CROP 4 the CURE 2009

We raised $2000 to help the American Cancer Society find a cure for cancer!
The 2009 Crop 4 the Cure was held on April 18 at the Canal Winchester High School. We had 54 ladies in attendance, who enjoyed 9 hours of scapbooking! It is always a lot of hard work to make this happen but it is always worth it when I see everyone having such a good time and so giving to a good cause!

This crop is to benefit the 4HOPE Relay For Life team (the national fundraiser for the American Cancer Society) and pictured above (the one not scrapping) is one of my team mates. She helped me in so many ways! I am very thankful to have such a wonderful person to help me during this chaotic day!

The raffle table! So many awesome prizes to give away every hour!

The FOOD! A free lunch is included with the registration fee. This year it was soup and salad, much of which was donated by Super Suppers of Canal Winchester! Thanks Connie!

This is the Scrapbookers Haven display. Carla does such cool lazer die cuts and it is always a popular place for the scrappers to shop!

This is Hillari Corey and myself in front of our Uppercase Living display. She is a wonderful "up line" and I look forward to working with her with my new business! Let me know if you want to book a party or become an awesome distributor like Hillari and me!

My friends who came all the way from North Canton (my home town). They had a great girls weekend away and I am glad they came to scrap!

Silent Auction items! This was a great year for the silent auction. I am really grateful to all the vendors who donated the merchandise for this auction. I think all the scrappers like to have some fun by bidding again and again. Plus knowing it all goes to the American Cancer Society makes everyone bid high! Do you see the big tote in the middle of the table (brown and pink)? It is a Livy Marie and is worth $42. Well, the bids kept going all the way to $72!!!!! I was in shock and very grateful to the winner for donating so much!

My two good friends that came all the way from Michigan to spend the day scrapping! They were a tremendous help in setting up and tearing down as well. Behind them is another terrific friend who lends a big hand! I am so grateful to all the wonderful friends God has blessed me with and I really appreciate their help in raising the much needed funds to find a cure!

It is not too late to help donate to this great cause! Remember every dollar helps us get one step closer to finding a cure! Go to www.relayforlife.org/canalwinchester to find out more information about the event and to join my team, 4HOPE. You can also make a donation from there as well!
