Busy, busy, busy!

ScrapPink class hosted at Scraptifity
It's been hectically busy these past few weeks, so much so that we haven't even managed to post the photos from our first ScrapPink class at Scraptifity - better late than never though. So here is some feedback from the class and soon we will be able to start telling you about more ScrapPink classes being hosted at other scrapbooking shops between now and November! All very exciting!

Thanks to Jowilna Nolte from Imagine Magazine who taught the class - and wow - what a project. I think I can safely say that every single person who attended, loved the class and the project PLUS 15% of the sales from the class have been donated to ScrapPink. We're raising funds for a great cause and every bit helps!

I was so happy to have breast cancer survivor, Erika, in the class. I gave her one huge BIG hug because she's been on a tough journey through chemo and everything else that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis. She and many other breast cancer survivors are the ones who have motivated me and inspired me to make ScrapPink happen. What amazing, amazing women you all are. Then there are those who have been through the journey, fought the battle and said goodbye to us.
Smiling because of Lella
I want to mention another dynamic, awesome woman, Lella Cullingworth, who after her breast cancer diagnosis, lived for many years. She made a real difference to many women's lives, wrote a book about her breast cancer journey, made people smile, made them cry and never complained about anything. Her strength and determination to make her life fulfilling and also help other patients was truly remarkable. Sadly Lella decided that her battle should come to an end. I won't ever forget Lella and my heart goes out to her hubby Brendan and their two boys. So Lella, ScrapPink is for you too, because you always made me smile.

HOPE makes some friends

HOPE joined us at the Your Family Creative Craft Show last weekend and together with our ScrapPink team, would like to say.....THANK YOU.... to everyone who supported us at our stand. HOPE got to make friends with a whole bunch of photogenic kids, like the two girls with their bunnies and some Scrap-a-holics! We raised R10,500 for PinkLink, our beneficiary, through our hamper raffle tickets. Raffle tickets are still up for grabs at only R20 per ticket. It contains a Canon Powershot camera and Selphy portable printer plus loads of scrapbooking products. It's a growing hamper. We'll add to the hamper every month and then give it away to some lucky winner on Saturday 8th November. Hamper raffle tickets can still be bought at Scraptifity.
We had the Canon Say Cheese guys taking photos of those people who visited our stand, printed in 55 seconds and then put into a cute paper frame! What fun!

Here's HOPE with ScrapPink Founder, Tanya Bennetts and new friends, bunnies and all! Plus here's HOPE with one of our loyal supporters and scrapbooking friends!
