The Party is Over

and now the work begins again.

What an AMAZING weekend the 3rd Annual MS Crop 4 Hope turned out to be. I am desperately trying to catch up with everything going on in the real world, unpack, put my house back in order, deal with a really sick child AND write all the fantastic ideas down for the next one that I have been receiving.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed in some form or fashion to making this weekend happen.

I PROMISE a very detailed post, SOON.
One very tired,

Arrrg Pirate Loot You say?!

Just wanted to let you ALL know that you def. wanna find out what PIRATE LOOT is all about.

Our fabulous vendors are all donating a % of their sales back to the Mid-Florida Chapter of the National MS Society to help raise money and as a huge THANX to all of you, we have created PIRATE LOOT for you this weekend.

What is PIRATE LOOT you ask? Well, it is simple...........for every $20 you spend with a vendor you will receive a PIRATE LOOT entry into three absolutely AMAZING drawings. I am not sure that I am complete liberty to say here, but I will spill just a little..............

How would an ENTIRE set of AMM scrappy luggage(yes, rolling tote, shoulder bag, wallet and matching purse sound?) a free MS Crop 4 Hope, $50 off an MS Crop 4 Hope?????

Well, I am not going to say any more as I just might get into trouble, but ARRRRRRRGGG,
PIRATE LOOT is going to make some people VERY happy and no one will have to walk the plank, I PROMISE.

See you all on Friday.
Jax

I would also like to add an additional donation to the Crop4Hope for any Home Shows that are booked at this weekend's event. I will donate 10% of sales from any Home Show booked directly from this event upon submission of the show to Premier. For Example, if 10 ladies book and hold shows at which at least $500 in sales results, that would result in an additional $500 in total additional donations to Crop4Hope!! Not to mention all the free jewelry that each hostess will receive from their shows.
