Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
We will be having a get together on Saturday March 16th . This will be a 'you choose the occasion for your card' swap.
This will be another super, super, casual swap.
Bring a card kit, $5.00 to help cover the cost of the facilities, a brown bag lunch and drink of choice. If you don't want to bring food, there is pizza, Skyline, McDonalds, Oriental, and a Subway near by.
There is a fridge, m/w, and stove/oven if needed.
Since we need to know when to stop making card kits, we are going to limit the participants to 10.
Let me know if you can make it so we can reserve your spot.
TIME: 10AM until about 5PM
LOCATION:
Loins Club
2160 Lamplight Dr
Bright IN 47025
Bring all supplies needed to create your masterpiece (quality pre-cut card stock, stamps, ink, embellishments, etc).
Bring along a little extra for any oopisies. Please make two samples of your card so it is easier for everyone to see your wonderful creation. Also, please include written instructions as necessary. Don't forget to add your name, we love to direct our ooohs and aaahs to the correct person.
Please mark all supplies you bring so we know who to contact when things are left behind!
You do NOT need to include envelopes if your card is the standard size (5 1/2 x 4 1/4). If you are making an odd size card, we would LOVE it if there is a envelope for that size!
Space will be provided for a garage sale items. HOWEVER: YOU will be responsible for any items you bring and for collecting your own money. Please let us know ASAP as space is limited.

DIRECTIONS
Take 275 WEST to exit #16 (State Route 50/Greendale/Lawrenceburg/Aurora). Go straight thru the light at the end of the ramp. You will need to get in the right-hand lane in order to go straight.
Turn right at the next light. (You will see a sign for Perfect North Slopes pointing the way to go)
At the T-intersection, turn left onto Indiana State Route 1 NORTH. You do not stop at this intersection. (You will see another sign for Perfect North Slopes pointing the way to go. It was sure nice of them to help us out !! LOL!)
Go approx 3 miles and turn right onto Salt Fork. Just before you get to Salt Fork, you will pass a red barn next to a two-story white house. You will see a metal Lions sign as soon as you turn onto Salt Fork.
Go approx 4.5 miles until you reach a stop sign and turn left onto Jackson Ridge (there will be a NO OUTLET sign directly across from you at this stop sign).
Go approx 1/2 mile passing a graveyard on your left to another stop sign. Turn right onto Salt Fork (yep, same street name as before).
Go approx 3/10 of a mile passing St Teresa's on the right. Turn right onto Lamplight Drive. If you pass the firehouse, you have gone too far.
The Bright Lion's Club will be the second gravel drive on your left. The parking lot is next to the building which is cream color and has a flag pole out front.
Louise is a "maybe" -- she wants to come desperately, but isn't sure if her schedule works out for it. She said she would know better as we get closer to the date.
Oh No Pamela! I think that I've missed it!
Jan and I were in hopes that we could get in this swap, but you only have one spot left. Would you ladies be willing to have 11 instead of 10??
If so, please let me know. We would love to join in. It's been a long time since I've seen you all, and if we can't then we will try for the next one.
Hugs,
Joani

I will ask and see how everyone feels. Would the both of you be able to stay until all cards are done?
Ladies - after much discussion, we have decided we are going to hold the count for this swap at the original posting of 10. I have started a waiting list for the 3 that have asked to join us.
For the gals already signed up: PLEASE!!! If you find out you cannot join us as originally planned, let me know right away so I can contact the ones on the waiting list and see if they are still interested in coming.
I'm sorry that I've been out of touch lately, but I hope this finds everyone well. I'm looking forward to seeing eveyone at the next SWAP.
Since we will have 10 at the next SWAP, it would be best if each of us make 2 samples of our card. If we don't have to wait to see the sample, it should help to make the card move along faster - & with 10 cards every "saved" minute will be helpful.
Hi everyone! I am still out of town but I am trying to get a Stampin Up Class together for March. I have had a couple of people ask when my next class would be. So these are the days that work for me in March: Any Tuesday, any Friday or the first two Mondays. Just a reminder, Sale-a-bration (buy $50 and get a product free) ends on March 22nd. If you would like to come, please let me know the days you would be available and I will try to work out the best day for all. Thanks

I couldn't do is Fri March 8 or Mon Mar 11, but any other day in March should be OK.

