Thank you!

Saturday was such an awesome day, we hope everyone who attended had as much fun as we did! We sincerely want to thank each participant, those who placed bids during the silent auction, generous souls who donated items to be auctioned, the vendors who donated door prizes, Sherwood Oaks Christian Church for the spacious room and the many restaurants that provided food. What a fun way to raise funds for such a worthy cause!

Some highlights of our day were...

The First Annual Altered Bra Contest
Our winner, Lori Clendenning,educated us on "What kind of bees make milk? Boo-bees! Ha!" Lori won a weekend at Bear Scrap Retreat.



This bra had both stars and moon that lit up!


A bra to lift up a friend currently facing breast cancer...



To see the rest of the altered bras, please scroll down to the Slide photo show in the previous post. Thanks to all who entered!

We had good times with friends...



And we were especially thankful for the breast cancer survivors who joined us!


Again, a big THANK YOU to all who made the Crop for the Cure a huge success!

Show us your bra!

Show us your bra... your "altered bra" that is!

During this year's Crop for the Cure, we will be having an altered bra contest. The winner will receive a Scrapbook Retreat weekend! Here's how it works. Use a bra of any size, shape, color, new or used and decorate/embellish it with whatever you can think of-- flowers, beads, staples, chipboard, sewing, stamping, etc. Bring it on a hanger with you to the crop. We promise we won't ask you to model it! :-) Each cropper will cast one vote for their favorite bra. Here is a fun example we saw at the Melissa Frances booth at the CHA Summer show in Chicago. (You may be aware Melissa is a breast cancer survivor and one of her beautiful product lines has a breast cancer survivor theme.) We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Don't forget to stop by between now and the Crop for the Cure on November 8. We'll be posting more photos of the great prizes generously donated by many of our vendors.
