What a busy week I had with craft! I had three meets this time on Tuesday, Wednesday and today. I had a busy couple of days at home to get my preparations done for these meets.
Tuesday was just a casual meet at the craft store and I started on a new project. This time I wanted to complete an album for one of my Aunties because she asked my parents for some photos of my kids. After I finish this one I hope to do another one for another Auntie who lives up north. Either of them don't barely have alot of photos of us, so it will be a great opportunity for them to have a keepsake of what their neice created.
Wednesday was a four hour workshop at the consultant's home. We just had to complete a simple layout with one or two photos and using some scrap papers. But I was alittle different I decided to use five photos of different sizes. It looks good!
Today's meet was more a fund raise event for sick kids which went for seven hours. CM has been involved with this fund raise event for three years now and it is now becoming an annual event at around this time of the year. I heard so far they have raised around $97K from three events. It might be abit of time before I hear how we will go this year.
Anyway I didn't win any prizes but I did have a good productive day on using some new tools they introduced. This month, CM has introduced a border punch system and four new punches. One of the tools looks very similar to a three hole punch and the other is smaller where you add the punch inside and press the handle down. This tool would suit people who suffer a medical condition to their hands. Both of these tools work together to make a neat border of your paper. Don't worry, I make an order of the system and three punches which I should received within a week or so. I thought I would do it now because I am not sure how long this product will be available to purchase.
Our event did included lunch at the tavern, which was situated upstairs. Most of us have been there before so we knew what to expect. When we all first arrived to the function room, we had to pick one dish from a choice of five dishes, served with their salad bar.....steak, chicken, pasta, fish and pork so it can be made and ready by 12:30pm. Take a guess what I picked?? There were about 35 of us ladies and we all had some kind of meat from that menu. No one complain! We all said it was great and believe me, you definiately get your money's value from this place. But unfortunately their drinks is a different story through.
Good news! I found out our camp scheduled for November is back on. But my consultant is only taking 15 ladies with her to sleep over at the venue for only two nights. At first I thought I couldn't go because of a bowling tournament that weekend but I have made prior arrangements for my daughters to make sure they get to that venue that weekend.
