Fun & Simple Felt and BeautiControl Mobile Spa

I am excited for both of these vendors!!

I am thrilled to see what Fun & Simple Felt has. I am in love with felt right now and have SO many projects planned this year. Here is the link to their Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/funandsimplefelt?page=2 I love felt for how versatile it is. It is great in doing projects with kids, to decorating your house to making lovely accessories. And what a small word, as it turns out I am friends with Barbara's sister! This is one vendor I will NOT be missing!

The next one is Karen Doncovio with BeautiControl. She has a mobile spa that she comes and sets up!! Oh my gosh! Send the hubby off with the kids to the game zone and get pampered!!! They offer a great line of mineral based anti-aging cosmetics! I am drooling over that truffle manicure!!!

There are so many wonderful vendors....you will have to stop by see them all for yourself!!!!

Gold Canyon Candles & Create-a-Cuddle *Bronze Sponsor*

I am so excited to Athene Robben participating with Spring For A Cure. Not only has she become a Bronze level sponsor she brings with her 2 amazing companies.

First is Gold Canyon candles. I have so many fall memories with Gold Canyon burning in the background. We love candles in any shape and form it seems and I love the scents offered by Gold Canyon. I really like that they are a local business and I am supporting Arizona based company that offers a good quality product! I cant wait to see what new scents they have and smell some old familiar ones. Honestly, it has been about 2+ years since I have bought a Gold Canyon candle. Might be time to remedy that!!

I love this picture I found on the Gold Canyon website. These pictures just evoke so many smells in my mind!! Wow.......

Next she offers and adorable company called Create-A-Cuddle!!! Visit http://createacuddle.com/?page_id=62 and you will be amazed! I am in love with the cuddles "Joy" and "Light". Go here http://createacuddle.com/?page_id=26 to see all the cute outfits for your Create-A-Cuddle. I adore the fairy dress one and the tiger in the camo is just precious!

This is one vendor you will not want to miss. We have so many wonderful vendors this year. I am overwhelmed and humbled at all the amazing response we have received from our awesome vendors. We couldnt make this a success without the event attendees or our vendors and really appreciate vendors going the extra mile to become a sponsor!

Thanks Athene!! Cant wait to see you at Spring For A Cure!

Tupperware, April-May-June accessories

I am excited to have a Tupperware consultant at Spring For A Cure!! Who just doesn't love Tupperware. It is about all my mom used growing up. Nothing can take me back like a good piece of Tupperware! And I love that they are still around and going strong today!

Donna Heitkotter is our awesome consultant for the event. I am excited to see all the fun Tupperware items she will have. I must confess I don't have any Tupperware. I just might have to remedy that at Spring For A Cure!!!! I cant wait to meet Donna and thank her enough for helping recruit so many wonderful vendors!!

I love this set!!! I love purple and to bake......oh my!

Our next vendor is April with April-May-June Accessories. April offers the most adorable items such as popcan jewelry, tutus and so much more. Her tutus are so cute I wish I wasn't to old to wear one! But I might get a few strange looks! Ok I would get a LOT of strange looks!!! If you have or know a little girl these tutus are a must have!! I met April and she is a high energy, fun loving very crafty person. I am excited to see the energy she brings to the event!

This would be the one I would wear! I love purple and sparkles and this has both! ha ha

We have over 30 vendors signed up for Spring For A Cure!! I cant believe how fast it is coming. I am going to try my best to get caught up of vendor spotlights. I will be updating the list of vendors on the right hand sidebar though for sure.

We are excited to have Sun Valley Medical Group at Spring For A Cure. This year we are proud to have a RN with her naturalistic products and weight loss program and now Sun Valley Medical Group!!! I love it that you can come play games, enjoy good food, shop at our wonderful craft vendors and pick up some great medical information and help also!

The Beading Heart

Here is a very special lady after my own heart! A Beading Heart!!! I have been beading since I was 12!! Ann Marie also offers awesome beading parties for every occasion. She does a much better job of introducing herself. So without further delay, here is The Beading Heart!!!

