It has brought aid to our community, it has brought customers to vendors, and it has brought people together from all walks of life to do the thing we love to do; create.<br />
<br />
I have met wonderful people, funny people, crazy people, and all of them were giving people. We have even seen some good people and vendors come and sadly go.<br />
We have been blessed by the many miles people have chosen to travel to brighten our event.<br />
<br />
Last year we set records we could not even have imagined in the eight years beforehand. And we know that some of the exciting moments we have had will be reproduced at other events, over time, but it will not be the same. There is an energy in the Go All Night weekend that will not be duplicated.<br />
<br />
The weekend was not created for glory, but for good. It was created from a mix of curiousity and eagerness. But all these years require time, energy, positivity and dedication.<br />
And every once in a while, every ship must change its course, if only for a brief time.<br />
<br />
It is at this time, I have decided we will not be hosting a Go All Night event in 2016. I'm not sure what the next year will hold, but there are presently other directions that this ship would like to travel.<br />
<br />
I thank you all for your support and hope to touch base again, if fate may see it so.<br />
You have no idea how fantastic this adventure has been for me. 😢<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<br />
It was filled with laughter, smiles, woohoos, and even a few tears of joy!<br />
<br />
An event like this is not over, even when it's over!<br />
We still have a few calculations to be done.<br />
Some paperwork and presentations.<br />
Then, of course, we round up some photos to share.<br />
<br />
So please bear with us, we can't wait to show you how amazing it was!<br />

What an achievement!<br />
<a href="http://www.theinkedstamper.blogspot.com/">www.theinkedstamper.BlogSpot.com</a><br />
<br /><br />
The Inked Stamper has been a solid supporter of the Go All Night Event for the past years, so its great to see Dawn welcome Monica to the team.<br />
<br /><br />
That being said, it was only two and a half years ago when Monica donned her first scrapbook scissors and apron, and joined us at Go All Night! This is proof that not every attendee is a scrapbooking veteran, but a willingness to try, and a love of the craft go a long way!<br />
<br /><br />
Congrats again Monica! We look forward to seeing what you create!<br />

<br />
Every year we try to come up with something new. We try to bring new ideas to the table for games, gifts, prizes, and of course, fundraising. One thing remains constant. The feeling we get when we all get together and make others happy. Take a look at these...<br />

A story of heart, soul and sponsorship.Another thank you goes out to Cindy Nielson, South Hill Designs Representative.<br />
<br />
During the course of our event preparation craziness, we misplaced a beautiful donation.<br />
The donation was that of an exclusive South Hill Designs locket, filled with charms and treasures of all things scrapbook-worthy.<br />
<br />
In the attempt to mend the error, we offered to pay Mrs. Neilson to replace the locket, she so generously donated. She would have no such thing.<br />
<br />
"<strong>My concern", she stated, "was that it was meant to raise funds." For Cindy, it was not about the money. That is what makes our sponsors so awesome!! They really are what makes our event so phenomenal!</strong><br />
<br />
Immediately following the weekend long event, we scoured the storage area where all of our donations had been housed, and lo and behold, there was the treasured gift!!<br />
<br />
We were elated to be able to host a successful follow up auction to all our attendees!!<br />
And so happy to be able to share the beauty of Cindy's product via social media.<br />
<br />
Check out her online shopping opportunity. Shipping is super fast! My own collection is growing quite nicely....<br />

The following is taken from the site of <a href="http://www.cropperhopper.com/">www.cropperhopper.com</a> and I just thought it was interesting!</h4>
<br />
<h1>
PREPARING FOR A CROP</h1>
<br /><br />
<div style="margin-right: 30px;">
Crops can be a wonderful chance for you to get caught up on pages, catch up with friends, and enjoy your hobby with other scrapbookers who understand your obsession. But planning ahead is very important to your success – it is a proven fact that the less you bring to a crop, the more you’ll actually get done. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:<br />
<a href="http://www.cropperhopper.com/thenewtote-allycooltote.aspx"><img border="0" src="http://www.cropperhopper.com/productimages/tote.jpg" /></a><b>1. Mission Statement:</b> A crop is a rare chunk of time to spend on yourself. How long will the crop last? What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to socialize? Do you want to set a goal for completed pages? Would you like to complete a mini-album? Do you want to try to master a new technique? Do you want to organize your photos? Knowing what you want to get out of it and how much time you’ll have to do it is crucial to your planning, and helps to avoid frustration at the end of the day if you don’t achieve what you set out to do. <br />
<b>2. Gather your Blueprints:</b> If you’re planning to get a certain number of pages done, having a blueprint for each page, whether a sketch, a rough drawing, or inspiration from a print ad or a layout you’d like to borrow, is an important step in the planning process. If these points of inspiration are in a book or magazine, consider copying them or cutting them out of the book so you can place it directly with your photos and papers. <br />
<b>3. Match Photos to the Blueprints: </b>3. Match Photos to the Blueprints: Once you have your sketches in mind, find photos that will coordinate with them. Then for each set of blueprint and photos, do the following steps: <br />
<ul>
<li><b>Journal:</b> You know from your sketches where the journaling will go and how big it should be, so now is the perfect time to write it. Once you have your papers together, you can print it out – that way, your pages will be completely finished at the crop! </li>
<li><b>Coordinate Papers with your Photos and Journaling:</b> Match the papers to the colors in your photos and the mood of your journaling. </li>
<li><b>Choose your embellishments:</b> Whether your title will be printed on paper, created with stickers, or some other type of embellishment, gather the supplies for that, and then think about your finishing touches and include those. You may want to bring more than one option so you can decide exactly how you like it when you have everything else in place. </li>
</ul>
4. <b>Place your supplies in a PageArranger â„¢ or Paper Envelope:</b> Store each set of blueprints, photos, papers, journaling and embellishments separately. Bring a few of these and your basic supplies & you can get pages done at the crop!! <br />
5. <b>Bring a Small Sticky-note Pad to the Crop:</b> If you forget to bring something for your page, or decide it needs just one more thing, you can write it on the sticky note and attach it to your page. Now you have a perfect reminder when you get home! <br />
<img border="0" src="http://www.cropperhopper.com/productimages/crop.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.cropperhopper.com/12x12expo.aspx"><img border="0" src="http://www.cropperhopper.com/productimages/CHEXPO.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 100px;" /></a>Packing for crops does not need to be a huge chore the day before you go – keep your supplies organized – that way, if you get a last minute invitation to a crop, you’ll be able to grab and go! You’ll have fun, get more done, and be proud of your accomplishments!</div>

