Challenge Info For You Last Minute Ladies...


Hi there! Just take a look at this guy...he's a cutie, but even better is what he brings with him when he visits the YSC Duluth office...donations!!!! Notice the name on the box. We all screamed with delight when we saw it. (And, yes, he thinks we're totally crazy...for the screaming and for the picture taking!) But we couldn't be more excited for you to see what's in store for you next Saturday. That's right the Scrap for Survival is only ONE WEEK AWAY!!!!

For you last minute ladies (you know who you are) who have waited to register, we wanted to make sure that you have the opportunity to take part in our special crop challenges! This information comes in your crop packet, but we want you to have as much time as possible to participate and possibly win a prize! That's right! There are prizes for the winner of each one of these challenges! So with no further ado, here are the details:

Dessert Maker:
This is very much like our “Queen of Sweets” from the last two years. Basically, bring in a homemade treat which we will serve at dessert time (when the blood sugar is running low). Then, each participant will vote on their favorite dessert and the most popular dessert maker will receive a prize!

Decorated/Altered Bra Contest:
Now’s your chance to have a lot of fun with altered art! This is something that members of the YSC Duluth did for an event in October, and we had so much fun that we couldn’t resist including it in this year’s event. Get out your bling, glitter, rhinestones, ribbon and whatever else you can scrounge together and alter a FABULOUS bra! Check out our creations in the slide show at the top of the blog.
Rules:
1: Please purchase a new bra as your foundation. Any cheap bra will do. You can use any size or any color...it's up to you!
2: Decorate your bra with anything you want! If you are looking for ideas or you are needing an example...there are examples on our blog at http://duluthcrop4acure.blogspot.com
3: You may adhere, sew or iron on...or whatever you fancy! Just make sure your supplies can stay on the bra while your bra is hanging up for judging.
4: Your bra can be made anytime from now up until the event. A deadline will be announced at the Event.
5: Much like with the desserts, altered bras will be judged by the participants at the event. You will be judged specifically on who's Altered Bra receives the most votes!
6: This is the most important rule!!! Have Fun with it!!!!!!!!
