Announcing -- A Round Robin Stamp Class to benefit
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

What:
Make 10 unique greeting cards

When:
Saturday June 18th

Where: Captured Moments
2088 Curry Road, Rotterdam, NY

Cost:
$25

My talented friend, Annette, is offering an incredible card-making class to
raise $1500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, to walk a half marathon in Lake Placid on June 12.

If you just a couple of free hours in your summer schedule, I highly recommend it. You'll leave with 10 finished cards and the satisfaction of having donated to a great cause. There are even refreshments and raffle prizes -- I have donated sets of handmade greeting cards and an original painting to the raffle.

Here are the details...
In a Round Robin, crafters move from station to station to find a sample card, simple instructions, and supplies needed to make 10 individual projects. It’s anticipated that you will need 2 – 2 ½ hours to complete the cards depending on speed and the number of other crafters.

Participants should bring scissors and adhesive (tape runner, glue stick or double stick tape).

New and experienced stampers welcome! Raffles and light refreshments included.

Reserve your spot by emailing Annette Holleger at jetsfan88@aol.com or calling 860-8970. Thanks for your support.

Thank you to Captured Moments for donating the use of the space and to Stampassion for preparing two beautiful cards and donating the supplies for those cards.

Not every dog is as lucky as Max...

Some need people like Bernie to help them find a good home, and people like us to help them do what they do.

Hi blog readers. Today, I added a button at the right to donate to A Place to Bark, a no-kill animal shelter in Tennessee run by artist Bernie Berlin. She rescues dogs and cats from certain death, brings them back to health and then finds good homes for them. This donation challenge is awarding the charity with the most individual donations at the end of January, with an additional $50,000, which would enable Bernie to do so much more for her rescue operation. The winner is not the person with the highest total donations, but the one with the highest number of unique individual donors, so three individual $10 donations from different people is better than one $50 donation. Please help. And if you enjoy a good cry now and then, visit her blog and look into the eyes of the recipients!
