I have spoken to several wonderful ladies this week and it looks like the vendors are signing on...woo hoo.

Please check the listing on the left of the blog. If there are ** before the name of the company, they will be on-hand at the crop as vendors.

I still have plenty of room for more, so if you know of someone who represents a home-based business or the like, please share the info with them.

We will have 100 or more people there so this might be a fantastic opportunity for them.

Happy Labor Day to all,

Crop Dates

So many people have emailed and said they don't know the dates for the MS Crop 4 Hope this year.

Mark your calendars:
Friday, November 13th - Sunday, November 15th.

Get those registrations in.

47 spots are paid for and several more are spoken for. Iluv this time when people are frantically checking calendars, calling in babysitting favors and heck, JUST BOOK IT. don't forget to call the hotel and reserve a good room on the ms crop block that are on hold.

the excitment is building.
YEAH.

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.

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

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
