August Crop has come & gone

Well, the August edition of the SISF crop has come & gone, and MUCH fun was had. Everyone commented on how we all outdid ourselves on the food that we brought - there was definitely some good eating going on!! "You Are My Sunshine" was the prize theme, and all the prizes were summery & yellow. Many secret sisters had gifts show up, including a few more that appeared in the ladies restroom (mmm, what does that say about us??). Scrap Bingo happened again, including our own version of yelling "BINGO", which some were more enthusiastic than others!! And our own Stephanie provided a wonderful make & take (a water bottle that had it's own pocket tag where you could add a flavor packet; perfect for giving to someone special) showing off some of the latest colors & stamps from Stampin Up. Also mentioned was the success of the St. Louis Road Trip, as well as the collection of donations for our troops in July, which resulted in 10 packages being mailed. All in all, I would say that there was a lot more than just scrappin going on in August!
