getting ready

Gals,
I am trying to tie up all loose ends, finalize all the details and finish it all up. YIKES. I guess I had better pack something that looks scrappy that doesn't have a raffle number on it. right?

Also need to pack some clothing, charge camera batteries, and and and.

I am leaving tomorrow morning, but can be reached via my cell number if you need me and I will check in from the hotel.

Email me or shout if you know of something I forgot.
Happy Travels and can't wait to see ya all.
Jax

last minute reminders for you

we have a late comer in the vendor spot and u will DEF. want to check out the blog to read about Gina and Accountable Kids. I can NOT wait to purchase one for my lil guy. It appears to be just what we need around here.

Also, do NOT forget the Scrappy Yard Sale.......bring all the items that are scrappy related u no longer have a "home" for. Put a price on them and have them join the swap table. A quarter, a dollar, fifty cents. It will ALL add up and it is a win win situation cause you are clearing out items that u no longer use to go to new homes and making room for the bunches of stuff u will go home with.
In addition, the NMSS will get all the money from the sale.
Magazines, idea books and anything that is still in pretty good shape. You know what I am talking about here. help make some room and some loot for the team.

HHHHHHHUUUUUGE reminder: bring address lables so save yourself from writing your name on all the raffles u will purchase. AND for those of you who have scrapped in the Plantation room and those who have not, plain and simple, it gets kinda dark in there. So, I strongly rec. your packing your OTT lite and any and all xtension cords that u might have.

I think that is it for now. Remember, there will be snacks and drinks provided. feel free to bring something to share and if you KNOW that there is one specific flavor of chips u eat, or one brand of soda u drink, PLEASE feel free to bring your own. There is a Publix right in front of the hotel and a CVS just in case you can't scrap w/o a certain item that I might not have.

Comin down to the wire. Get your teams formed and get ready to have a most AMAZING Race of a weekend. U never know, you just might bump into a certain travel gnome........hmmmm.

As many of you start packing this weekend and organizing your scrap crap, please remember that we are going to have a yard sale area in the vendor room. Anything and everything scrappy related that you can no longer use, please feel free to bring with and price if you would like..........
All money raised at the table will be donated to the MS Society and since you are going to go home with so many new goodies, you might as well get rid of some of the old :)

Counting down the days. I am going to post the menu here as well.
Friday dinner: Homemade chili, rice and cornbread
Saturday lunch: Broc. Cheddar soup, French onion and Garden Veggie soup, caesar salad, classic salad and greek salad from Panera with baguette rolls
Dinner Saturday will be rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw.
Lunch on Sunday will be chips and sandwiches from Panera. **PLEASE note** you MUST see me to fill out your sandwich order sticker BEFORE lunch on Saturday. You will have a choice of Turkey, Chicken Salad, Roast Beef or Veggie sandwiches and YOU will be writing your name and meal choice on a sticker to make Panera's ordering and count easier for them and to ensure that you get the sandwich that you want.

Keep up on the blog too as I am adding stuff daily.
Jax

check it off the list

I am one to make lists just for the good ole satisfaction of crossing things off as I accomplish them.
Those that know me well, have observed me adding things to the list just so I can cross them off. I don't know when this all started. John and his ENTIRE family make fun of my lists non-stop, but I am one of the most organized busy people that I know and sssh, don't tell a sole, but it is all about my lists.

So, I am beyond happy to tell you how many things that I have been able to cross of my lists in the last couple of days:
shirts ordered, bags ordered, food completely ordered-whew, big relief with that stresser
candy bags being loaded by kelsey, baseball team of 30 coming to help set up tables on friday and U HAUL on W. Hillsborough Avenue has generously given me an unbelievable deal to schlep all of the "stuff" over to Sebring.

If you have any use for a UHAUL including storage etc, PLEASE contact them and ask for Todd. He is the manager and a heck of a guy.

Okay, lil man bugging me to death so must go play Mommy. Plus, Grey's is on.

Crossing another thing off my list-luvin on my lil blondie with TWO loose teeth.

one heck of a day

oy.
it has been a ROUGH ROUGH day.

Please send me some + vibes......
Thanks,
Jax

YEAH.
Scrappin Jax

Catch up Time

The summer is quickly slipping by and I can not even believe that it is July 11th already. 7-11. WOW.

I have been so happy to go to the mailbox every day. I can't usually say that especially during the summer months with no paycheck. However, the registrations are pouring in and we are beyond the half way mark of filling up. YEAH.

