Scrapbook Tours Stampin Up

Our Scrapbook Class had a great time touring the Stampin Up Company in Riverton.  It was amazing all of the creative things the imagination can come up with. Here are some samples.

All of the following articles are made of paper.

There was so much more than this.  Maybe you should tour this place yourself.

This is our tour guide, Amy.  She was a super guide.  There is so much that goes into running a business like this.  They are very efficient.  Amy also had everyone build their own greeting card.  It was a fun day.

Wild About Watermelon

Everyone thought they were going to just eat watermelon.  Oh no!  You have to play with it first.  The first contest was to see who was able to eat the watermelon the fastest.  The catch here, was not to eat or lose your seeds.  The seeds were needed for another contest.

Julie Abbot won lips down!

The next contest was to save the most seeds, (without sharing with someone else.  Because they needed to use them for the next event.)

Valerie Wells won the Best Seed Harvester.  I think she had 66 seeds.  Can you beat that one from eating two pieces of watermelon?

Walter Cummings was awarded the Best Levis out of the Jean pool.
Now stand back folks, seeds are going to go everywhere.  It's the seed spitting contest.

It was a tie SPLAT!  Valerie and Perry Reisher were able to spit 6 seeds into the spitoon.

If you weren't here, we invite you to join us.  We sure are having fun.

As you look at the photos, you can see that Bette Jean Young is a fun teacher.

It's really too bad that we couldn't do a scratch and sniff patch on this blog.  The aroma was wonderful.

Sara Ruth Thorpe 96th Birthday

Ruth was sitting quietly eating her lunch when out of the blue came a Knight in Shining Armor calling out her name.  The Knight kept calling out for his queen . . . Sara Ruth.

Happy 96th Birthday Sara Ruth. . . and many more!

Creative Hat Day

We have some very creative people.  They paraded their creations around the room.  Then we voted on first, second, and third places.  Afterward, everyone that participated received a prize.

Jim Olsen Won First Place - Mr. America

Kay Wallis won Second place - A very fashionable velvet hat.

Greg Gramse won Third place - He called himself Jaws.

A staff member, Virginia Shay surely was a delicious treat.
