Are you on Facebook – “LIKE” ScrapBlue – Crop for a Cure I’ve had several people asking about helping with the event, including set up, clean up, or day of. If you are interested, please let me know. I’m trying to find discounted hotel rates for you out of towners. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY THE BIG CHANGE – limited seating.

A seat cannot be held without payment. WAIT LIST – if you are placed on the wait list, you will be notified on August 1 of openings, then they will be filled first come, first PAID IN FULL. SURVEY – please respond. I’m looking at adding a few new features, such as classes and demos. What type would you be interested in? A few suggestions have been: Photography and editing, a complete album, a larger project but perhaps not being completed, mixed media – the biggest rage is paper crafting and crafts in general. If you wanted to learn a new project, technique, etc., how much time and money would you be willing to spend on this? Not interested, Up to 1 hour, 1 – 2 hours, 2 hours or more Depending on project - $10 - $20, $20 - $30, $30 - $50, over $50 Also, if you know of someone who is great at teaching a project, or yourself, let me know. I have attached a picture of a project which would include a completed album, a great instructor, and lots of extra supplies for you to take home. This would be $75 and take approximately 3 hours to complete. Your thoughts?????
