Shoe Box Swap at Maryland City VFD Hall in Laurel, MD 6/29/13
At the Maryland City Volunteer Fire Department Hall, 3498 Fort Meade Road, Laurel, MD 20724. Doors will not open till 8:00am to allow me to finish setting up. There is no theme for this swap. You can use any companies stamps and paper but paper must be Stampin� Up! quality or better, please. We have to be done, cleaned up and out of the hall by 4pm because there is another event that evening.
There will be room for 20 stampers. There is a $10 non-refundable charge per person due to me on or before Monday June 17th, 2013.
Everyone is asked to please bring something to share for lunch. I will post a sign up. We have access to the kitchen for ice and refrigerator use but not the stoves, so please do not bring anything to be baked or that needs to be heated up. Crock pots are always welcome.
There will be several door prizes throughout the day.
I will be a FREE table where you can bring in anything you have that is stamping or scrapbooking related that you don�t want any more and you are willing to give away to a good home, like � used sheet of stickers, cardstock or page kit leftovers that you don�t need/want any more. You know one stampers trash is another stampers treasure � LOL.
So your list of stuff to bring is: your shoebox swap (any theme), something to share for lunch, your basic tools (scissors, adhesive, bone folder, etc) and any items you wish to give away.
I look forward to seeing you there and having another great day of stamping.
Kathy

Reason: Adding more people :-)
Ugh, I SOOOOO wish I could come but we'll be away on vacation that weekend. I'll keep my eyes open for the next one. I'm not going to host my June 8th event since most people are already booked at a shoebox swap in Ft. Meade but I'll keep you posted on the next one (probably in conjunction with the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog release). Have a FABULOUS time and I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can make the next one.
My friend Anna Rose Filan and I would like to join your Shoebox Swap! We are still deciding on what to bring but will let you know soonest. Also, will you email me your mailing address and I can pop a check in the mail? Thanks for hosting this swap, we can't wait!
Sorry you can't make it. My next on will be 9/28/13. Look for it on here about a month before.

I ran out of time and had to bring store-bought potato salad to the swap today. But, at least it was The Best Potato Salad in all of Howard County. The same Atholton shopping center in Simpsonville (in Columbia, MD) also has an award-winning bakery, called Touch� Touchet .
Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 3 hr 0 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
KATHY I do believe this was the best Shoebox of all. Very nice company, beautiful cards with so many different techniques. Thanks for all your efforts. Eva
THERESA Many thanks for the macaroni and cheese recipe. I"m sure others want it also. Also thanks for the idea of drawing a line on the wood block of the hand to indicate where the center of the stamp actually is. Just love those clouds Eva
