Thank You to all who helped make our SCS Michigan MIngle extra special by donating time, and product.
Karen and Kristi - a special thank you for coming and bringing FUN projects (and give-aways)

You are much more appreciated than words can say!!!

Thank you to the businesses and Dirty Dozen members for their generosity and support for the MI Mingle. Everything was great!

Lauren M ~ I won your wonderful timeless template with coffee and biscotti! It's just beautiful, thanks so, so much to you and the dirty girls for sending over some goodies for us to fight over!

Oh, good! Glad you guys had such a great time, and I'm happy you like the sets! Verve and Flourishes make such amazing images -- I can't wait to see what you'll put together with 'em!

One more thing, since I've got a captive Michigan audience here! On Wednesday, My Favorite Things is releasing a set called 'Cuddle Up Carter' -- drawn and named for my sweet four year old son. Carter is a smart, adorable, and hilarious little guy, and the sunshine of my life. He also happens to have Cerebral Palsy. We go to the EuroPeds Clinic (www.europeds.org) in Pontiac, Michigan, a couple of times a year. It's a fabulous, non-profit intensive therapy program for kids with CP and other neuro-muscular conditions -- families from all over the world come to Michigan to attend the EuroPeds clinic. Anyway, $2.00 from every 'Cuddle Up Carter' set sold for the first six months will go to EuroPeds!

Okay, sorry to hi-jack y'alls thread, but I thought you Michigan folks might want to be in the know about a home-state organization benefitting from a sweet, sweet set! :)

Oh wow! I have goosebumps! My Jaclyn's secondary condition is CP.

I want to Thank all the of the organizations that donated product to our wonderful weekend.
Karen and Kristi from ArtDeclassified and Hanna Stamps thank you for your time and donations. I will be sharing the love soon when I place an order using a generous coupon.
Thank you Unity I am the proud winner of a new Unity stamp set. It is my first one and I am really excited.
