Blessed beyond measure!-Scrapbook Expo

When you make $1000 in the first 1/2 hour of being open, you know things are going well, when you raised the same amount you made the year before by the time the show opened you know things were going to be AWESOME!

"Blessed beyond measure" is the only way to describe the support we received at the Scrapbook Expo in Schaumburg, IL! In addition to collecting 5 boxes of supplies to fill shoeboxes with, we raised a whopping $3817.76!

Thank you to everyone that donated supplies, purchased raffle tickets and donated items to raffle off! I especially want to thank my fabulous team of volunteers for their help this weekend we couldn't have done it without YOU!!

Enjoy a few photos of our weekend
