MA * Boston area Shoe Box Swap - Winter themed cards

[PMR]

I have my ziplocs full now! I have to finish making the list of what I need to bring.

[tiggerificandi]

Great to hear.

[norway76]

Ok, well, I'm almost all set for this weekend in NY. Just need to finish assembling card fronts for a swap tomorrow night. Lots of time next week to work on this project! And as I said before... I do have an idea. It feels good to be stamping and crafting again!

[snowcountry311]

sounds great kari
i'm busy working on ny items also

[tiggerificandi]

K, looks like 13 is the number. That will be fun. Lets all have 15 sets ready to go for next weekend. If you haven't signed up for a food item to share, let me know which you want to bring ...

[PMR]

13 is a good number! I made for 20 so that is good we can always use gift card holders.

[tiggerificandi]

I have twenty made as well. I thought of making another set of cards to do for the swap, just for fun. Actually if my daughter isn't working she will join us, but she never knows until a few days before Saturday.

Hello

[tiggerificandi]

One week from right now we will be stamping away. I love to have a house full of people!

[PMR]

I am excited. I have to finish getting my stuff together.

[tiggerificandi]

6 days, I am ready to go. Now to get the house ready!

[njbaker]

You must have some pretty nice stamping space for all of us to fit. Can't wait myself!!

[PMR]

I need to get some cards together for your collection Andi.

I just joined SCS yesterday, and I'm getting my feet wet in the forums, when I came across this notice. I will be in WA visiting my folks during your swap but I hope to know when your next one is! And thanks for the explanation on what a shoebox swap is, it was good for me to know and not have to ask! (expose my ignorance!)

Anyway, I just want to meet other card fanatics and learn from them! Maybe next time.

Good afternoon

[dg]

hi all, I just completed my card, cuts and directions. Now to pick out a dessert item I want to make. So many choices.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. Is the parking all set, Andi? I will be heading down from NH so I could carpool with someone if needed.
diane

[tiggerificandi]

Diane, I think we will be good with parking. Thanks for asking though. Pick a yummy dessert! (although, that isn't hard to do ...)

[snowcountry311]

just read the 1st post-so all i have to do is make a shoebox. no swaps for trading?
i can pump that out in no time!

[njbaker]

Gayla.... if you have any full cards to share/donate or have time to put together some card fronts with backers ... Andi is collecting for a military fundraiser. Check the link in her sig line. Or you could participate as a swap as well...
I don't know about time....... let me check with DH.

[snowcountry311]

Does anyone know of some local scrapbooking or stamping stores in the area? I know my CNY friends would like to check some out whiel they're here. ;) And I wouldn't mind knowing either!

[snowcountry311]

[philsmom]

Just checking, should the grab bag contents be visible or a surprise?
I found some stamps for the silent auction that I am tired of; do we have to fill something out or just bring them with us?
