I would love to come to something like this. I hope you can organize it. The Crop for the Cure sounds like fun too! Where will that be?

Me, too! The C4C that I am going to is in Evansville, IN. But they are fairly common. I don't know where you are, but there probably is one not too far. Sometimes they are whole weekends!

* I see you are in Atlanta, I'll see what I can find!

I LOVE THIS IDEA! This makes perfect sense to me now! I've not organized a day crop, but I have organized a scrapbook retreat. It's a lot of work, but SO MUCH FUN! I hope this goes well for you - let us know how things go!

Thanks! Sorry I confused you at first! The main thing that worries me is asking for donation and getting sponsors. I am really excited. Could you imagine? I would get to help a child and let another mommy see the sparkle and wonder I saw with Levi!

They are only $200. It wouldn't take much if everyone chipped in!

I am thinking of starting a group on FB, maybe eventually a blog, too. Anyone wanna tell me how to start a group on FB?

Oh, no, it was me - I just didn't understand. I'm sure this is gonna be GREAT! Don't be worried about asking for donations! If you are hosting this for MAW, they may even help you with that. They could possibly help draft a letter to send to possible donors. I'm sure that they'll work with you to make this as profitable as possible!

I totally think that stone idea is a GREAT one!

Go to groups, and there is something that says "start a group" - answer the questions and you're good to go!

No way! That is where I was born and raised.

Really? I was born at Deaconnes! Both of my children were born at St. Mary's, as was DH! We live in Stendal now, which is closer to Huntingburg.

Praying for your StepDad

Hang in there she sounds like a wonderful girl who has overcome a lot. I will say a prayer for her and you.

Hugs for you tooSounds like the ladies here have given you some good information.

When is the Sewing Expo? Details? Maybe we could plan a DisMeet for Atlanta?

March 11, 12, and 13 at the Gwinnett Center. We had a blast laast year. (and since I am a baaaaad mommy...I forgot to send in my DD9 entry in the kiddie 'fashion show' She is really going to be upset when she finds out. She was really looking forward to winning a prize for the dress she made my GD2)

We have a doll here we call "Betty". She was a Disney Park doll I bought and put away for Kirsta. I gave it to her when she turned 2. Betty isn't as big as a AG doll. Maybe 14 inches. Her body was made muslin. A few years ago, the muslin around the arm areas started to fray pretty bad. And I thought she was going to lose some joints. Plus she no longer had nice braids. She went for the Jamaician look, sporting dreads. I wanted to send her to the doll hospital for a new bod and new a new do. But Kirsta wouldn't go for it. So one day when she was out playing, I took poor Betty apart and used the old body as a pattern. Scrubbed Betty up nice and pretty and left her body parts in the sink while I sewed. Kirsta would never look there. Well, wouldn't you know, she came in the house and headed right for the sink. After she calmed down from and I was able to finish her up in DOUBLE the time because Kirsta was under my arm pit the whole time. She doesn't sport a new do, but we did sew a little heart on her chest. I was pretty happy with her. I never did anything like that. Of course it's been 2 years and I still have to hear about Betty and sink incident.

LOL TOOOOO Funny!

Many years ago I made cabbage patch type dolls. I made all my kids one. I had to wait to put the hair on my son's doll (I think my DS was about 2 at the time). All was fine, and he was having fun playing with a blad baby. When I took him to put his hair on...well lets just say I was lucky DFACS wasn't called! I don't think I ever heard him scream so much! I had to stop after just one string of hair....You know I never thought he would get so upset about seeing me put a needle in his dolls head! He kept the doll hidden from me for weeks! It took a lot of planning to get it from its hiding place and finished up without him knowing it!

I still get teased about cruelty to children! (just to give you a time line he is now 28!)

This post is a QUESTIONS post!

1. how big does a scrap need to be to keep it???? I am a scarpbooker and keep even the smallest paper - I can use iton a card!! But that may not work with fabric! lol

2. I signed up for the Big Give a month or so ago but was never approved. Do I sign up again? Who should I send a PM to?

Loving all of the wonderful customs posted lately!

Ok, I'm probably the wrong girl to ask, but I keep pretty much everything that's even 1x1 inch; because I know I might use it for applique. I keep all my little scraps in a clear over door shoe holder (thanks to a wonderful Disboutiquer giving me the idea). It works great!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Teresa could help with that.

I love that idea. I also noticed you can volunteer there while on vacation--I'll have to try that next time we go!

I was born at St Mary's too. I have no idea where Stendal is but isn't Huntingburg near Jasper? I was just up in Evansville for Christmas time. I usually go back twice a year to visit since all my family except me lives there still.
