LOTS OF GOOD THINGS, LOTS OF GOOD CAUSES

WOW - I have to say that there is NEVER a dull moment at Scrapping Turtle. This weekend was our Scrap Pink event and I believe that a good time was had by all. We had the support of some of our suppliers and customers to help create goodie bags that were FANTASTIC. Everyone went home with a great bag of stuff. As you know Scrap Pink is an International Event to aid in the fight against Breast Cancer. We were thrilled to join in this great cause.

Another cause that we are putting some support behind is KidsAbility. KidsAbility provides services to over 4,000 children with disabilities each year in Waterloo Region & Wellington County. The work they do is so valuable to so many, and like many programs their funding has been cut and they face a shortfall to provide this must needed service. We have decided to help out with a fundraiser on World Card Making Day - October 4, 2008. And what better way to help a good cause then to lock me up in a window till we meet our goal. Now I know that some people would be happy to just leave me there, but I am hoping the majority will see the fun and value in this event. Here are the details of how you can participate in this event - and get a jump start on your Christmas gifts or stock up on some cards.
