Paper Arts A Thon is Well Underway!

With nearly half the spaces filled this event is well underway. Our commitee of four met last evening to go over what has been happening and to fine tune our plans.

1. We have decided to do a few 'Half Paper Arts A Thon' spaces for those who might find it difficult to stay the full 24 hours. We only have 4 spaces available and it will be first come first serve. (After the 4 your name will go on a waiting list). You will start at 10:00 am Saturday and go to 10:00 pm that evening. Your name will go in the draws that are during that time frame.

2. There are spaces for 40 full Paper Arts A Thon particpants and we are at the halfway mark for these.

3. All meals, snacks, drinks are included. Not to worry ladies, you will not leave this event, hungry or thirsty!

4. During the day we will have several Make 'N Take projects available for you to do. The materials for these projects will be donated and so we are asking that if you wish to do these Make 'N Takes you will make a donation toward them, with all proceeds going to the Arthritis Society.

5. Each particpant will receive a 'Goodie Bag' AND your name will be placed in, not a hat but a decorated Paint Can, for HOURLY Draws!

6. Several 'Raffles' will soon be under way. (As soon as we get our lottery numbers.) The draws for these items will take place on the 27th May before we leave the Fire Hall. Some of the items to be raffled are:

Stampin' Up! Goodie Basket- hodge podge hardware kit, set of stamps, Itty Bitty Book, 12x12 patterned paper, 12x12 cardstock, etc. Valued at $150.+

'Color Challenge Book' by Karen-an ATC album decorated and with many SCS colr challenges in side (I will post a link to this later)

'Paper Tole Print' by Pam- her prints are AWESOME!!!

These are a few of the raffle items and more will be added as details come in.

7. At the Paper Arts A Thon there will be several OTHER raffle baskets available for you to purchase tickets on. These tickets will only be available to the 44 particpants.

8. IMPORTANT: These are the things you will NEED to bring! A rested body! A willingness to HAVE the BEST TIME with your FRIENDS! Supplies to work on the projects of your choice- don't forget glue, adhesives!! You will want to bring 'change' to participate in the Make N Takes and the Raffles.

9. Oh my! I have left the Best information to the last! You will each have ONE TABLE measuring 30 inches by 6 feet to do your paper art of choice!
