Hi ladies

First time I've properly logged in for ages! I'd absolutely love to come but right now I'm not sure where I will be. Rex is in Quebec City right now on a job and it's quite possible/probable I will be there too. It's just too far (and expensive) to come back for a weekend. However things have a habit of changing overnight when it comes to what my husband is doing!!!!! I'll subscribe and let you know for definite by the middle of February.

[Calgary Cowpoke]

Hi Ladies!

Yes I am definitely there Christine with Leigh. Preferably with the Queen bed and cot room.
Ruth, I understand the DH committements but do hope things change overnight and you can join us!
I am in for Sunday as well.
I am printing pictures as I type and getting my pages ready to work on.
Sooo looking forward to this ~

take care all

Gayle

[toobusystamping]

Ruth, I hope things work out, but I understand the distance and cost.

Gayle, I got you down for the room.

Anyone else want to join us?

Christine

[laderme]

I'm in for my own room. Got my pennies in a jar all ready now to think of something to work on

[Calgary Cowpoke]

Thinking of what I am going to work on keeps my mind occupied in rush hour traffic -

[I'm Hooked]

I would love to attend, however, cannot commit right now. We are in Arizona, but are coming home Feb 15. I have an MRI on the 18th and was planning on coming back here via Orlando (weird, eh) the following week. If my plans change, I will let you know and if I am north, I will definitely attend. Hopefully, I will know within the next couple of weeks or so.

If I can't make it I know you will have a great time. I really hate missing out on these things!

[CinS]

I am in. Shared room with twin. I will have to leave for a bit on Saturday to take the girlie to a gymnastics meet in Rimbey.

Reminder that I have a beef allergy.

[toobusystamping]

That's great Cindy. I will mark you down. I have to leave Saturday evening myself, but will be back around 11:30 ish.

Hope things work out Deb - it would be good if you can make it.

Anyone else?

Christine

[Calgary Cowpoke]

Hi
Christina Newton can make it as well. Gitta can not.
Cheers

[cat_woman]

I would love to go to a retreat - I've never been to one before. I don't know if I can swing it, but I'm going to see what I can do. It would be nice to meet some "local" people - I'm in Calgary.

Thanks Gayle!! I will add them to the list.

[toobusystamping]

Just to let everyone know that we are at the point of sharing queen beds. All the private rooms and single queen beds are taken. The tentative people on the list (Melanie - Rose's daughter-in-law) will likely need to share. I will check with Kelly at Rustlers about opening the last two rooms since most people don't want to share a bed.

Christine

[toobusystamping]

Hi Folks - we are full up unless Melanie cannot make it. If so, we have one bed left unless two people decided they want to share a queen and then we may be able to accommodate one more.

Thanks everyone.

For those on SCS - Please let me know if you want 3 nights or just 2

Also I need any food allergies or sensitivities by February 14, 2014

Christine

[Calgary Cowpoke]

3 nights please and thanks!

[CinS]

Two nights please.

[cat_woman]

I'm glad to see you guys were able to fill up all the spots. I'll have to keep this in mind and budget for next year. I would have loved to go. Maybe next year, if there is enough interest we could arrange something for spring break (I work for the school board so I get all the same holidays as the schools do )

[Calgary Cowpoke]

Hi Melanie ~
Rose's DIL can't make it

[laderme]

Just to clear things up - Denise wants her own room

[laderme]

And I can't eat butter or margarine. Kelly has been good about putting it on the side so far.

[laderme]

ok so now I have the details down.....what is everyone bringing? I am bringing my copics, and other than that, I am not sure what I am going to bring. Any ideas?

[Calgary Cowpoke]

What to bring??? What to bring??? Oi vay...Well I figure...some of this...LOTS of that...a tad of those and few of these...oh heck I am just going to bring everything!

Sooo Sunday night, gonna be a jamma party for just three old boots?? Oooh going to be good, nitter natter, chitter chatter...but first... a hot tub soak for the old bones then the jammies right?? Lovin' it just thinkin' about it!

[toobusystamping]

Hey ladies, we have a cot still available if anyone else wants to join.

Any other food allergies?

We need one more for 3 nights to guarantee the rate and the stamping room

Christine

[Calgary Cowpoke]

Hi ~
How many rooms do they have with cots?
thanks

[toobusystamping]

There are two rooms with cots - one has one queen bed and one has two queen beds. There is also a twin bed in a room with two queen beds.

The cot in the room with the one queen bed is available.

Oh shoot! I should have checked this thread earlier. I was able to find a little wiggle room in my budget, but thought this was filled up so I spent it on the Copic certification classes running during spring break here in Calgary. Hopefully, next year I'll be able to join you all...

[laderme]

today i am reorganizing yet again....in the attempts to pull a project together to actually get it finished in Sundre. Wish me luck...

Christine, I will call Cory and Denise to find out about food allergies.

[toobusystamping]

Thanks Robin.

What ever you decide to work on I will make sure you get it finished.
