 new scrappers. Then they were off and scrappin the rest of the day. A wonderful lunch was served, lots of door prizes, and great music. Thank you for supporting this great cause.Over $800.00 was raised for the Salvation Army in Bowling Green,KY. The date is set for next year and I am hoping to see more of you.

Love the drop in FALL BREAK scrapbookers. Favorite teachers from T-Ville were hard at it creating, constane chit chat and munching on food. they are so faithful and working hard on their books. it was fun catching up.

Regina is glad people support her with autism and decided to give back to the community as her gift from God. We have gone for two years, every month to a nursing home,and scrapbook the activities the residents participate in. They love to look at themselves and giggle. When they pass on, the family is presented the album and most of the time it is displayed in the funeral home so family and friends can enjoy seeing them their activities in the home..happy, functional, and busy from the everyday routine. Today was a thank the volunteers luncheon. One lady approached us following the lunch in tears and said her mother died last month and the they cherish the album from her last 2 years more than anything. She was so grateful to have it. That's the power and blessing of scrapbooking.

It's here!!!. FANCY PANTS designs had a great class for instructors at CHA Chicago and we couldn't wait to get it in..  Creative and can be used with cards or layouts and features cute designs Very versitle. Come see.

Great gals..Great projects.. Great day.. Great way to learn how to scrapbook…and lots of fun too! Everyone was having the best time. Janett led the camp and the gals learned many techniques, followed  with Bonnie Cheely and Faye making cards, tags and cookie gift bags. The new gals as well as some seasoned scrappers were awesome.

  Gracie dropped by to get new things to begin her 70th album! She has completed 69 albums and her goal is 200. What a gal!
