Sad Goodbye

Kim and Mark Nolt and their boys will be leaving on November 16th heading for their new home in Ohio. There will be a farewell gathering at Chris and Caroline Buck's this Friday at 6:30 (children are invited).

We will miss them greatly. Crop night will not be the same without Kim! While we are sad for ourselves, we are happy for them that they will be closer to family. Keep their travels and move in your prayers.

We will miss you!

A Request

One of our scrappers has asked us to pass along this request:

Josh Adkins, an 8 year old with terminal cancer would like to break the world's record of "most cards received". His address is 124 Edgewood, Stanford, KY 40484.

Thanks,
Lydia

Upcoming Retreat!

We want to give everyone a head’s up on the plans for our 1st scrapping retreat because things will be moving kind of fast. We are looking at The First Baptist Church Folly Beach House Retreat Center. The cost should be around $80 (with light breakfast, lunch and snacks included)

We will know for sure by Nov. 1st but we’re letting you know now because if we go this route, we will need to have half the cost by Nov. 15 and the final half by Dec. 15th so we want you to be able to start planning if you’d like to come. The projected date of our retreat is January 18-20.

We’re excited about this and will blog again with more details when everything is worked out. Don’t wait long to reserve your spot, because space is limited!

Here's an Idea...

We are thinking of occasionally posting tips or ideas. Some will be simple, some maybe a little more advanced. Here is a simple idea for your scrapbook page.


Use a unique pendant that you’ve scavenged at a discount store. Take the pendant or charm off of the necklace. This would be great for a ‘love letter’ page or a ‘first school dance’ page. Use two lengths of leftover ribbon that look good against the pendant. Place one length of ribbon across the top of the page horizontally, and cross that one with the other length vertically on the far left side. Taken from Scrapbook Tips for Beginners

October Scrap Night

We missed those of you that were unable to attend last Saturday. We were happy to welcome back Kelly Stroud, the originator of East Lake Scrap Night. We were also happy to have Wendy Frankle and her daughter Jessica join us.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts we will not be able to have scrap night in October. If you simply can't go the month without scrapping, remember that Susan has a crop every Friday night at the store. Go ahead and mark your calendar for November 17th. That will be our next scrap night. I will send out a reminder the week before. Hope to see everyone on November 17th.

Have a great week!

The 411

We had a great time Saturday night. Several of us spent some time making cards for the card ministry with our scraps. That was fun. Anytime you have some leftover scraps, just throw a card together. The Card Ministry is thrilled to recieve them.

Did you know that there is a scrapbooking division at the State Fair? There is! This is the third year it has been available, but you don't have much time left to enter. You can enter online for free until the end of August. You may enter one one-page layout per person but you do not have to have it ready until October. Kids can enter too! You can find all the information you need here.

We are looking into having a Scrappers Getaway Weekend, so keep a lookout for more information on that front.

Our next crop is September 22. See you there!