    The Beading Heart

Beading Parties & Inspirational Jewelry Collection

I first began creating Inspirational Beaded Jewelry and other fun items in 2003 after becoming a foster parent.  I was very stressed out, and spent many nights beading until the wee hours of the morning.  I found that the time I spent playing with beads was such a relaxing and therapeutic part of my day.  As time went on, my little "hobby" turned into something so much more. . .Beading Parties for Children & Adults including Birthday Parties, Girls Night Out, Bachelorette Parties, Wedding Parties, Ladies Groups, Bible Study or Retreat Craft, etc.

The Benefits of using The Beading Heart Hosting your Children's Birthday Beading Party?

v Automatic entertainment for 2-1/2 to 3 hours!  We do all the work!

v Have the party at my house. . . we set up and clean up. Just come have fun!  You may bring a cake/refreshments and please provide all paper products.  You can come early to decorate for your party as well!

v No need to put together any goody bags for the party-goers.  Each child receives a goody bag with treats and a beautiful organza jewelry pouch for their masterpiece!  The Birthday Child receives a special treat!

v  Beading is fun for Grown-Ups too!  Stay and make your own special piece of wearable art from a gorgeous selection of sparkling glass, crystal and silver or gold plated beads and findings.

I also create handmade beaded Inspirational Jewelry.   Check out my website, (a work in progress!) at

www.thebeadingheartjewelry.com

Looking forward to seeing you at Spring For A Cure!

She also makes amazing "Celestial Creations". Make sure to check out that tab on her website http://www.hearttoheartnursing.com/. You can also check out pictures of her amazing journey on her website. Read below what she has to say;

Celeste Palacio, RN

Licensed Am I Hungry?® Facilitator

2011, Feeling GREAT and living a healthier life! I have ran a 5K and a 10K! I love to flamenco dance and walk with girlfriends most days of the week!

As a registered nurse working in a clinical setting, I help patients everyday to learn how to manage their weight and live an empowered life. When we look at food as a source of nutrition and fuel for our bodies we are less tempted to use it as a way to soothe our emotions. As an active member of the American Holistic Nursing Association, I recognize the importance of the mind, body, spirit connection. It has become my passion helping others to live a full and healthy life!

Welcome and we cant wait to see you at Spring For A Cure 2012!!!

Papa...Papa...Paparazzi

Who doesn't love jewelry and accessories?!! Even better who does love to get cute, trendy AND affordable jewelery and accessories? I am thrilled to have Paparazzi represented by Bethany Rudd. This will be the first year Paparazzi will be at Spring For A Cure!

With all these great vendors I need to start saving my money. I see new jewelry in my future! When we moved in January I lost most of my jewelry. Oh the tragedy, I only have about 2 pairs of earrings. What better way to restock and revamp my jewelry and accessories then when they are only $5!!!!

You can contact Bethany at bethany.paparazzi at gmail dot com for all your Paparazzi needs.

We are SO excited to have Bethany with Paparzzi on board for Spring For A Cure 2012.

Please welcome......Around Beads with Albina Manning!!!!

I am so excited to have Around Beads at Spring For A Cure. Albina's designs are wonderful!! She comes to us all the way from Russia. Visit her website http://www.around-beads.info/ to read all about her and to see her fabulous designs. She also offers classes. I have done beading for years but have never gotten into the wire beading she does. I have always thought it was beautiful.

You can click on the pictures below to be taken to her Etsy Shop.

I think one of my favorites is this awesome photo frame bracelet (and if you know Kyle you know he would die for the green!!!!)......

And I think these are so unique...They are just lovely with the pearls

We are so excited to have Albina aboard and cant wait to see her at Spring For A Cure. But dont wait until then. Feel free to check out her links above and get to know her, sign up for a class or pick up a lovely Christmas gift!!!

Vendor forms

I have been getting some questions about fees and forms, etc. So I thought I would do a quick post to hopefully answer those questions.

When are fees due? Fees are not due until January 1, 2012 due to CTF's fundraising calendar. You can send it in early but it does work best for me to turn it in after the first.