When one of our co-ordinators, Gaye Carpenter, stumbled across this hot little number, I couldn't help but jump on board. I couldn't wait to ask Wendy all about "W Squared Scrapbooking"... here is what she shared:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shinnyobjects.blogspot.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Shiny Objects" border="0" src="http://wsquaredscrapbooking.com/images/lightbulb.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
"<span style="font-family: Calibri;">W2
Scrapbooking was created in need – I needed to have all the stuff readily
available!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being in Northeastern Alberta
there really was never much of an option for product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1998 – W2 Scrapbooking opened in the
basement of my home, taking up a small corner of our storage room (oh, how
times have changed).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2007, W2
Scrapbooking went high tech – online!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything about the site is kept simple to keep prices down – which
makes us all happy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I don’t have
the large overhead of a brick and mortar store and I work hard to always get
the best deal possible I am able to pass it on to you and therefore have very
competitive prices.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">W2
Scrapbooking has loads of different products and not always ‘all’ of a product
(line) as this is my way of forcing you to think 'outside the package'.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are so many products available it is
easy to be overwhelmed and scared off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Really there is no need to be – use what you have and don’t be afraid to
mix and match.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Color is color and
pattern is pattern – don’t be afraid to mix it up, layer it up, color it
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Show your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">own</i> creativity – remember, there is no <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">wrong</i> way to scrapbook.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If
you have a few spare hours, head over to the site (</span><a href="http://www.wsquaredscrapbooking.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.wsquaredscrapbooking.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)
and enjoy the nearly 5000 items available!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With Winter 2013 CHA over, new product will start arriving weekly
(sometimes even daily).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So be sure to
check the site often! If you have any questions on about the site or a product,
please be sure to send me an email.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
there are items you would like me to bring in, all you have to do is ask and I
will see what I can do for you.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then
be sure to check out the blog (</span><a href="http://shinnyobjects.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://shinnyobjects.blogspot.ca</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might ask – why Shiny Objects?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well first off the spelling mistake was my
error, not to mention that the actual name Shiny Objects was already
taken…bummer right?!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was determined to
have the blog called this as I am always getting sidetracked by all those shiny
objects on the internet. Have you ever seen that Disney Pixar movie UP, well I
would have to say I am the equivalent to the dog Dug – ‘squirrel’!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know most of you can relate - I am probably
one of the few that admits to it.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
look forward to seeing you around….."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wendy is contributing some great door prizes to our upcoming event. At the Go All Night Fundraiser, we guarantee that every registrant goes home with a door prize!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Can't beat that!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ciao!</span></div>

Here are the projects we will be offering at the Go All Night event in March. When you register, we will email it directly to your inbox.<br />
<br />
We have decided to offer 3 Classes, along with a Make'N'Take Bar. The class sizes are smaller for full instructional benefit, and we strive to keep the costs affordable. However, seating is also limited and are accounted for on a first paid, first served basis.The Bar is sponsored by local Stampin' Up rep, Tammy Predovic. <br />
<br />
There will also be an interactive demonstration of the Silhoette Cameo machine, by our "cutting machine extraordaire", returning for the fifth year in a row!<br />
<br />
There will be featured product demonstrations from EACH of our scrapbook vendors that attendees can take advantage of. We are all about a "hands-on" approach! Some will demonstrate tried and true techniques, and others will bring new products to WOW you!<br />
<br />
There is going to opportunity to learn so much! And if all else fails...and you choose to simply scrap away and be pampered....well, that's a whole "nother post!<br />
<br />
Ciao for now, <br />
