3D ITEM DONATIONS FOR ACME COMMUNITY ANGELS
I am wondering if any of you ladies are willing to donate a 3D item to our Acme Community Angels organization. We would like to have a Christmas Store at our Christmas Party to allow young children to purchase small gifts for their family at a minimal cost. The money raised will go to a local charity who helps families in need during the holidays. I will have a box at the event if you wish to help us out. Anything would be greatly appreciate. Just a note to let you know what we are about: The Acme Community Angels is an organization started in 2006. Our goal is to make Acme a safe and caring community. We feel the first way to feel safe is to know your neighbors. So in order for you to meet those neighbors in an easy laid back environment we plan community events every few months.
If you have any questions please pm me.
CinS (Cindy)

Ta Da ..... Here it is.... finally the details for the Secret Challenge Swap.
This swap is for full cards (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") made of quality cardstock NVR. Each person will do the total number of cards as participants.
The swap has five elements that you must meet to particpate. They are:
1. Model your card after the attached sketch.
2. Use earthy colours (eg SU Earth Elements) - SU is not required.
3. The theme of the card is "Hope" - what brings you hope? where do you find hope in your life?
4. Ribbon of any kind is your embellishment.
5. You must use at least two layers.
We wanted to inspire you to step out of your normal box. To try something different, to meet a new challenge. We also wanted to see what inspires you all and what brings you hope. We all need hope in our lives for whatever reasons, this is an opportunity to share that hope with others and hopefully find a little hope from others.
Any questions, please let me know by PM or in the forum.
This swap is now closed - Participants please make 11 cards total - you will get one of your own back.
1. Christine (toobusystamping)
2. Diana (dianaq)
3. Robin (laderme)
4. Judy (RestlessSmiles)
5. Ruth (LilyLouise)
6. Alice (Alice Kruisenga)
7. Margaret Drewniak ( )
8. Cindy (CinS)
9. Regina (rstampcollection)
10. Adelee (adelee)
11. AnneMarie (riemomof2)
Please NOTE I had some technical difficulties with changing this post - If you wanted to be in the Secret Challenge swap and you are not listed here, please let me know and I will re-add you. Thanks... and my apologies.

Sounds like fun! I'm definitely interested but need to check when my two sisters are here from the UK. One of them will have gone home by that weeknd as she has a longstanding weekend engagement already planned but my other sister may still be here! I should have all those arrangements for their trip with me sorted in the next two weeks so I'll get back to you.

The hotel is in a great location near the airport, a short drive from the QEII Highway and near one of Calgary’s major malls (Sunridge Mall) and many restaurants. The hotel also has a restaurant that has great food at reasonable prices.
Please feel free to PM any one of us with any and all questions that you may have. We look forward to seeing you in the fall!
Just reread what I was asking and have worked it out! Sorry!
Ruth, I'm with you, on ALL 4. Scrap, stamp, chat and chocolate. I'll have to think of which order I like them in best. Honestly, it really is a hard decision.

WHOOHOOO! I'm excited you all are coming ... spread the word ... bring your friends ... this is going to be a riot.
Adelee and Christine are gonna try to keep the swaps and wish raks up to date as I'll have VERY LIMITED SCS (or internet for that matter) Access over the summer. We're really pumped about this event though!

So my room at the hotel is booked. Just so you all know - I tried the 1-800 number first, and they said I had to call the hotel direct to use the event code.
Innisfail Indulgance - I like it! Now to work in the small town, big event spin and we're good to go.
Hi everyone -- I'm home! YEAH --- you're coming! Here are the people I just updated; Lisa -saints, Regina--r stamp collection, Rosana, Robin - laderme, Carrie - guiding girl (I only know that I'm related to Penner's in MB and one family in AB, however, there could be more)
Peggy, I hope it works out with school. Lily_Louise I hope you can make it, too.

Thank you for this info, according to my contact at the hotel -- the 1 800 # should be able to give you the event code, too. Sorry, that you ran into trouble. I will try to see what I can do on Monday. If more people run into this, I'll just take the number off the first post. I do appreciate the feedback.
Adelee, Just a question. With 24 hour access to the room, how will it be secured to other's. Just a thought.
All taken care of, my friend. The ballroom that we are using only has one access door that locks when closed. I will have the key for us, when we leave. The hotel has 24 hour security for the room, as well as, men in uniform (yep, police) that check up three times a day. Our scrap stuff should be mighty safe. Our group will have access to the room, through hotel staff or me. So, no-one else will be allowed into the space during the three days. We even have our own washrooms right outside the room.
The room is less than 50 feet from the door, with no stairs so you can just roll your stuff on it...... I hope this helps.
With regards to the swaps, does it have to be current SU stamps or can it be anything?
They can be anything. We are not limiting to SU. The caveat I would put on that is quality paper, and embellishments is all. Stamps are stamps as far as I am concerned.
