Scrapbooking

HI Everyone,

I have really gotten in to Scrapbooking this past year and am on a 3 month cycle to have Creative Memories parties at my house. A couple other sisters have also started doing it so we seem to have a Scrapbooking party every month. Not that I am complaining mind you as I am having a blast doing this stuff. In fact I am having a party on December 15th. The problem is with parties every month not a lot of my chapter sisters or friends need to order any items.

Normally I wouldn't care about that but I am trying to get a lot of party credit so that I can order some stuff for the chapter so we can create a new scrapbook. This is where you come in I was wondering if anyone would like to place an order for anything from Creative Memories - I'm pretty sure my consultant will ship the items free of charge to you.

The reason I want to try to get a lot of credit to order stuff for the chapter is that our Archon's, Luzmaria, car was stolen 2 weeks ago (during initiation no less) from the school parking lot. Inside of it was last years and this years Chapter Excellence Binder as well as our Chapter Scrapbook and supplies to continue making them. Because I am a founder of the chapter I have a lot of pictures from the beginning and I can have reprints made of the pictures but it's going to cost a ton of money. Due to that I won't be able to spend extra money to try to get supplies so we can make a new scrapbook. If I can get a lot of credit I want to be able to order as much as possible so we can get started on a new scrapbook history of the Iota Gamma chapter.

If you would like to help out you can go to my Creative Memories Consultant's website at Lola Finkelstein Creative Memories She has an option to place an order through her website. Please be sure to let her know that you are placing an order so that it is credited to Carolyn's party on Decemeber 15th. Also, if you can pm me to let me know you ordered so I can let Lola know as well to make sure I get the credit. If you can pass this along to all your sisters and friends I would appreciate it and I know the Chapter will love it if I can surprise them with the stuff I am able to get with my credit. For the Iota Gamma sisters on GC don't breathe a word to the sisters please. I don't want to disappoint them and hopefully will be able to surprise them with lots of stuff to get our scrapbook going again.

For those who aren't familiar with Creative Memories just so you know they have a sheet of Greek Letter stickers that are great to use not only for Scrapbooking but on displays as well.

Thanks for your help with this,
Carolyn

Ah poor Luz!!!!

And that sucks for you guys too! Your binder won chapter excellence at LTS! stupid car jackers!!!!

I know this might not happen....but maybe her car will turn up...with the stuff inside. I'll cross my fingers for ya!!

I'll tell my chapter about your party. The only problem is we are having a scrapbook party at our chapter meeting this thursday! but I know a lot of our alum love to scrapbook and most of them can't make the meeting...so maybe they might be in some need of some scrapbook supplies.

Does creative memories have a fundraising option like tupperware or something? maybe you all can do something like that.

Good luck!

We keep hoping Luz's car will show up but nothing yet. I feel bad for her because all her school books were in it. She isn't worried about that so much as the fact that all her personal Phi Sigma Sigma stuff was in the car so she's lost everything she's collected over the past 3 years. And she keeps saying she let down the chapter because chapter things were stolen. I keep telling her that we can replace all of it, I'm just happy she wasn't near the car so she wasn't hurt.

I don't think Creative Memories does anything fundraiser like the other homebased shows do. Bummer. If you can email the Alum the link to Lola, my consultants, website maybe they can order from there and just let her know that it's for Carolyns party on the 15th. any and all help is appreciated.

Heather, are you guys doing a scrapbook party like this where the guest pay the $10 fee and they have a page done or is it something the chapter is doing informally and everyone is bringing their own supplies in. I'm curious because I'd love to see this happen at an informal meeting.

This will be our third scrapbook party that I can think of at an informal meeting; this one is being hosted by a new sister. we also have done a purse party too! These creative memory parties are more of buying supplies and getting more sisters into scrapbooking. You can bring in your own stuff and work on it there but no one really works on their scrapbooks just because we have the rest of the meeting going on. The lady just passes things out and she will demo a page for all of us.

We have crop parties also, where you pay money and they supply you with everything for a page. But those are done at sisters' homes. Less crazy that way.

its a fun idea to bring to an informal meeting. If your chapter is into it, I say go for it!
