*A shoebox project for 6 people to do (+extra supplies for mess-ups). Plus 2 finished samples of the project - 1 to leave with the box and 1 for the display board. The display board samples will be sent to one of the Cards for The Troops programs. Everyone will rotate around and get to do 6 different shoebox projects. Projects can be cards, small gifts, or party favors. The project should be something that can be completed in 20 minutes or less. The project must use Stampin' Up supplies (with the exception of any embellishment not sold by SU). Current stamp sets preferred if possible. Please let us know if you have any questions about this. (Please note: It is totally ok to CASE a card or project out of the Idea Book & Catalog or from SCS with proper credit given!!!! Don't feel you have to come up with something totally original on your own!!! This is for fun - no stress!)
*A Christmas/Holiday Card to enter the Christmas Card Contest (optional)
*A scrubber and stampin mist (if you have it) with your name on it.

Event will be held at:
First Baptist Church of Lakewood
5336 Arbor Rd
Long Beach CA 90808
This location is close to 405 Freeway, 605 Freeway, 91 Freeway just depending on where you are coming from. E-mail Jami if you need help with directions. It is very close to the Long Beach Airport Marriott if any of you want to make a really special weekend of it.
There are quite a number of places you may want to visit while in the area:
Fabric Barn - the most incredible deals on ribbon and trims by the yard and by the spool. See www.fabricbarn.com for directions
C.R. Bloomin' Stamps (this is less than 5 minutes away). See www.crbloominstamps.com
Tall Mouse Craft Store See http://www.tallmouse.com/locations/ for the Cerritos location which is about 15 minutes away
Strictly Scrapbooking (in same parking lot as Tall Mouse)
Michael's (there are 2 within about 5 minutes - Lakewood and Long Beach)
Contact Jami if you need info on restaurants or other things in the area.
If you have other plans for this day - CHANGE THEM!!!! This event is not to be missed!!!!
We are also quite near Long Beach Airport if any other SCSers want to fly in to join us! We'd love to meet you!!!!
QC, I'll definitely take some pix! But, I think you should tell DH that you are need of a vacation and SoCal seems like the place to go. Tell him to visit the beaches and Disneyland. Sound like a plan? I so wish you could just travel the Coast and come on down!
There's room for EVERYONE!!!! We can probably accomodate 60 no problem!! We're hoping for at least 20 or more!!!!
The reason for 6 with the shoebox swap - we figured that's about what we'd have time for along with the bracelet and the get-acquainted time if the projects take approx. 20 minutes each to complete.
Can't wait to meet you!!!!!
Please e-mail Joy for the registration form or check back here for it to be attached.

Tandra - you can e-mail Joy directly for it. We will be attaching it to this post later. But in the meantime go ahead and e-mail Joy and she'll be able to get it to you probably in a day or so. Her e-mail is in the post above.
It's going to be so fun to meet people I kinda feel like I know, but have never met...KWIM?? :lol:
Oh you guys, I am so bummed. I grew up in HB, but live in Hawaii now. I will be in SoCal until the 2nd of Nov for my sister-in-laws wedding! I can't believe I am going to miss this one!
Do you ladies have any other hotel information. I would really like to come, but I AM NOT DRIVING for obvious reasons. Can yoy help me by telling me the price of a room at the hotel?
Thanks
Catie

Those are the 2 closest, but here in SoCal there are actually tons of hotels and motels within 20 minutes of us. We are within 20 minutes of Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, The Aquarium. etc. etc. If you need me to do some more research, let me know. Definitely check with me about location before you book a place other than the 2 I've already listed so I can let you know how close it is. You can e-mail me (see address in original post).
I'm so excited about the idea of you flying out!
Hey all you non-SoCal'ers....come on and join us!!!!
Man I wish I could come and join the fun, but I am participating in a craft fair that day. I will have to catch all of you stampers on the next get together.

Hi Jami,
I'm in Corona.
I have to try to change some things in my schedule around so I can go and I probably won't know for sure for about 2 weeks. As soon as I know I'll send my registration.
By the way... I know there are the shoebox swaps, but do you think anyone will bring other cards to swap as well? That would be fun! Sencie
I posted yesterday and had to get to work...sorry. I'm Suzie193 as you can see and I live in the Temecula Valley - just south of Riverside. I'm trying to get a few of my friends together to come as well. Can't wait to meet everyone. This will be sooooo much fun. I did find the application and have sent my money and app to Joy.
See you all soon.
