Today's Crop for a Cure was both well attended and fabulously fun! We had a wonderful time crafting our arms off, shopping, winning prizes, eating, and of course, lots and lots of chatting!
This is Carol R. making her first papercrafting project ever! She came to sit and do her yarn work, and wound up getting totally hooked on the Make N Take. I'll have pictures of that later--forgot to take any today, wouldn't you know.
Kathy N had a lovely visit with her grandbaby. I got to hold this little sweetie, too! We both agreed there's nothing like a chubby baby in an adorable froggie-footed sleeper for warming up your hands on a chilly day.
Other daddies and kids came to visit during the day, too, including Jenny M's little girl, who had a great place to keep all her stickers. Isn't that just too funny? I'll have to send this photo to her mom to scrapbook.
Here is a rare picture of Kim R--rare because she's the organizer of this wonderful annual event, and you don't catch her sitting down pretty much the whole day! The JDRF crop is especially important to her, because both of her kids have juvenile diabetes. Thanks for another awesome event, Kim! I hope we raised a LOT of money for this great cause!
And here's a photo of the little gal who started it all--Amanda!
What a great way to spend a rainy, COLD Saturday. I didn't get a whole lot done myself, but I did get all caught up with friends I haven't been able to spend much time with lately, and that was priceless. I hope you'll make it a priority to take a little time out for yourself to get together with friends--maybe not even craft necessarily, but just spend some time purposefully connecting. Friendship is precious, a piece of yourself, your time, your life. Give that gift to a friend today!
I'd love to know more of the details behind your Crop for a Cure. No one in our family has juvenile diabetes, but a couple years ago my 8 yr. old daughter got involved in a local JDRF American Girl Fashion Show. Originally she was drawn to it because she is an American Girl-aholic, but she soon realized that the cause behind it was even more special to her. She has become quite the philanthropist, and is always looking for new ways to raise money to help find a cure. We'd love to put one of these on near us.
Thanks!
