About
Welcome to the official website for the Texas Scrapfest, the best little scrapfest in Texas! The next Texas Scrapfest will be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 1, 2, and 3, 2008, at the Holiday Inn Riverwalk in beautiful San Antonio, Texas for the benefit of Autism Speaks and the Teegan Wynn O’Neal Youth Fund.
Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism advocacy organization, is dedicated to increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders, to funding research into the causes, prevention and treatments for autism, and to advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. To learn more about Autism Speaks, please visit www.ausismspeaks.org.
The Teegan Wynn O’Neal Youth Fund is dedicated to raising awareness of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a major cause of respiratory illness in children, by providing education and patient services. For more information on RSV, please visit www.rsvprotection.com.

Other boards are absolutely welcome . . . as well as scrapbookers that do not belong to an online community. Just let me know you’re out there.

I am so proud that we raised $808 for Teegan’s fund at our 2007 event. And I would like to raise even more money at the 2008 event for Autism Speaks and the Teegan Wynn O’Neal Youth Fund. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you would like to donate an item to these worthy causes. I would like to have the raffles organized before the event this year.
