Walk From Obesity - Greenville

I'm glad things have gone so well.  That's a lot of surgery for one person to have in such a short time!  I would like to make a scrapbook of  my WLS journey.  Maybe sometime you could post some tips for scrapbooking?  I assume that is what luv2scrap means...  If that's not good, what are some good resources to learn? Take care. Ellen

I have a scrapbook that I have started.  I actually just got back from showing it to Jenny Williams, who is the psychologist that did my eval.  I had told her about it and she asked me to stop by and show it to her.  She loved it and wanted some pictures to show other clients.  I'll be happy to send you copies by email.  I got all the stuff from Michaels.  Do you scrap? 

I want to learn how.  My first attempt was laughable...   I just want something I can look at and show people about where I am and how far I've come.  There's a scrapbooking store in Winterville that has classes, but I just don't have time right now for something like that.  Is it hard to learn to do?

No, it's not hard.  I have not taken any classes.  i tape and watch  a Scrapbooking show on TLC and have learned a lot on my own.  I just finished a huge book on a 20 day trip to Europe I took in 2004.  i got stared scrapping when my son was graduating from high school in 1997, very crude compared to what I do now...  I'd be happy to help you !  I have LOTS of equipment and stuff.

Hi Ellen,  OK I have printed out the info.  I will register on line tomorrow. (payday) hahahaha  I also printed out the pledge form.  I am gonna walk.  I don't know how far I can make it, but I will walk.  I want to be on your team Ellen.  When I take pledges, do I take the $ now?  I am so excited. 

You can email the pledge page from our teams site after you register.  Or you can print out paper ones.  The printout form says on it that checks may be brought to the event that day or they may be mailed.  The address to mail them is on the form.  So if the people want you to bring them that day, they'll need to be collected ahead of time.  I have sent emails to those that I think will probably contribute, they can do that online with a credit card and it never has to pass through my grubby little hands... Thanks for joining my team.  The link is right on the page, it's "Passwater".  I didn't know I needed to write "Team" in front of it when I registered, I'll remember that next time. Take care. Ellen

Ok, I will do it  first thing in the morning.  I told my supervisor and another co-worker about the walk.  Both of them want to sponsor me.  I am so excited.  (doesn't take much) hahahaha.  Thank you for sharing this Ellen.
