SWAP-O-RAMA-RAMA

A month or so ago, I received an email from Lisa at Maked Crafts letting me know that Swap-O-Rama-Rama was looking for a new leader.

Of course, I said yes, because not only do I need to add to our "to do" list, but I also had to hold an event the same day that Rob is working on the Accolaids Gala. Nice! :P

Thank goodness I have a rockin team behind me!! After some careful planning, this years' SORR event will be a joint production between Got Craft? and the Vancouver Craft Mafia. So what is SORR? Visit our blogspot for full details.

Time: 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Heritage Hall - 3102 Main Street

Two Posts in One Day!

Two posts in one day! This may never happen again.. so better start reading!

lotus events just finished wrapping up the 3rd Annual Friends for Life Society's Volunteer Recognition Event. The event was held on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 at the Heritage Hall located by Main Street and E. 15th. This venue rocks! The staff there are so nice, polite and know exactly what they are doing! The prices are very reasonable and you can bring in your bar - which is super duper especially if the event is for a not for profit and they are not big drinkers! This venue is also wheel chair accessible and has a full kitchen including two fridges, convection oven and huge sink.

Anyways, this year, the theme was Western! We got an awesome photo booth from Houle Games and the kind folks at Squares Across the Border came out to show us some moves! Rob and I also found some cool horse soap on Etsy and asked the woman if she could make 10 soaps on a rope with horses on them to present to the top volunteers. All the food was kindly donated by Costco, Cobs Bread, Emelles Catering, Capers and Fountainhead Pub.
