A “scrapbook crop” refers to a group of people who come together to work on their picture scrapbooks, sharing a common space and ideas at the same time.

Join us for 12 hours of fun and creativity!  Simply bring the projects you are working on and enjoy 4 feet of table space along with great conversation in a well-lit, drama-free space.  Don’t scrapbook, that’s ok, if you make cards, crochet, knit or some other type of craft you are welcome too.  100% of all proceeds from event fees go to the Auxiliary programs to help our Veterans, local Military and their families in need!

For just $30.00, we will provide lunch and dinner. There will be, Door prizes, a *scrapbooking class and a *card class (*additional fees apply).  You will even have a chance to win a prize or two.  Close To My Heart & Stampin’ Up consultants will be teaching the classes.

THE SIGN: A WAY TO SAY THANKS TO OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN

Jan 28, 2013

I received this in a forwarded message from a friend. He says that this "gesture" was started by someone in Seattle, Washington and that it is becoming a universal way to communicate our thanks to our servicemen and women when we see them in public.

It is a very simple, but very meaningful, and self-explanatory gesture. There is no mistaking what it means. If you have felt awkward, or shy about going up to our military members in uniform, this is a great way overcome your hesitation. You need not exchange words, just offer this universal gesture of thanks. It will be appreciated by those who have served and suffered on our behalf. You will feel good for having done it too. Try it next time you see one our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, or Marines in uniform. This is a simple, but very moving act.

Let's show our servicemen and women, through this simple gesture, that we appreciate the great service and the sacrifices they have endured on behalf of all of us.

Happy Scrappin', 

Janice