As of today, I could do Mon, March 4th or 11th or Fri 3/29. Let me know what works - I'll try to keep these available.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend a March workshop.
I have already committed to 2 lunches (March 4 & March 11th)
and I am sitting with the grandkids who are on a 2-week quarter break the last 2 weeks of March.
I'm interested .... it just isn't going to work out in March for me.
Yes, 2 weeks off, can you believe it? Lawrenceburg School District is on a "balanced school schedule" which means :
they start early (early August) and have 9 week "sessions" with 2-weeks off after each session ends;
Hence the schedule runs like this:
1) Early August until early October (approx. 9 weeks) -- then off 2 weeks)
2) Mid October until Christmas (approx. 9 weeks) -- then off 2 weeks)
3) Early January until mid March (approx 9 weeks) -- then off 2 weeks)
4) Early April until early June (approx 9 weeks) -- then off until early August, which is 8 or 9 weeks.
My dates are guesses on the schedule -- but the concept is the same.
I would have THRIVED on this kind of schedule as a kid!!!
NOT all of Indiana is on this schedule -- like Bright schools are NOT --
Obviously, I come into play to sit with the kindergardener when she is off. The 3 year old is off just ONE of those weeks in March for Spring break from his Pre-school, "KIDDIE COTTAGE" in Greendale.

I didn't realize Lawrenceburg school district had that kind of schedule. I would have thrived on that too when I was school age. I wonder how the working moms feel about it -- is it easier or harder to arrange babysitting for all those 2 week sessions instead of a long summer break?
I just want everyone to know that I finished my kits! That is a first for me. I am usually working on them the night before!
Also I am not having a SU Stamping Class this month. I will try to schedule a date for next month is anyone is interested.
Linda
Question regarding our last SWAP before Christmas:
Did anyone FIND an ink pad -- Tim Holz Distressed Inks, "Wild Honey" ??? I have been looking for several months for this (my favorite Distressed ink) and unable to find it. Then I happened to remember that it was one of the pads I took to the swap. Everything else that I brought to the swap is here -- just wondering if somehow that ink pad slipped into someone else's shoebox????
I looked but I don't have that color. Sorry, I know how aggravating it is not to be able to find something . I have been missing my SU bird punch for a long time. I keep thinking I will find it somewhere (like most of the other stuff I lose here!) Hope you find it.
Linda
Thanks for looking, Linda -- I've exhausted every possibility here, even under my craft table LOL! I keep all my ink pads together, except when I'm using them and then return to the storage for inks.
I wanted to post here, since that's the last time I recall using it!
I checked around and I do not have it. You message prompted me to put up leftovers from some previous projects, I actually found some missing stuff of my own!
Is it possible the pad fell out in the car and it is under the front seat or something like that?
I'll look in the car, but I always transport my stamping stuff in the trunk in a zipped up pull cart.
I'm going to scan around the craft table AGAIN today!! Seems weird that all the other pads are there except for that one! And I did use that for my card for the swap -- we'll see what I find!

What are you missing, Pam?
Carol
My mind, mostly. LOL!! I don't have anything missing from a SBS, I just put stuff down on my crafting table and then promptly bury it.
I will text Vic to see if she found a stamp pad. I think we had a lunch box left over from last time.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one missing their minds!! Dimentia+
Hmmm on the lunch box -- I have 2 and I don't know if they are both in the pantry or not -- Mine is an insulated multi blue colored 'bag' that has a zipper at the bottom for an ice pack -- will go look for the 2nd one -- I thought I only saw 1 the last time I used it. (Was the lunch still in the bag???)
Carol - I checked through my box of distress inks and I have a Wild Honey ink pad, but it still has the cellophane wrapper on it, so it must be mine.
Linda has inspired me to get my card done prior to the night before -- I am proud to say that I got all the pieces for my kits cut and ready to go. I did them last night! But I just realized that I have nothing to bring for lunch tomorrow!

I think we checked for food and for some reason, I want to say it was red, but not 100% sure on that.

That is OK, Mary Ann, I took your place this time. Just finished mine and packed everything up. Brought it all up from the basement and was doing one final check and realized I forgot to put the samples in the kit! Yup, I was almost a mystery card!
Food? Oh boy, I didn't even think of that either! Last time we were there the m/w was gone. Wonder if it is back?
So I bought a car! I wanted a Rav4 but the seats were not very comfortable. Tried another Camery but I didn't really think it was comfortable, tried a Highlander and really liked it, but didn't like the price tag. So we got a Sienna Mimi Van. Car payments for the next 5 years! I'm going to have to cut something out. I might have to start doing some cooking at home!
Had a great time yesterday.
And my next Stampin Up Workshop will be April 9th.

Cool! What color did you get? To help you out on your eating at home, here are a couple of recipes we have tried lately and Hunter actually liked them!!
For the first one, I think I found a note in one of the comments where they used chunky applesauce instead of messing with the apples. Meijer has an extra chunky one that works well. Also found someone that listed how she cooked it in the oven.
For the buffalo chicken one, I used a mild buffalo sauce since I was worried about the kid liking something spicier. This one I did do in the crock pot.
