| Help a military family and do a Leah Fung Make and Take! | |
On June 28th we will be hosting the Pierce Family Crop, sponsored by and taking place at Ever After Scrapbooks in Carlsbad. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A REGISTERED PARTICIPANT TO HELP! JOIN US FOR THE MAKE AND TAKE AND SILENT AUCTION. WE WILL BE ENDING THE AUCTIONS IN GROUP FROM 1 PM TILL 5PM. Gunne Sargent Troy Pierce USMC Ret. served his country and the US Marine Corps for 22 years with his lovely wife Jana always by his side. Upon his retirement from the Corps, Troy began experiencing severe symptoms of a digestive disorder. Eight agonizing months later, Troy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He immediately underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor and than began a long regime of chemotherapy and radiation. After two years of fighting pancreatic cancer, Troy passed away on April 7, 2008. We would like to help the Pierce family, especially Jana, with the costly medical expenses that she is now burdened with. Any contribution you can offer to help the family is graciously appreciated. Don't miss these special appearances... The fabulous Emily Falconbridge will be at the event with a very special painting demo from 10 to 11 She will be making a canvas that she will be donating for us to auction off! Leah Fung will be doing a make n' take from 2 to 3 for a small donation with Making Memories product. She is limited in the number of kits she has to stop by early and sign up!

It's not always about fundraising, sometimes it is just about giving of your self to make someone else's day a bit brighter!
A few of the SBR committee members met in the lobby of Scripps Encinitas Hospital to do a free handmade card make and take for anyone that wanted to do it. Here is Gloria showing a few people how to make a handmade card:
It was so much fun!! We were lucky to have donations from Kaiser Crafts, Quick Quotes, and Rusty Pickle on hand to offer the participants and let their creativity loose!
Make-n-take card-maker Tom will surely brighten someone's day with his gift of this handmade card he created at our make-n-take table:
Thank you to everyone who participated -- surely these handmade cards will bring a smile to someone's face soon!

Elena,
I just wanted you to know what a great time me and two friends had on Saturday. We visited all six stores and we had a great time. My favorite store of all was the bonus store, Auntie Amy's. They were wonderful!!! I'm sorry you didn't make it there on your road trip. It was well worth the drive. It was the first store we visited and everyone was SOOOOO friendly and helpful. They even had a second make and take that day that we participated in. Amy herself, helped me with my layout. She was awesome. Jennifer, one of the teachers there kept telling me that if I had any questions or wanted to know how something was done, she would be glad to help me. They were extremely knowledgeable about their products and projects. I wanted to stay there all day...
I hope that you continue to include this store in your fundraisers. I hope everyone who signs up gets to visit the store.

If you register for the event, you will receive one of these custom hand made felt bags to store your very own tote hook in. Did I mention, you will get a tote hook too??
Here are some members sewing the ribbon on the bags:
Here are Gloria, Elena, and Melanie hard at work blinging out the bags:
You'll have the whole month of June to visit 5 scrapbooking stores in the Murrieta/Temecula area of Riverside County. Each time you visit a store, you will receive a raffle ticket for every $10 you spend. You'll be entered into a raffle to win an AWESOME gift basket from EACH store--you could possibly win 5 baskets if your luck is right!
Plus you get a raffle ticket the first time you enter the store and one for doing the FREE make n take. After you've visited all the stores, you'll have a complete mini album! Also, at one of the stores you'll be surprised with your goody bag--this will have your tote hook, the adorable felt bag, and acrylic covers and chipboard pages for your mini book.
Oh, and did I mention FREE CROPPING PASSES!!?? Every store you visit will give you an incentive to you to come back to their store. It could be a coupon, a goody bag, and some stores are even giving passes to come back another day and crop for free! Can't beat that!
The book's acrylic covers are not decorated--the design of that is up to you! You'll have the whole month of July to design your cover and submit it for judging. Each store owner will pick their favorite and you will win a $50 gift certificate to that store!

...that Scrapbook Royalty is a 100% volunteer run organization?Our entire committee, including Founder Elena Etcheverry, are volunteers! None of us are paid for the work we do for Scrapbook Royalty whether it is web design, event planning, fundraising, seeking donations from manufacturers and stores to use as silent auction items, designing make n take for the events, running events, composing our email newsletters...we put in hours and hours of work for free to help benefit all of the different charities we help fundraise for. Some of us volunteer full-time to work on Scrapbook Royalty's events while others help as many hours as they can spare but no matter how much time we put in, we do it because we enjoy helping others.
...that Scrapbook Royalty raises money for OTHER charities?
Scrapbook Royalty has helped over 15 different nonprofits, and some more than once! Our main mission at Scrapbook Royalty is to help raise money and awareness for other charities, nonprofits, worthy causes. At each of our events we invite a representative from the charity we are helping to speak to our attendees about their charity and the work they do. Our goal is not only to raise money of the charity but also to spread the word about their work and their cause all over the world. This helps people who are interested in that cause to find out more about how to help and people who need services from the charity to find them as well.
...that you can host your own Scrapbook Royalty affiliate event?
Have a charity in mind or a worthy cause that you would like to help? We are ready to help you host a charity event in your area. Just contact Scrapbook Royalty's event organizers and we'll help you with your event! Or send an email to us at info@scrapbookroyalty.com. We have affiliate events going on all over the country, all the time. Let us help make your event spectacular!
...that if you want to volunteer Scrapbook Royalty wants your help?
Do you enjoy volunteering for "noble" causes? Scrapbook Royalty needs your help! If you're a charity minded individual who loves scrapbooking but loves helping others even more, or if you have a special talent you think might benefit Scrapbook Royalty's events, please contact us or email us at info@scrapbookroyalty.com. We are looking for volunteers to help at our events, coordinate local events in their area, or promote our crops in their neck of the woods. We couldn't do all the things we do if it weren't for our dedicated group of volunteers like you!
...that Scrapbook Royalty doesn't just raise money?
Besides helping over 15 different nonprofits, Scrapbook Royalty has also:
