Well we sure had a fun time yesterday at SCRAPPY HOLLOW for the BIGGEST MORNING TEA. Cancer Council fundraiser.
....I have just been to another one this morning here in the YARRA VALLEY...hosted by a lovely young mum Clare......who used to go to kinder with our Brian........at only 28 years of age and with a little baby girl.....Clare is fighting the battle of her young life...having been diagnosed with Breast Cancer in MARCH last year................she is now about to go through rigourous treatement once again..........
...........I caught up with Clare and her mum and dad and her beautifl baby girl this morning.............was an emotional morning........................but I wish Clare all the best in her battle....she has a very positive attitude and she has fabulous family support.................I just hope and pray she can beat this aweful disease.......................anyway...............here are some pics from yesterday.....all the participants had fun creating two projects....firstly this Favour Box
and secondly some fun cards...we gave the NEW Fiskars Everywhere Punch a good workout along with other Fiskars Tools.............Border Punches,squeeze Punches,Lever Punches,Scissors and Trimmers...............one lady was absolutely delighted when I showed her that her Fiskars Trimmer had a pull out ruler underneath it....................LOL! She hadn't realised it was under there.....
............and the Morning Tea was scrumptious................
......might not all have been real healthy......LOL! Oh what the heck.....it was yummy!!
We all had a fun time....and I got to catch up with my scrap buddy.....Carolyn who flew down from Alice Springs to attend.........................
We then headed out for some catch up time and shopping at Knox.......so nice to see and hug Carolyn after being apart for 6 months...............she and Jim have sold their home and are travelling Australia in a HUGE BUS.
Thanks must go to Heidi,Sam and Bec at SCRAPPPY HOLLOW and also to FISKARS for providing some fun giveways on the day.............................all participants got a little something!!
I'm hoping to HOST another CANCER COUNCIL event later in the year during OCTOBER......GIRLS DAY IN......shall post further details in a few months......................so if anyone is interested.........please email me
