SCRAPPINK THANKS

.
A huge thank you to all of those who participated in Scrappink. Through the raffles, crops and make-and-takes sold we raised over $1800 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. That is an awesome amount to raise for a worthy cause.
.
The following were the raffle ticket winners drawn on Sunday:
Slice machine basket: Susan Carlo & Nicole Detres
Bo Bunny filled tote: Mary Jo Sikorski & Midge Macko
(Mary Jo's name was actually picked for both Bo Bunny totes. She
graciously accepted a Cricut cartridge as a substitute so someone else could also win a tote!)
.
Once again thanks to all who participated. I hope everyone had a good time. I'm already starting plans for next year!!!!!
