Free Scrapbook/Craft Supplies

Sisters,

I am purging all my scrapbook and craft supplies and have a bunch I'd like to give away. I have some faux flower items, lots of paper and scrapbook embellishments. I also have 4 complete Becky Higgins "All About Me" scrapbook kits. Please call, email or post here if you are interested in stopping by and taking a peek at what I have. I won't be available until next week because of out-of-town company this weekend. I'll donate the box next Thursday so make sure you call before then! I'm in the ward directory or email at anmfrost (at) hotmail (dot) com

4th Annual Burns Halloween Carnival

I love this time of year. Not because by this time of year I am totally broke and only have spending to look forward to in the months to come. That's not why I love it.

I love the weather change and the fun and the food and the excitement that begins in October.

One of those things is our annual Burns Halloween Carnival. Food. Fun. Fright. Okay, not really fright, but whatever. This year we are going to do it Friday, October 21 from 4:30-whenever. (unless there is a trunk or treat...then we will do it the week before.) We are going to keep it at the Seville neighborhood park...off Keyenta and Irving, the same park as last year. 
Here's how it works.

You bring a dish of food and a Halloween game to share. Voila! Carnival. It has been a lot of fun in the past and have no doubt it will be again this year.

RSVP is necessary to keep things organized. It helps us avoid duplicated game and food. So please email me, stef.burns @ gmail.com if you are interested in attending and let me know what food and game you want to bring.

Let the rompus begin!!

Part time job

Hey ladies,
My hubby owns a dental practice and we are in need of someone to come in to clean the office on the weekends.  If you know of anyone with good housekeeping skills looking to make some extra money and commit to each weekend then please email me and we can discuss some of the details.  Thanks

Craft Day

Hi Ladies!

I've been wanting to do some crafts, and it's always more fun with friends!  On October 13th (around 7 or so) I'll be hosting a get together to get a few holiday crafts done.  If you'd like to do any of the crafts listed below, email me (debrarivardAThotmailDOTcom) and let me know so that I can get you more information on what exactly they will look like.  If there are enough people interested, I'm more than happy to get all of the supplies for us.  These crafts are all very inexpensive to do.  They shouldn't be more than $5-10 depending on the quantity you choose.

Halloween:  glitter or spray paint pumpkins, and vinyl on a plate (exs.: BOO, skull, bat, cat, etc.)

Thanksgiving:  "give thanks" vinyl on a charger

Christmas:  customizable clear ornaments (with paint and ribbon)

These are the things I'll be doing, but if you have some thing/s that you've been needing to work on feel free to bring them!

If anyone has more ideas, please share! :)

**And of course I'll have some goodies to snack on!**

Any interest in a sewing class?

Would anyone be interested in taking a sewing class taught by me? It's an idea I have been thinking about for a while now so I thought I would gauge interest ;) I would teach the classes at my house. I don't know what the fee would be but there would be one. You would be more than welcome to bring your kids. I can teach you sewing on a machine, hand sewing, knitting, doll making, or other general crafty things. If you are interested, give me a call or you can email me (karasamjack at gmail dot com).

Family pictures

I am trying to find a nice location to do a shoot for family pictures.  We either want something natural with nice elements (possibly even green or with a waterfall) or somewhere industrial with cool walls or railroad tracks.  If any of you know of good spots please pass it along.  I will be looking for the next week or two.  Thanks a bunch.

Does anyone know of someone who would be willing to help me? You can call me (in the ward directory) or email me (karasamjack at gmail dot com). Thanks a bunch!

A little random

I know this may be a little random, but I was talking to some ladies in the Mother's Room on Sunday and they were talking about going to Disneyland for Halloween.  I think they were from the VC ward, but I know they often read this blog too.  One of them wanted to go to Legoland and I found that Legoland is offering FREE Admission into Legoland, October 24th-30th, to all their LEGO-VIP Members!

To get the free admission you will need to have a printout of the Legoland Free Admission offer with you, your valid VIP Card & a photo ID. It appears that (2) VIP Members per household can take advantage of this offer, one time each during the days listed.

If you aren’t currently a LEGO-VIP Member, don’t worry! You can register now for your FREE LEGO-VIP Membership. Then just show them your welcome email for free admission during those dates if you VIP Card doesn’t arrive in time!

**Fine Print: Two (2) registered VIP Members per household only, with up to six (6) additional friends and family eligible for $10 off one-day admission when accompanied by a registered VIP Member. For more information about the FREE admission. 

SO, if you know who that was--sorry I didn't catch your name-- This is for you! :0)

Baby Co-Sleeper Bed

Hello Sisters! My baby is due in a about a month, and I am hoping to borrow a co-sleeper bed for the first couple of months (Oct - Dec) after he is born. Here is a pic of the type of contraption I am hoping to borrow. It is like a bassinet or pack-n-play except one edge is lower and sits flush with the parent's mattress, so you can easily pull the baby over to nurse and then put him back into his own bed without having to get up. I hear most of these co-sleeper beds are adjustable up to 30". I would also welcome any advice or suggestions regarding this type of sleeping arrangement :). Thanks ladies! Please email sbikhazi (at) gmail (dot) com.