Can I turn in my vendor form with my fees? You can, however, by getting your vendor form in you reserve your spot. I will only sign up 1 vendor that are consultants for companies (Scentsy, Discovery Toys, Thirty-One, etc). I will allow several vendors who sell the same thing (jewelry, children items, tutus, etc). Once the limit is met no other vendors with those items will be signed up.

How do I get signed up/or know when I am scheduled for the vendor spotlight? You get in the line up by turning your vendor form in. As soon as I receive them I put you on the vendor list that is on the right side of the blog and that is the order I follow for the vendor spotlights. 

We are getting excited for all the amazing vendors we have been in contact with and cant wait to see how it all comes together. We have got some larger business coming and setting up booths and bringing their prize wheels or mascots. 


Please leave any questions in the comments or feel free to email me at springforacure at yaho dot com

Scentsy at Spring For A Cure!

We have a great line of products returning for 2012 but with a new consultant. Vicki Winkles is a great consultant for Scentsy, I had the pleasure of working with her in a professional setting at my last job and got to be friends with her. She is a joy. I am so excited to introduce her to our Spring For A Cure crowd......She loves Scentsy and when asked about Scentsy this is what she said;

Hi, I’m Vicki Winkles.  I am celebrating my 1^st anniversary selling Scentsy this month.  Scentsy is wonderful, safe option to real candles.  You have over 80 scents to choose from and instead of having an open flame – you have a beautiful, electric warmer.  There are 3 different sizes – plug in, mid size, and full size – with a large variety to choose from – something to match every style.  The warmers also work as night lights – safe for nurseries and the elderly who may love scents but may forget to blow out the candle.  The wax does not get warm enough to burn you and are safe in case an animal or child eats it in error.

Scentsy also has lovable stuffed animals that are great for nurseries and children love the smell of the animals as there is a scent pak of your choice inside each one. The scent paks and travel tins are great to add your favorite scent in your lingerie drawer, linen closet, or in that hotel you are visiting that does not smell to fresh.  You may find out more information at www.vwaz.scentsy.us.  Visit and see all of the wonderful design choices.  I hope to see you at Spring For a Cure!!!

Thanks Vicki!!! We cant wait to see you at Spring For A Cure and smell all of Scentsy fabulous scents!

Miche Bags is another new vendor!!!!

I am so excited to present Miche Bags at Spring For A Cure 2012!! I am in love with this concept. I hate dumping my purse out when I want to change it. And then trying to figure out what you want in the new one and if you are like me inevitably leaving something behind you really need. I cant wait to see what Miche has to offer us at Spring For A Cure.

Nancy is our consultant for the event and I have enjoyed trading emails with her, learning more about her and Miche. Below is what she has to say....

 

A Miche purse lets you change the look in seconds without having to swap out what’s inside; no more forgotten lipstick or credit cards.  By simply removing the outer shell and replacing it with another you can go from every day to elegant.  You can change the handles too!  Miche also carries wallets and a large selection of accessories.   Miche - think of the possibilities!

How does it work? A picture is worth a million words.....or something like that. ha ha How cute is that bag?!

 

 



Hope Project for Cancer Survivors. Love that it isn't the traditional awareness ribbon kid of thing!!


Check out Nancy's website at www.luvurpurse.net We cant wait to see Nancy and all of you at Spring For A Cure 2012!!!!

Gyros & More!!!!

We are thrilled to have Victoria Ruiz and her team with us for Spring For A Cure 2012. She will be offering delectable Gyros and a festival must have......Popcorn!!!! There will be so many choices to tantalize your taste buds....so come ready to have fun and fill up all while helping a good cause.

Thank you Victoria for participating and we look forward to having Gyros & More at Spring For A Cure for years to come!!!!

Welcome NEW vendors and we are so glad to have FUN vendors back from last year

I am excited for all the new vendors that are in the works for Spring For A Cure 2012 and the ones from last year! Last year I did vendor spotlights each week.
