Stamp a thon……..”The Day”

Published by Makeesha at 2:20 am under Chitchat with Keesh

Hey everyone,

 Well thanks to Monnie Moo, (which is my dear friend Monique….but we all call her that) I have some fun photos of the acutal Stamp a thon day. I know you have heard that it was heaps of fun, I think you will see from the pictures that I am not telling porkie’s (lies if you are not Australian, and have NO IDEA of what I am talking about)

Okay where do I begin…..hmm

This is the sign that I had at the road, so people knew where to come. As you can see it was a wet, and miserable day, but it did fine up later on.

Here is the table set up with everyone’s goodie bags and name badges. We also had a decorated donation tin, and some pink ribbons from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, that everyone could purchase.

Everyone also recieved one of these gift bags, which had note cards, Buttons, Sponges, Dimensionals, and ribbons in them.

They received these as a special bonus for coming on the day.

This is how that tables were all set up.

These are the silent Auction items that were kindly donated by Stampin’Up and myself. There were 3 different sizes parcels, and a Mystery prize too! Everyone had fun guessing that one,….which ended up being a whole box of Stampin’Write markers!

Here is Margaret, who was the lucky bidder to win the largest parcel.

After Lunch we did a quiz all about Stampin’Up….oh I had some doozy questions in there, but some of them did really well!!! Goes to show there are some very big Addicts out there….hehehe!

Here is Charmaine, who is so proud of her creation……I just have to mention that Charmaine was up till 2 :30am the morning before the Stamp a thon, because she couldn’t sleep from too much excitment about the Stamp a thon!!! I met Char at last years Stamp a thon, she loved it so much she just had to sign up as a demo!!!

This table with Pat, Odette, Trinette, and Marleen, I think had the most fun on the day. There was always giggles coming from their mouths, and they all sported BIG smiles!

And here is a great picture of Lousie and Vicki.

Last year, Louise was re-dianosed with Breast Cancer, which many of you know was very upsetting for all us SU demonstrators in the Stamparoos team. This is how the whole Stamp a thon venture started. One year on, after surgery, Chemo, and Radiation Lou, as you can see is looking FABULOUS!!! And with that gorgous smile that has never left her face during all of it. She still amazes me with her positive outlook, and calmness, and she is such an inspiration to me! It was soooooo good to have her their on the day!

And look what we found when we were cleaning up…….LOL!!!

So there you have the photos. It was such a fun day, and again I want to thank all the ladies that came along, and to my downline who helped make this day a success……..how successful??? Well so far we have raised $1483!!! Which is great!

 I have a few of the project packs that I am still selling, so that will raise the total some more too. If you want one, please let me know. Also Marie Ferguson,….if you read this, I have replied to your email a couple of times but it keeps bouncing back, so can you give me a call and I will get your pack organized for you. thanks,

Okay have to fly out the door for swimming lessons with the kids, but I have all the triplicates edited and ready to show you, so will get them up this afternoon.

Ciao,

    Yes Kim,
    We know how lucky we are to have Keesh right here and always willing to lend an ear, a shoulder or a stamp set! She is even more wonderful in the flesh, and more than deserving of last years Heart of Stampin’ Up! award.
    Way to go Keesha, you have definately helped us to stamp out breast cancer with this fabulous event and it’s proceeds going to research.
