Nice Message from a Nice Person

Dear Ellen,

I attended your Friday night crop on xx/xx/08 and had a great time. For me it had been over a year since I had done any scrapbooking. It was fun as well as relaxing. I even had an opportunity to meet another scrapper whom I initially met in Bethel over a year ago...small world!

On March xx, I lost my best friend which was my "mom" and at first I was hesitant to come with so much on my mind but once I got there and chatted a little, I felt more relaxed. Please extend a big thanks to Maggie (she's a nut) for without her I would not have even gotten close to completing my 1st page. (LOL ). I did not have an idea in mind when I walked through your door, nor a paper cutter. She not only shared hers with me but more importantly made me feel as though I was welcomed and that she was there to lend a helping hand. I cannot begin to tell you how important that is in the world today of "non customer service". She is definitely on my top 5 list of "nice people" and I will always be grateful for her kindness.

Okay, enough of that mushy stuff...I just wanted to let you know that your place is great and I look forward to another event real soon.

Thanks,

Pattie

A Note From Laura

Always,

Laura

Handy Dandy Mini-Book

I had so many photos from Daniel's Blues Clues-themed 3rd birthday party that I decided to make a min-album rather than have a slew of pages in my chronological album - and I knew right away it had to be a Handy Dandy notebook.

I used the Zutter Clipboards for my covers (note to self, cut the holes before adding several layers of cardstock) and covered chipboard for the interior pages. I downloaded a Blues Clues coloring page of the Thinking Chair, printed it on red cardstock and cut it out for my cover. A red Zutter Bind-It-All coil and some stickers I'd been saving since 1999 completed my project.

There Was Cake!

Our Birthday Retreat was great! Liz and Rose got a head start on the festivities by moving in first thing Friday morning with a boatload of supplies. Dumbledore, of course, had to investigate the plethora of totes. Watch out Rose, he's got an eye on your pens!

Here's a note we got from Liz afterwards:

Ellen-just wanted to say thanks for a great crop, and awesome birthday gift! The food was great, as well as the snacks to keep us going. Had a great weekend- Tell Maggie thanks, she is so much fun! Liz
