WA*Redmond/Bellevue/Kirkland get-together

[smriti]

Hello ladies

We're having a Redmond/Bellevue/Kirkland get-together on July 11th, 2012 at the Redmond Library (Meeting Room 2) from 7:30-8:30pm. We intend to host this monthly. The goal is to simply have fun! So just bring along any project that you want to work on. For starters we're going to keep it simple and short - mingle with other stampers and work on whatever you want to.

Here's the address of Remond Library:
15990 NE 85th St, Redmond, WA 98052

If you're interested in attending then either leave a comment on this thread or send me a PM and I'll add you to the list.

Yes I did! Thanks for adding the link to the get-together to your signature - yuo rock!

[smriti]

btt - anybody else from around here?

[smriti]

Hmm I would've thought there are more people from this area on SCS!

[c3wham]

I'm in Snohomish and would like to join your get together. Would you PM me or post the address for this library?

[creativec]

Smriti, I have this meetup in my signature now. Maybe that will get more people to join

[smriti]

c3wham: that's wonderful! I added you to the list and also added the address to the OP in case anybody else needed it too.

Chaitali: thanks a bunch - you're awesome! We need all the publicity

[smriti]

Less than a week to our get-together!

[creativec]

We should start planning what we'll do at the meetup! Should we all get make-and-take projects? I can bring some snacks if the library allows that.

[creativec]

Smriti just wanted to let you know that I'll be about 15-20 mins late for this :( I have a dance class from 7 to 7.45 this day. Its just 5 mins away from the library so I'll leave as soon as I can and come for the meetup. Hope thats ok.

[smriti]

No problem Chaitali. Unfortunately we only have the room from 7:30-8:30 so we can't extend beyond that.

Regarding snacks, I checked with the library and they're OK with snacks and beverages.

We can get whatever card/project we want to work on.

[smriti]

I've edited the OP to add that the meet-up is in Meeting Room 2 at the library.

Mark your calendars - the meet-up is this Wednesday at 7:30pm! See you all there!

Hey ladies, I totally forgot about this and double booked myself. I might still be able to get out on time to get there but I wont be prepared with any project. Would that be okay ? Or is it better to skip this time and plan to meet you all next time?

Prema

[Caraquena]

Sorry but I need to attend a business dinner tonight :( Have fun

[smriti]

Prema, don't worry about any projects. We're just getting together to have fun! So just come along!

Alessandra - so sorry that you won't be able to make it. Hope you can come next time!

[creativec]

I am bringing a project for everyone! See you all soon!

[smriti]

Thank you everybody for coming to the meetup yesterday! It was good putting faces to all these names and so much fun!

We should start planning on the next one!

[prema1108]

It was nice meeting everyone yesterday. Hope to stay connected

[Caraquena]

now that fall is coming, we should try to hold another get together. Anyone up for it?

[smriti]

+1

[c3wham]

I'd like to join in on this one. I felt sad about missing the first one earlier this summer when I went out of town.

[smriti]

Do any of these dates work for people?
Sept 27
Oct 4
Oct 11
Oct 18
Oct 25

If not then please suggest some other dates?

[Charminglycreative]

I am fine with any of the dates.

Regards Diane
Charmingly_creative

[creativec]

Oct 11 onwards would work for me. I'm out of town before that.

[c3wham]

The 4th or 25th works for me. I have parent/teacher conferences on the 18th so that won't work for me. I hope to be able to meet up with all of you. Karen

[smriti]

So looks like Oct 25th should work for everybody.

Alessandra, haven't heard from you?

[c3wham]

Lots of questions!! Are we still meeting on the 25th? At the Redmond Library?? What is the time? Is everyone bringing a project to work on individually? I have a card project I can share with everyone if that's okay. Just need a count.

Looking forward to meeting everyone! Karen

[smriti]

Hi Karen, I hadn't booked the library as I was waiting to hear back from others and then I totally forgot :( Sorry about that.

Given that you're so excited, if people are still in I can still reserve the library!

Diane and Chaitali - are you guys till available for 25th?
Anybody else wants to join in?

[GarnetJ]

If you gals plan another event, please let me know. I drive from Bellingham to Dupont almost monthly. I would love to stop and stamp with you all.

[smriti]

Sure GarnetJ! We would love to have another member!

On an unrelated note, I've been to Bellingham once and I love that place! How I would love to have stores like OTION and Stamp-a-doodle out here in Redmond!

[smriti]

How about getting together for an afternoon full of stamping?

If yes, then how does March 10 (afternoon around 2 or 3pm) look for everybody? If that doesn't work then please let me know other Saturdays/Sundays that would work for you!

Hope to be able to get a quorum for a fun-filled afternoon!

[c3wham]

I would love to get together, but the 10th doesn't work for me. I will be in Tacoma all day that day. The 16th is out also! The 9th might work for me though. The 23rd or 24th is also open. Would this be at the library in Redmond?
