It's A Record!

We set a record with 15 in attendance this past Saturday night! A special welcome to Rhonda, Joy, Pam, Nikki and Nikki's daughter and her friend. We enjoyed having each of them join us and hope they will come back again next month. Looking over our pages we can truly see how much God has blessed us. Christi Sheppard created the following page:

Wendy Frankle even brought her laptop and worked on some digital pages:

As always we had some great share time, lots of laughs, and created some awesome pages and cards. We even got to meet some terrific skateboarders. :) The food was great as always, especially Brenda's homemade, melt in your mouth pistachio cake. Can you say, YUM!

Our next crop is set for August 16th. I hope everyone will be able to make it even if you just stop by to chat. We miss you when you aren't there. :)

Have a great week!

Late Reminder

(I apoligize for not posting this sooner. We've had out of town company for a week and this just slipped right by me! Sorry! Angie)

Please plan to join us at East Lake Community Church this Saturday (June 21) for our monthly crop. We'll be there from 5:00 - 11:15. Bring a friend and a snack to share and join us for a great time.

Also, the card ministry is collecting hand made cards for anyone wishing to give a card or two. "Blank" cards have been donated if you wish to make some on Saturday for the card ministry. They have a specific need for baby cards right now.

Don't forget, if you plan to go on the retreat in October the first payment is due June 30th.

Hope to see everyone on Saturday.

FYI - Retreat?

Just a note to let you know that we are once again working to schedule a scrapping retreat. The target date is in October. We are trying to keep the cost below $100. Keep this in mind as you are planning your fall calendar and check back for more information.

We had a great time last Saturday, fellowshiping with friends and meeting new ones. Welcome to Lydia's sister, Angie! Those of you who were camping with girl scouts, out with the flu or otherwise engaged, we missed you! Hope to see everyone next month....