I am also receiving donations as well. Truthfully, they are not nearly as plentiful as in years passed, but that is kinda to be expected.

I need to get working on filling up some vendor spots. If you are a consultant for a home based business and would like to be a vendor or know someone who would, PLEASE have them contact me.

As always, Happy Scrappin and email me at tad64@verizon.net if ya need me.
Jax

BAAAAD Blogger

I am a bad blogger and for that I do appologize. Life at the Palatial Durning Estate has been NUTS for weeks now.
Sunday night/Monday early morning wayyy back on Memorial Day weekend, I was awakened to the sound of water at 3:30am. LONGGGGGGGG story short, we had a flood in the UPSTAIRS bathroom. Lovely. Water everywhere, in the ceiling, walls. NOT pretty.

We were very lucky that we were home and got it soaked up quickly. However, by noonish on Monday the ceiling in the kitchen wasn't lookin too good and I took it upon myself to call someone in to professionally DRY the place out.

We were literally out of our house for over four weeks and are just now getting everything put back together. The painting is not to my satisfaction, so the dining room is still full of all of our up top accessories(top of cabinets, plant shelves and wall unit), but after working our rear ends off the last two days, there is significant progress. YEAH.

We are very fortunate to have homeowners insurance, not sure how long til they drop us after this claim, but we are only out our deductible and thankfully didn't lose any personal property other than some towels and linens in our linen closet. If it had been the boy's bathroom upstairs, I don't even wanna think about it. That backs up to my walk in closet in my scraproom with alllllllllllll my albums, photos, OH NO that would NOT be good.

So the bottom line is that I have nearly 40 paid reservations for the crop so far and you can email me at tad64@verizon.net to get a registration form emailed to ya.

Hugs to all and enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Happy 4th Birthday

Many people would look at today as a horrid memory, however, I choose to look at it as a day to celebrate. No, not 'cause it is Cinco de Mayo, but rather because it is the day four years ago that I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

I would like to believe that in the last four years I have not only accepted what I read on that MRI report before any of the doctors, but that I have come to OWN it.

Even more, I would like to believe that I am MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I sure hope so and I thank you all for the support that you have shown me over the last four years and will hopefully continue to do so.

Happy Birthday Scrappin' Jax. As I have said more times than I can count, "there will always be someone worse off than me."

REGISTRATIONS

are coming in by the handful each day. I LUV logging them all in and donations as well.
YEAH.
I have 23 paid registrations thus far, so we are rolling along.

PLEASE remember that I am always looking for volunteers and at this time, esp. looking for vendors.

Thanks,
Jackie

Donation Number One

has been received. I am already getting xcited. How bout you?
I had three registrations handed to me yesterday AND several more arrive in the mail. I LUV the crop planning.
Hope you will spread the word to everyone that you want to be there.
Happy Sunday. Off to the beach.
Jax

REGISTRATION

I am having an "issue" with uploading the registration form to the blog at the moment. M iami Dawn is the GURU so, in the meantime, PLEASE email me at: tad64@verizon.net and I will attach it to your email and send it back to ya.

Also, there IS a block of rooms reserved at the Kenilworth Lodge under MS CROP, so you can already call them and get the special rates available for the event. I have a print out of the rooms available if you would like to know that I can provide it to you as well and their prices, but it is up to YOU to make your reservations.

Okay, now I am off for NSD.
Tootles,
Jackie

Happy NSD

Happy National Scrapbook Day!!
I am off to crop for a bit but before I did, I have been working on the FLYER for this year's event.

I am also working on securing donations, so if you have some to offer, PLEASE contact me. Also, if you would like to help secure some, LMK.
I would also LUV to talk to people about vendor opportunities.

