Hello from Olean, NY!
I live in upstate New York with my husband and two cats. I love cardmaking using stamps and anything else I can get my hands on. I love learning new stuff and I'm really excited about being in this forum. I've never participated in a forum before so I hope I don't mess up too bad. :p

I have actually been to your town! A college pal lived there (grew up there) and went for a week many, many years ago. Her family has since moved, as has she, but it was such a nice place! Enjoy SCS!

The Old Library in Olean
Wow - signed in to browse forums and saw Olean, NY - what memories! I went to Houghton and visited Olean a bunch - we even studied at St. Bonaventure's library! Is the Old Library restaurant still open? That was a special place - had graduation dinner there and a few other special meals. Of course, that was back in 1983-85 but it still ranks as one of my favorites!
Thanks for going down memory lane with me! Welcome to SCS - you'll love all the resources and friendships!
Susan

My niece is a nurse at Warsaw Hospital. I am very familiar with the area too because I grew up near Letchworth Park. Glad to hear from a familiar place. Thanks for the welcome! |

What a nice surprise. The Old Library restaurant is still open and going strong. I've been through Houghton many times as well. It's surprising how many people I have just met who know Olean. Thanks for your warm welcome to SCS. |

I'm quoting my friend Gayla because she pretty much said what I would have said (except I am welcoming you from Dutchess County!) I've been lucky enoigh to have been able to travel "far and wide" to stamp with lots of awesome SCSers and have made some "real faux" friendships.
Happy Crafting!

I've been meeting so many nice people since I've joined SCS. I'm not sure where Dutchess County is so I'll have to look it up. I think it's great you have been able to meet so many fellow stampers. It sounds like lots of fun!

Very roughly speaking (I'd not have met many of my friends if I was better at using maps) Dutchess County is a few counties north of The Bronx (Bronx, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess). It's a about 200 miles south(ish) of Syracuse.
Definitely fun meeting fellow stampers in person - even better is that so many have become friends. And sometimes they don't live too far away (Hi Heidi!).
I'm logging off soon because DH and I are going to pig out at a Chinese Buffet and then go see Sherlock Holmes.
Happy Crafting!

It has been awhile since I have been there. We went there a couple of years ago for a training seminar for work. I remember it being a nice drive and we stopped at Cuba cheese on our way home. |

Okay I've got the general vicinity of where you live now. The chinese buffet sounds good. I really want to see Sherlock Holmes. I'm betting it will be great. Have fun!  |

We enjoyed ourselves ... there was actually a line to get seated at the buffet (but definitely worthwhile ... especially the pepper steak ... so tender!)
I liked Sherlock Holmes but I think the overall reception was lukewarm (most of the other people in the theater were probably 60+ and possibly expected a more traditional Holmes movie instead of one that featured boxing/martial arts in several scenes.) I'm glad we went but it could have also been put on the Netflix list, kwim (a night out is always worthwhile!) |

Thanks for the heads up on Sherlock Holmes. I'll wait for the rental. At least you had a great meal.

Who did you visit? Chances are if I don't know them, my DH does since he grew up in here and currently teaches at the school. |

I am killing myself trying to rememebr the last name, but her name is Heather. She had an older sister (she was my age, so would have been in the HS from 1982-1986-ish), lived with their Mom. Her sister got married in 1987 or 1988, I went for the wedding. Heather & I went to Long Island University, if that helps. She was likely marine bio, mos tpeorple were. It's been a very long time so I can't remember exactly.
Her last name is *right here* on the tip of my tongue!!
Bennet maybe?? |
