I'm trying to pull together my shoebox and 3 club projects, and I finished my downline meeting project instead (I think), which I DON'T NEED until the 17th. Geesh, who's idea was this?

DH wants me to cook for him after his surgery on Monday. Who's he kidding? I probably said that already. It is really stressing me out!

[snowcountry311]

rolodex swap done

[snowcountry311]

re thinking my shoebox. do i dare change to another?

[norway76]

I've made progress, but nothing is 100% done. Plan on finishing swaps during lunch tomorrow at the conference and cutting & scoring the last of the shoebox with Jen tomorrow evening. Hope I didn't forget anything! I even found a (hopefully) passable gift swap.
Can't wait to see everybody!!!

[snowcountry311]

[snowcountry311]

i'm up & leaving
excited!

[arlenevita]

At 10 a.m. I was thinking, "Ahhh, they're starting now!" Hope you all are having a great time! What fun things are you making?? So sorry to have missed you, Kari!!!

The wedding was moved inside since the rain was pouring down hard at Hart's Hill's garden. Quick ceremony...all of 10 minutes so we're home to wait to go to the reception at 6 p.m. at Hotel Utica. I heard photo booth and props (think I can get DH to do smoochy pictures with me??), homemade Polish pastry table, and candy table mentioned so I'll be ODing on sugar tonight!
