Crop For Kids

We all had an amazing time at Crop For Kids. They raised about $7000. I can't wait for the next one. Just thought I would share the goodies I won on the day and also three of the four layouts I completed (one is for SC so can't share).

I won two Sissey kits on the day. I was so amazed that I won two raffles. woo hoo so much fun and so many awesome goodies were donated to be raffled on the day.

My altered canvas I donated went for about $35 or $40 in the silent auction. I hope the lady that won it loves it as much as I did.


This is a layout about Leah and her love for her baby born. This photo is seven years old. Where has the time gone. Papers and velvet ribbon are all Heidi Grace. I inked the chipboard and covered it in dimensional magic.
A layout for the childhood album. Tony and I playing on the beach. We rarely went to the beach so it was a real treat. Love how we are having so much fun. Dad has caught tony (on slide) jumping midair. Not the best view of me. Would be nice if my butt was still that small lol

Kady and Leah and a friend playing on the trampoline. Jason put a little bit of water and soap suds on the trampoline and the girls played for about an hour. A great way of cooling off during the drought. Heidi Grace papers.

Crop For Kids,Good Friday Appeal

It was great catching up with Coby, Sarah and Jude. Sorry if I miss out anyone. The aim of the crop was to raise $10 000 for the Royal Children's Hospital for the Good Friday Appeal.

We had the BEST day ever. I managed to nearly finish four pages (a feat I can tell you as I am so slow). Will take a pic tomorrow of the layouts.

I just want to say, Wendy, Dunk, Sarah and Lyn, you all did the best job. Wendy, your man is one in a million although I think my J would be up there with him. I am looking forward to going back next year. I bought home so many goodies. A great set of alphabet stamps from the trash and treasure for $8, a lucky dip of goodies (cost me $10) but worth heaps more, and to win two raffles (virtually one after the other) was unbelievable. I chose two Sissey monthly kits valued at $140.

Paula and I were happy to see our creations auctioned off in the silent auction. Paula did the most awesome frame that went for $40 odd dollars but worth so much more, my canvas went for $35. It was a pleasure to be a part of something so worthy. The Royal Children's have cared for both my girls so many times when they were little.

Paula thanks so much for driving and being the most wonderful friend. I got home at 7.40pm (left at 7.15am) and J had cooked dinner, Erica, I am so glad you came along (after the horrible week you have had). It was such a great day. I feel like I scrapped more than I have done in ages. Very therapeutic for me. So nice to have a me, girly day.

Paula, Lyn, Me, Erica and Wendy. POS girls.
The fabulous committe posing with Jonathon Creek from Today Tonight. These girls and guy (Dunk is hiding behind Jonathon) did a fab job with organising this event in such a short time span.
Dodgy pic taken with my mobile phone from way over the back when they were filming. On the live telecast our table was on the edge of the filming. They didn't pan our side of the hall.
Great cause. I can see how much work went into making this happen. So many fab businesses and individuals donating goodies to help make it an awesome day. THE BEST CROP I have ever been too.

Crop For Kids

Have you bought your tickets yet. It's not too late. Only six sleeps to go. All for a great cause.


Here is my contribution to the auction to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital.
I hope whoever wins it loves it as much as I do. I had so much fun creating this.
I am so happy with how it turned out. I stained the sides of the canvas with walnut ink, used some petaloo flowers, velvet ribbon and a little bling in the centre of the flowers.
The quote reads
A Mother laughs our laughter,
sheds our tears,
returns our love, fears our fears.
She lives our joys, cares our cares,
And all our hopes and dreams she shares.
