What....that's not enough? Anything left over after expenses will be donated. I will split it between Splitcoast and Imagine A Child's Capacity.

My younger son, Zack, has autism and receives occupational therapy from this group. If you'd like more information, please PM me and I will provide you a weblink.

Lottery - create one fabulous, hand-stamped item and you'll go home with one!
Anything else?
Stamping is always better with chocolate. And other munchies too. If you'd like to bring a dish to pass, please let me know.
Now........just fill out the attached form and send it with your check made out to:
Tracy Filter

I guess there's not a limit....but don't go hog wild
Past lottery items have included altered paint cans with stamped goodies, stamped shirts, canvas bags, framed art, etc.
PM me if you have a ? about what item you're doing.

WooHoo! Melanie, you're jumping in with both feet. Even I haven't decided if I'm doing all the swaps.
Who am I kidding? I am. And I'll start them on March 2nd
I should probably start posting the attendees. I'll try and get that going tomorrow.

I had the day off today (it was "annual" day...you know...mammo, PAP, cholesterol check, etc...) and when I got home from the medical center I spent an HOUR going over all the Inspiration Sheets I have, looking for (yep--you guessed it!) inspiration for all the swaps for this event.
The SU! Inspiration Sheets are awesome...if you haven't looked at yours lately, go take a look.

I was just thinking the same thing myself. I have 3 workshops to prep in addition to Mad-City stuff. I keep getting the insp. sheets, but I really haven't used them much. Thanks for the tip Melanie!
