This is the mock check that we had made. It is 2ft x 4ft and turned out incredible in my opinion!!
A few pictures from today’s event…..
If you ladies have not yet sent me the pictures that you took at the crop please do so as I would like to upload *ALL* to a web album that way everyone can see them and save what they want. I will post the link to the web album here on the blog in the next couple of days.
Our next crop will be Jan 7th, 8th & 9th 2011. The registration form is completed and I will be sending it out next week.
THANK YOU again for your support!! We couldn't have done this without each and everyone of you!!
Well ladies, I am still spinning from this weekend as you can all imagine. I know that I am starting to sound a bit like a broken record but I have to say thank you once again to each and every one of you. If it were not for you, my dream would not have become a reality!
Most of you have probably already heard that the next two “Cause for the PAWS” events have been scheduled.
I have made the executive decision to keep the number of registrants to 50 therefore the idea of having 2 crops a year was born.
The dates are . . .
January 7th, 8th & 9th 2011
November 4th, 5th & 6th 2011
Both will be held at the Kenilworth Lodge again. All the details will be sent out, but for now there are a lot of details to be handled to wrap up our first event.
Stay posted as I promised, I will be posting a complete detailed accounting of all monies and also a video of us presenting Lost Angels Animal Rescue with a check.
Well ladies, only 5 more days and we will be scrapping till our hearts are content!! Unlimited scrapping (you can scrap all night long should you desire)
I have added the rest of the pictures for Val’s class. This “Radical Teen” chipboard album is a must have! I’m actually going make this album all about my teenager furry child “Leyna” (to see the rest of the album, just scroll down to classes being offered)
Some things you might want to put on your packing list . . .
1. Sweater or jacket as this room tends to run chilly in my opinion.
2. Fan, if you happen to fall on the other side of the thermostat.
3. Light
4. Extension cord and or power strip (please mark with your name)
5. Cushion or pillow for your tush.
6. **Drinking container with a LID**
7. Address labels for raffle tickets (eliminates writers cramp).
8. **CASH** to purchase raffle tickets.
As you know, all of the funds raised this weekend are for Lost Angels Animal Rescue and medical care is at an all time high. Whatever amount we raise this weekend will help them immensely! Knowing that another huge part of their expense is food, we thought that it would be fun for all of you to participate in helping feed them as well. So here’s the deal, go to your local Petsmart or Petco and either buy a gift certificate or purchase a quality brand dog food and we will give you a raffle ticket for every dollar spent!! (Be sure to keep your receipt)
There will be an Expression Cricut for you to use, you will just need to bring your own mat and cartridges.
Flower Power is officially sold out! If you are interested in the other classes please do not hesitate to sign up right away. I don’t want any of you to miss out.

"Better to light a candle for one lost animal
than to curse the darkness of man's indifference.
Saving just one animal won't change the world
but it surely will change the world for that one animal.
Without us they have no voice.
REMEMBER PLEASE, Deep inside the heart and soul
of every unwanted, neglected and abused animal
is the ultimate desire to be loved!"

If you treat the animals with cruelty, meanness,neglect and abuse and see this as your "right", how must you treat those around you...they can reason - they can think - some can even talk - but they can ALL suffer.. A.Lawrence
This is something you have all heard me preach about and I can only hope that the majority of you will take this serious as we are literally killing our pets with food!! My pets treats are one nibblet of their regular food. And believe me they are just as happy as when I was rewarding them with biscuits (very high in calories I might add)! What humans cannot seem to get is that for your pet, it is not the actual reward itself but rather the fact that you are happy with their behavior.
Chubby canines can be cute, but being overweight is bad for a dog's health too. Dr. Ernie Ward, author of the new book "Chow Hounds" visited Good Day with some tips on keeping your dog at a healthy weight.
Dr. Ward will be signing copies of his book on Thursday, April 8, at the Barnes & Noble at 11802 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. The signing starts at 7 p.m. For more information, call Barnes & Noble at (813) 962-6446.
As our event gets closer & closer the sponsors are starting to add up!
{First}SVG Cuts donated two $25 gift certificates! If you own a Cricut then you probably know all about the program SCAL (sure-cuts-a lot) which cuts SVG files. SVG Cuts is a company that sells the cutest svg files to cut on your Cricut. NO cartridges needed!!! I'm not one to purchase the cartridges, so this company is just what I needed ; } {Second} Received a *HUGE* box from Fiskars yesterday full of all kinds of cutting tools. I ***LOVE*** my Fiskars scissors and have them throughout my house!
