I went camping this past weekend, had a great time. I collected 90 pairs of socks from the members of the TNT camping club. What a great giving group of friends I have. I know the socks will make a difference to the kids who wear them.
I still need to start my calendar so I'll be getting together with the girls soon. I read a saying in a magazine that I just loved. Shopping is definitely better than sex, because if you don't like what you get you can take it back and get something better!!

Merry Christmas! I want to let all my scrapping friends know about Scrapbook Royalty. I have been involved with Scrapbook Royalty since the very beginning several years ago. A friend of mine, Elena Etcheverry, came to me with an idea. Elena wanted to find a way to raise money for charities through scrapbooking. Out of our first meeting, Scrapbook Royalty was born. We created Charitable Crops for Causes. Twelve hour crops with free classes, free food, give aways, and a prize for the Queen of the Crop (the person who raised the most funds for the charity). So what makes SBR different from other fundraising organizations you ask? Why should I check them out? Scrapbook Royalty is completely volunteer run. All of the money raised goes to the Charity. No one takes a salary. It is truly amazing what a group of caring dedicated women can do when they put their minds to it. Just this past week Elena celebrated SBR becoming a non-profit organization. It took almost two years and tons of paperwork, but she did it!
Right now you can go on the website and enter the daily contest from now until Christmas. While there check out the upcoming Royal Slumber Party crop set for March 2009. Help raise money for charity by using the links on the site to do some shopping and seraching: goodshop.com and goodsearch.com. Better yet sign up for a crop and find out how much fun giving truly is!
Hoping to see you in March,
Patty
