23 days to go and Prepping

Time is flying past, I cant believe its only 23 days to go... well actually in 23 days we will now be finishing up and  washing our hands in readiness for our well deserved glass of wine and plate of fish and chips, so really its only 22 days to go!

Today has been spent with Katherine and Beryl prepping some stuff for the big day... we had alot of fun today with just the three of us, so that fun has got to be multiplied several times over when the whole workshop are together!

You can tell from the photos that we had alot of inky fun trying out a few techniques  .... this was after the main job of cutting, punching and rounding 100 covers

Beryl's space after an hour

But she has messy hands!!

Katherine's space after 10 mins

But she has clean hands

and err..... Nicks space....

26 days to go...

and still people are being great!!

First of all Sparkles herself has made this beautiful wreath for the raffle

and then a lady who reads Docrafts but doesn't often post, emailed me and said would we like some stash to either use at the work shop or sell/raffle... would we?? of course we would! Her husband kindly drove her across town to drop it off today - a big lovely box full of lovely stash - Thank you Carol!

and then, off I go to pick DS up from school and another friend Mags -who has helped us in so many ways already_ gave me a HUGE box full of stuff, some of which we will be putting on Ebay and selling in aid of Macmillan, so you can all have a fair crack of the whip!

I'll let you know when it is on sale!

Pages are flooding in and I have spent the day copying/cropping and Cinching them.

Another WONDERFUL donation from a member of the Docrafts Forum - what a gorgeous load of stash THANK YOU Bluespero/Laura

Laura has said we can use it as we wish, most of it will be split up and used as raffle prizes, so get your tickets now! We have so many gorgeous prizes you have a big chance of winning!

One or two of the items will be used to make the Book covers on the day - this has the double advantage of saving us some expenses on products, plus the used items will be sold afterwards and all profits will go to add extra to the HugBinders final total.

Thanks again to Laura and thank you to everyone who has donated things and money to this worthwhile cause - however big or small your donation it is truly appreciated
