Get Down with Scrapbooking: Fun Times!

We had so much fun at the charity crop this weekend!

Here is Anisa with her sister-in-law Shelly.

Angie definitely accomplished the most, finishing the most layouts of the three of us.

Me (Cami) and my mom, Cindy

The food and people involved were amazing.

Anisa taught a class on making an acrylic mini-album that brought in more money for the foundation. She did an awesome job designing it and putting all the supplies together.
We took a group photo too late in the game. Many had already left and I was sad we didn't have the benefit of natural lighting. Here we are anyway...

We left already looking forward to next year!!!

Get Down with Scrapbooking: Before the Crop

What: Get Down with Scrapbooking, a crop with procedes going to the Utah Down-Syndrome Foundation
When: January 22nd and 23rd 2010
Where: Jefferson Place Club House Sandy, UT
Why: to help the Utah Down Syndrom Foundation in a small way in support those families affected by Down Syndrome by raising funds while having FUN

Get Down with Scrapbooking was started by Marlene Kinikini with her husband's support to give back to the Foundation that had so helped their family. (BTW, Marlene is Angie's cousin)

Anisa, Angie and I asked to help out for this year's event. What a priviledge and joy it was for us to be part of this.

The set-up:

Let the FUN begin!!!

Angie, Anisa and I are off tonight for the early-bird beginning of Get Down with Scrapbooking charity crop. The crop benefits the Utah Down Syndrome Fountation and we're excited to be part of this. If you have a desire to donate to this great cause, email us and we'll tell you how to best do it.
Look here next week for pictures of all the fun we had AND look at our little side-blog Twiddle-Scraps to see the layouts we made (I'm also hoping that we can post the scrapbook layouts of other participants).

On a side note, one of my personal favorite blogs is up for a weblog award. Go here (and scroll right) to vote for How About Orange! (and any other blogs you love)

Attention: Crafters!

We at Twiddle-Thumbs get to be part of a great event happening in January called "Get Down with Scrapbooking." Its an annual crop that benefits the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation. Not only is it a great way to crop the night away, but there are endless chances to give to this wonderful charity. Registration for the event (January 22nd-23rd) will open very soon.

(that's Anisa and me on the far right)

In the mean time, we wanted to give you crafters, our readers, out there the opportunity to donate something fun and wonderful to the event. Whatever you make, what ever you do, can be used as a silent auction or raffle item to bring more money to the UDSF. If you are interested in donating a hand-crafted item, email us at twiddlethumbs@rocketmail.com and we'll give you the information you need to do so. You'll also receive a bit of advertising for your Etsy shop or business. All the proceeds go to the Foundation.

(just some of the amazing and fun prizes from last year)

Thanks for reading through this and for reading our blog!
