Scrappers have scrapped for
hours on end!
Reflections on Year Three
Volume 43, Issue 1
August 2011
There is a resource room!
Happy 3rd Birthday,
Scrap-n-Country!
As I look over the
progress made
toward goals during
2010 I am amazed.
Several things that
between now and what I only
dreamed about in 2008 have
actually come to fruition! I am very
pleasantly surprised. I’ve told
myself hundreds of times, “Do not
despise small beginnings for the
Lord rejoices to see the work
begin.” But it hadn’t occurred to
me that the small things would add
up to an accomplishment!
I truly feel blessed and am so
appreciative of YOU who read my
letters and enjoy scrapbooking
with me.
From the list of sixteen wishes
nd
written on SNC’s 2 birthday in
2010, half of them have come to
fruition.
SNC is now in a 1920s farm
home in Fairfield County. We can
see a corn field to the southwest
and horses to the south, a barn
and pastures to the north. AND we
are on a hill!
Friday, August 19, 2011
We have a network of PCs,
Epson wide format printers and
scanners and Epson paper
products as well as ink.
Scrappers have taken trips to
local scrapbook sstores as a direct
result of scrapping with SNC.
The front office is both the Ohio
and patriotic room!
The Goldfish Room and Red
Heart Room aren’t exactly named
for “farm things,” but they are
named and ready for guests!
Our first ad will be in the
ThisWeek Pickerington newspaper in
late July or early August 2011.
Our little Scrap-n-Country Store
has a permanent home and travels
to the offsite retreats.
In addition to the day dream’s list,
