LOL, where are you Jen, my house? Sounds just like where we are right now! I'm still working on cleaning up the dinner mess, then baths, homework is almost done. Think I'm just going to sweep aside all the clutter on my desk!

First time for me, dedicating it to my dear friend Catherine and the three young children she left behind.
Every day is a gift.

Sorry to hear about your friend Catherine Kelly, but glad you could join us this year!

That's how I feel about the challenges right now! Too bad I have to work tomorrow. I wish I could just stay home and stamp!

I am going to make extra dinner tonight so I can just eat leftovers tomorrow.

Loved that commercial! I have to work tomorrow too so I will be counting down the minutes until I can get home and stamp! I might be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner a lot this month so I can have more stamping time and less cooking time!

KelliJo · 09-30-2012, 09:25 PM

OK so tomorrow is a day about ROOTS.... I have a dentist at 8:30 and then hair at 11!!!!

Can you say, "OH JOY!" yea ummm, me either... I'll be here though a drooling away on my cards!!!!!! and NOT from the HOLY WOW factor!

Night Peeps!!!! Excited to create with you all!!!!!

Cook22 · 09-30-2012, 10:40 PM

My desk is half tidy. My floor is beautifully tidy

, that's something.
I'm not home from work till 9 Eastern so I'll miss the kick-off but I'll be along for the fun when I get home - housework can wait a little today!

muzbysmom · 10-01-2012, 02:30 AM

Good morning ladies! I'm up early and will be watching for the kick off. First cup's in my mug and I'm ready to go!

vdoyle8 · 10-01-2012, 03:18 AM

I was trying to get to sleep last night, tossing & turning. I looked at the clock and saw it was 12:25 EST -- OCTOBER 1ST!! I told myself to close my eyes and count sheep but instead grabbed my husband's iPad & had to check to see if, by some crazy chance, the first challenge had posted at midnight LOL. I didn't see the master list that gave the times or I could have just gone to sleep... Excited a little????

Lydia and all hostesses - I'm going to say thanks in advance for the fun...

Me too, Lynn! I will have just enough time to check out the challenge before my yoga class. I'll be thinking about stamping instead of pure & peaceful zen thoughts LOL

togrady · 10-01-2012, 04:08 AM

I am super excited for the first challenge! I wonder what time zone the "8 o'clock" applies to!

allee's · 10-01-2012, 04:13 AM

I read it was 8 Central! I'm ready!!

I KNOW! Just waiting patiently at 8:00 am EST

eggette · 10-01-2012, 04:17 AM

Okay the official time is 8:00 am Central Time - I have time to do some laundry and clean up my kitchen......dang it.....

muzbysmom · 10-01-2012, 04:19 AM

It's 7:18 my time and I'm in the central time zone. Not sure which time zone Lydia's going by but she is in the central time zone also so.....

hbrown · 10-01-2012, 04:50 AM

I'm at work, but I can at least read the challenges and dream about the cards I'll make tonight after slaving away here at work.

Bring em on!!!!!

Ok, have my pink and hope to craft this afternoon. Can't wait to start.

naturecoastcrafter · 10-01-2012, 06:26 AM

oh my word... if I have to search for these I'm screwed! lol

hbrown · 10-01-2012, 07:22 AM

LOL There's only the one so far. LOL

If you look in the general "Hope" forum here - Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Forum - Splitcoaststampers

Then you can scroll down and see all the new threads. I found the first (and only - so far) challenge in there.

Ksnurse · 10-01-2012, 08:53 AM

and there is a master challenge list where all the challenges will also be posted...just the details, no chatter there but there will be seperate chatter threads for each challenge...

UnderstandBlue · 10-01-2012, 09:10 AM

What I want to know is if we are going to break last year's card record ladies?!?!

UnderstandBlue · 10-01-2012, 09:31 AM

Want your mind blown?

KelliJo · 10-01-2012, 10:16 AM

OK, so how do we let you know we mailed? Do we send you a PM with a DC number included?

I am TOTALLY mailing a card for EVERY challenge maybe even two if I can get them done. These seem to be a bit more taxing on my brain, maybe it was the 2 1/2 hours at the dentist....

I see Lydia's and Lori's up so I'm headed to the cave... I WISH I had a puter in my room!~!!!!

hbrown · 10-01-2012, 10:24 AM

Um yeah, how do we mail them? Stick em in a priority envelope? Or do they need to be in a secure box? KelliJo and I haven't done these Hope challenges before, so we are totally clueless....

KelliJo - yucko on the dentist. Go play and get rid of the dentist cooties! I wanna see what you create! Still got another few hours to go til I am off work....
