Really? October 1st - already???

Well, October is here. And I want to tell EVERYONE about the Stamp Out Parkinson's event that I am sponsoring! This is near and dear to me - my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2007. We need to work to find a cure for this dibilitating disease. I am hoping to make this event an annual tradition, so am hoping for a fabulous response. You can click on the above flyer to see the details better, and I'd like each and everyone of you to join us for a fun filled day of paper crafting. We will have lots of room to spread out. The scrapbooking tables are 10 foot long, and I've already been taking reservations for scrappers. Call me to book your table NOW, you don't want to miss out!
Proceeds from this event will go to the American Parkinson's Disease Association (http://www.apda.com/) . They are a non-profit working to ease the burden and find a cure. I have been working with them to put this event on. Sam Erwin of the Iowa Chapter of the APDA will be stopping by to chat with you, and to give her support.
The week of the event, I have several specials planned on my blog, so be sure to stop often that week.
Until then, give me a call so that you can reserve your table. Besides, you don't want to miss all of the cool and uber trendy demonstrations we'll be doing that day!

FYI - I know that I missed My Digital Monday - sorry, my week blew up in my face! If it's any consolation, I did create the flyer above in MDS! And, exciting news - Stampin' Up! has just released a new website dedicated solely to MDS! Check it out - http://mydigitalstudio.net/ As if that weren't enough - they have a little contest going on now too - your chance to win $400 worth of MDS downloads! Holy smokes - that's a ton of digi embellies!!!! YEAH!!! Check out the info:
