Bunches and bunches of Goodies!

Hi Everyone!  Well, the basket wrapping gals have been busy...and this is only the beginning!

 Look at the awesome job they've done preparing some of our opporunity baskets!

cute, cute, cute...
These gals really put their hearts into wrapping these baskets!  Thanks girls!













But, wait...there is more!  This is only the beginning- Woo Hoo! There will be an awesome basket donated by Trader Joe's, one from Massage Envy Spas, and well, I just can't tell everything now then, can I?

The committee and volunteers met last night, and I'll tell ya...this is going to be a great event! 

Have you been over to Ever After lately and seen the  precious Make-n-take they're providing?

Well, if you haven't, take a quick sneek-peak...
 These have to be about the cutest little trinket boxes I've seen in a long time
                                           and they are also included in the price of the event. 
Perfect wrapping for a gift card...huh?
It looks like a precious little jewely box for a special little gift maybe? 













We saw the T-shirts last night, and I love, love, love the colors of pink and blue in the design and the cutest little canvas totes are being provided by EA too...how cool is that?  We'll just bling everything up for you if you like~  Bling, bling baby!

Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone an update as to how the celebration plans were coming along.

So, you like to craft?

Take a look at these cute items we'll be making at the event. Some for the PRC moms, some for their babies and some for you too!  

 This adorable blanket is made from fleece material and has crochet applied around the edges.  I just met up with Tina who is going to be teaching this at the event. 
These precious CD albums are just as cute on the inside as they are on the outside.

 And the tiles...oh my gosh ! These are some of the home decor make-n-take items that will be available for you to have as your very own.
Once you learn how to do these, you can make them up as gifts. Virginia and Sue will teaching this and I know the class will be fantastic!

Jim's coming back to teach the looming again, and Marleen will be here for the crochet lessons. 

If you haven't sent your registration form in yet, do it soon so you won't miss out.  You can reach us at

Details and Location...Oh so exciting !

Hi everyone!  We are just so very excited to share this information...The location for this year's event will be held at...(and the drum roll please)...1958 Hacienda Drive, Vista, CA.  If you came to last year's event, you know exactly where it is.....it's right next door to Ever After Scrapbooks.  How perfect is that? We have over 9,000 square feet of room to craft, play, dance and eat......Woo Hoo!!

    Come celebrate life - March 17, 2012
    9am - 9pm

Come learn how to knit on a loom, crochet, tile stamp or you can help us assemble baby announcements, sock dolls, photo albums and other cute little items for the center.  If you want to just work on your own craft for the day, like painting, knitting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, quilting...what ever it is, you can certainly do that too!  The day is yours to do what ever you want to.  You could even get that project completed you've been trying to find time at home to work on...OH WOW!!  How about that?

The cost for the entire day is only $60 and it includes all meals and snacks, a free home decor make-n-take, an Event T-shirt, give aways, lots of goodies and the opportunity to take home a lovely gift basket.

You can click on the link above and register securely online, or if you prefer a paper registration, send us an email at craftingforlife@yahoo.com   We'll be happy to put one in the mail to you, or you can stop by   Ever After Scrapbooks at 1954 Hacienda Drive, Vista, CA and register there. 

The Pregnancy Resource Center is of course always in need of new baby items for their "Earn while you Learn" program, so if you would like to bring in an item or two with you for their "Baby Boutique", that would be such a blessing to the mommies who are anxiously awaiting their new bundle of joy.

Do you have a baby bottle you've been filling up with change from last year's event?  Oh my, please, don't forget to bring that too! Oh, I know, how about for every baby bottle you bring in filled with donations, you'll receive 5 extra door prize tickets?   Oh, I like that idea!!!! Or maybe more?  Could be....

Online registration will begin this weekend...JANUARY 23rd and will run through MARCH 11th...so don't wait to long and lose your seat. 

Stay tuned for more postings and pictures...I can't wait to see what's going to happen next!
