Oh,I am sooo jealous!!!
I have prepped my shoe box, but not bagged it up yet.
I have prepped my Cardfronts, but not assembled yet.
I have no idea what I'm doing for my 3D, gift or name tag yet!!!

I also am looking forward to this!

[redwood17]

I have scheduled playtime with my sister Sunday to get her stuff done and my cardfront swap done. I know what cards I am making for the shoebox swaps - I am doing 3 of them. For creativity I have to think of a name tag too, it will be fun to see what everyone does for that.

So excited!
Michele

Michele, did you find any more stores we should hit while we are out your way?

We don't have a lot of specialty stores (believe it is frustrating to me too) in Middletown, NY there is an AC Moore, Michael's and Joann Fabrics all in one strip actually Michaels and AC right next to each other. That's pretty much it. I have googled in the past and Albany has had places. But nothing right close to me.

[redwood17]

Ok, I have 3 shoebox swaps done so have cut for 60 cards and just need to do one more and then I am done with that part. That's the bigger part for me, so excited!

[scraphead]

OK, I know Gayla is going to say I am an over achiever, but I am all done, including my name tag which was a problem to design, cant wait for it.

We'll take the name of this strip mall if you have it.... we don't have an ACMoore in our town anymore.
thanks!

Is Wurtsboro out of the way Heidi? There's a store there (haven't been yet but I get emails once in awhile). When I find a recent email I'll post the info in this thread so anyone else interested can find it too.

Tony's snoring and there's nothing interetsing on tv so I am going to stamp (after a little more catching up and a cruise through the gallery while drinking my coffee.) Wish I was able to go next weekend but I am looking forward to hearing about it and seeing the goodies!

Well, ladies ...

I'm afraid I have to back out of next week's get-together.

My dear friend, and stamping buddy, Janice, passed away in March and was cremated. She and her husband never discussed where she wanted to be buried, so after her memorial service there was never a burial. Her husband called me today and said he has made arrangements for her commital service next Saturday, the 14th, and asked if I would be there. I know Janice wouldn't want me to miss this SCS event, however she's being buried two hours from where we live and I know the chances of me visiting her gravesite on a regular basis are slim because of the distance.

I have made arrangements with Michele to mail my shoebox project and cardfront swaps to her for the event. I will miss meeting all of you. I hope you have a blast, and I look forward to hearing all about it on this thread.

Thanks, and enjoy!

I was so sorry to hear about the situation, but figured no worries on getting swap stuff back to Sue.

Michele

I will take pictures of display boards and send to you via e-mail too

Absolutely ... brag away!!!! Is it the Spirelli card (I didn't check when I posted the link so I'm not sure if it changed?) I love doing Spirelli with the scallop circle punch and metallic embroidery floss!

It was the give thanks top note card that used flower soft - she actually did that for the swap too. So everyone gets one. She was so excited for it to be posted. I was happy for her.

Sue,
I totally understand. I can send you my SBS and cardfront myself, unless you made arrangements with Michele for returns.

[delfinaus]

My cardfronts are done!!!

I still haven't figured out my SBS!

I'm sorry you've lost a stamping buddy. I can't fathom losing any of my stamping buddies. There would be such a hole in my life.
I'm sorry we won't get to play with you but you've got a good reason.

If you can't brag here about a card making sister where can you?

[cveneruso]

Any chance of getting directions from the Garden State Parkway, or route 80 or whatever major road is nearby? I have no idea where I'm going. I thought Highlands was the Atlantic Highlands and I was heading in the opposite direction.

[babitoons]

Ladies...I have not even started these! I attended Stamping Around Philly this weekend and it was amazing! I had such a great time...but now I have these things to plan! Ekk! I did however pick out stamps and get some fun shaped brads to use on these creations! So it's coming....oh and I may be using a stamp set that will be released soon....but who knows

[redwood17]

LOL, I love SCS girls! We finished her card front swap yesterday! Wooo Hooo and now just down to my card front swap. We also did her technique card and also here SBS. I did 4 SBS boxes and so glad I will be able to do the goodie bags and errands and center pieces for tables. I will have boards for samples to go up too! Fun, fun, fun!

Sure, if you take GSP to Route 287 North then you take exit 52B, Towards Butler, you stay on that for 12.7 miles, then you turn onto Canistear Road (RIGHT) the right is BEFORE the light but IF you get to light and see small Ski Shop with Tee Pee outside then pull into the parking lot and enter out back of the lot and that is Canistear Road you go under a one lane bridge for just a moment just HONK BEFORE entering through that it is about 1/2 a car length so not big. Take to the end about 7 miles, make LEFT at fork in the road and that is breakneck road don't worry you won't break your neck you will see post office on RIGHT and then about 1 block down clubhouse is on your LEFT. It faces the lake.

Hope that helps if you need anything additional let me know.

Ok, the last line sounds like a tease!

Sounds good - can't believe it's this weekend! So stoked!

That's a big help.
We go to crops in Wanaque once inawhile. I guess you're a couple exits past there so it's about an hour and 15 minutes away. Okey, dokey. I pass the word onto my buds as to how much time we need.
I think it might be a good idea if someone gives us a cell phone number. Eileen will probably bring Ramona (her GPS) but you never know. It just might be a good idea to have someone to call in case of who knows what.

is'nt it funny, we all give our GPS a name, mine is Lulu?
Pat

[njbaker]

Pat has named mine Lulu too, but I think it needs it's OWN name....
Anyway... I have loaded it into my GPS, to be named later, but I could use a street number?? Or is there another name of this place? Or, we'll get close and call?? LOL

[redwood17]

IF LULU tells you to get on E Lakeshore Drive, don't listen she is lying! LOL, it tends to do it sometimes don't listen! LOL Stay Canistear to Breakneck.

[redwood17]

Post office, 177 Breakneck Road, Highland Lakes, NJ if you GPS to that you will find the clubhouse it is just one block passed the post office on LEFT. If Post office on LEFT (TURN AROUND)

Call when you are close though that is fine!