Have a great weekend,
Scrappin' Jax

Courage
I have to tell you that I had such an amazing time yesterday at the Project 365 crop hosted this month by Valerie. First I will say what an amazingly gorgeous home she has. WOW. it was absolutely magnificent. Each room more beautiful than the one before. As she gave us the grand tour and I looked in each corner with all the gorgeous glass vases from her store, Val's Basket Warehouse, all I could think of was: Hmmm, wonder how long Joshy would take to break this, that and the other. LOL.
Someday I might be able to have things like that again.It was very nice to meet new 365-ers and Val's sil too. We had a large group with plenty of room and all working on some project or other. We were all surprised when Jean came in and had her gs in tow with her. Drew has grown up so quickly and did a fabulous job of playing with Patches and becoming our group photographer without stepping too far back and into the pool(something I would assume he wouldn't have minded too much cept that he held Dee's Cannon Rebel in his hands).
When I was packing up to leave to give dh some fishing time, Carol arrived(she was suffering with a migrane yesterday so arrived late). We don't get to see Carol often enough so it was good to have her join the group, even if I didn't get to see her for very long.
I had left her a copy of a photo that I had taken at the walk ms event at the zoo a few weeks ago. Her girl scout troop volunteered and did a phenominal job of passing out the magnets to everyone who crossed the finish line at the walk.
I asked her if the girls enjoyed themselves and she responded with a resounding YES. "In fact, at their meeting this week, they were doing some more work on their badge and their discussion was about people who demonstate courage.
"She continued on with the fact that all the girls at the meeting said that I was someone who exemplified great courage.
Needless to say, I walked out of Valerie's home crying like a baby or should I say honestly, crying like a Tinsky. I could hear my father boo hooing in my ear like you can NOT imagine.

THANK YOU Carol and to your scouts for making me take a moment and be humbled. I do try to demonstate strength in adversity and I didn't realize just how much of an impact that I make on others.
So, I greatly appreciate the opportunity. As I sit hear crying once again, I will bow my head gracefully and KNOW in my heart that I DO touch others and that means more than I can put into words.Jax

Registration is open

Spread the word. I already have received 7 paid spots and I have two others who are coming-one won a FREE crop last year with Pirate Loot.

So, spread the word. We are going to have an amazing crop this year.
Nov. 13-15th. First 100 people will have the oppotunity to be a part of it. WOO HOO.

U heard/read it here FIRST

I can't believe it is April already. WOW, the walk ms event in Tpa is over and now it is time to begin working on my other full-time obsession. That's right ladies, the 4th Annual MS Crop 4 Hope planning process is ON.

I have a rough draft of the sign up sheet ready to go so I will post it. Please remember that it is a work in progress.

Always looking for volunteers so shoot me an email if you wish to help and lmk what committee or job you would like.

Also, looking for vendors once again. LMK if you are one or have a consultant for someone or a company that would like to participate this year.

Happy Spring Break week,
Jax

Surrender Yer Photos

Many of us in the Tpa Bay area have begun the Treasure Hunt around town. The theme is obviously pirates and some have been stopped wearing their MS Crop 4 Hope shirts from last year's event.

In case you are interested, I have a garage FULL of them in all colors, sizes and styles......women's tshirts are $15 and the baseball jersey's are $20.

Email me if you are interested,
Jax

It's National MS Awareness Week

If you are reading this then more than likely you have some connection to me or to Multiple Sclerosis, so, here is a reminder for you all:

It is NATIONAL MS AWARENESS WEEK and you CAN make a difference. In these tough economic times, I realize that every penny is precious. However, EVERY single dollar makes a differenct to the 400,000 + those of us living with this disease.

So, if you can make a difference with even a dollar THANK YOU. If you can wear an MS shirt, pin, hat, anything to become visible, THANK YOU. If you can wear the color ORANGE, THANK YOU.

And if you can volunteer to help at one of the upcoming ms walk events, contact me or your local chapter of the NMSS. We NEED your help and even just passing out t-shirts or making a few phone calls will HELP.

Much luv and grattitude,
Captain Jax

***ANNOUNCEMENT TIME***

I have received MANY emails asking about the next MS Crop 4 Hope and I am here to tell you:

The walk ms event at Lowry Park Zoo takes over the second six months of my life and it will take place March 28th. As soon as that ends, I begin FULL planning mode for the crop.

For now, please mark your calendars for November 13-15th of this year back at the Kenilworth Lodge in Sebring.
I will post registration information, prices, and themes after the walk.

Until then, stay tuned and line up your babysitters.

I am ALWAYS looking for those of you who are interested in helping and I MEAN that.

UPDATE

I KNOW that it has been FOREVER since I have posted on this blog.........did anyone even notice?

I came home from the MS Crop 4 Hope in November and swear that I walked into someone else's life. I will summarize by saying, the crop was wonderful and since that time my life has completely changed.

We are settling into our new "normal" and learning how to live with it all now.

Just letting you all know that everything is okay and we are moving forward.
