October was quite the month of
Scrappy Ups and Funky Downs!
We kicked off the month with our annual HoHoHoedown Holiday Derby. This year the derby celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The Pit Crew kept us motivated with daily challenges, games and inspiration. The overall winner of the HoHoHoedown was none other than Christa
Parker! She received a wonderful box of Christmas goodies sponsored by Dora and ScrapWorks.
Diana Broeder won a little prize for her ability to
find all the layouts in a turkey montage and Linda
Carlson was the winner of the secret "Who gave the
most praise" during the derby. Our gallery was flooded with wonderful works of art.
Making us all feel like everyone is a winner!
During the Derby we also had
a special Cards for soldiers contest. Kristene
Boston made over 70 Christmas cards and turned them
into Brianne Nevill. Brianne is a military spouse
hosting the Cards for Soldiers project. If you would
like to be a contributor to this wonderful
organization check out their website
Cards for
Hero's.
This month’s bingo game finally
came to a conclusion Halloween night with me
winning! Thanks to everyone that plays! I can't wait
to see what scrappy goodies you all sent! Hope you
have your words in for next months bingo and your
loot of $3.00 or less sent to Lori. November is
preparing to start in a couple days!
It was also a month of reconnecting with loved ones; spending time with little ones we’ve missed (waving “Hi!” Jakey!), and continuing to chat off-line with our scrapstreet sisters
on particularly good drinking nights. Reminding us
all your just a phone call away.
Many of us are reading the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyers and anxiously awaiting the release of the feature film this month! We are planning a virtual moviegoer celebration by all viewing the movie on the same day! Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Organization and remodeling took a front seat this month. Bedrooms, sunrooms, porches and even scrap areas were not forgotten. Beautiful colors of paint, awesome trash to treasure projects, and unique “recycling” projects graced the pages of Life Lane!
It might not of been scrappy mojo, but it was Gertie
mojo, which is always good if scrappy mojo is stolen
by Christa who won the Derby. *giggle*
For some reason, this October was a month of feeling a funky kind of funk for several of us. And in traditional scrapstreet sister fashion, an anti-funk text train was started, assuring each of us that we were there for each other no matter what. And the train served as a reminder that new, fun, and exciting things are on the way.
November is starting off with all the festivities of Christmas.
Elmira Reindeer has returned with her two helpers, Bubba
Elf and Roxy Reindeer for the annual Secret Santa.
Both are already causing quite a commotion on the streets.
Bubba is making a splash or maybe it's making them
wanna dash with his invitation to his uhum
interesting choice of living arrangements. While
Roxy has us all wondering what uses can a ribbon
crimper be used for other than crimping?
And finally...
