Florapalooza VSN CHAT!!

[LuvLee]

As we get our hostesses and challenges organized feel free to start chit chatting!!!

[berlycece]

Hi Friends!!!

Our Mini Florapalooza is just ONE WEEK AWAY!!

I am so excited! I had not stamped at all in 2020 until getting ready for this event. Nothing like VSN to get my creative juices flowing!!

I will be posting a shopping list soon. Some items will be needed for the mini, some for the main. But we have to keep the details secret!

[Ozpom]

Ooh I didn’t know about this one. What are the dates please as we have a 70th next weekend and I want to see if I can play. Happy weekend.

[berlycece]

The Mini is next Friday, Feb 28


The Main event is Friday & Saturday March 27 & 28

I hope you can play along!!

[JRHolbrook]

I'll be gone on Friday, but will definitely check it out when I get back! This sounds like such fun! I'm writing the dates on my calendar! YAY!

[smadson]

I want to, but don’t think my wrists/ hands will be strong enough until the main event. I don’t even start PT until Tuesday. I already tried to stamp and couldn’t, I know I can’t use a punch! The only thing is if I have enough done items to put on a card. It even hursts to squeeze glue or roll adhesive. It I want to craft so bad! LOL

[peeps321]

I feel for you Sharon. We don’t want you doing stuff too soon and risk reinjury. Take it easy..good luck with the rehab and hopefully we’ll see you end of March.

[JBgreendawn]

So, when do we know if our idea was picked? (because, if mine was I am not seeing any thing behind the scenes for hosts as of yet?) Just curious.

[JRHolbrook]

How very frustrating for you Sharon! I'd be going stir crazy! I hope PT works miracles for you! Hugs!

[jacqueline]

Did we get confirmations yet? I haven't received anything. Is there a hostess area or something that I need to get permission for?

[resqbarbie]

Hi everyone! I haven’t been around for a VSN for a hot minute! I’ll be around Saturday night and hopefully can play in a few challenges!

[JBgreendawn]

So I guess my idea was picked... however I do not have access to the hostess area and I got an email this morning that says place your spot mark...

[JBgreendawn]

ha, I sent the request in, I knew it was something..:rolleyes:

[luvtostampstampstamp]

Is there still a need for hostesses? Somehow I missed the call for them! Off to see if I can find the post for that.

Hi Denise!
The mini challenges will actually go live this Friday night, not Saturday. But you certainly can play along later in the weekend. We look forward to seeing your creations!

For the Pastels on the list, do you mean chalk pastels or oil-based pastels?

I was definitely thinking chalk based. Not sure if oil based will work. Maybe I should experiment. :p

I flagged it in my introductory post for the Favourites last weekend ;-). We a will always try to give a heads-up for anything like VSN when we write the first post.

[ArtzadoniStudio]

Will be on vacation and unable to play for the mini, but will look in on the fun when I can. Have a blast. Wristing you fast healing, Sharon.

[CAKath]

Love, love, love VSN! Glad I found this notice just in time to get all ready. Looking forward to more info.

[Scraperwannabe]

It was 60* here today & supposed to have a couple of 70* + days over the weekend. I'm SO ready for spring!!! :lol: :lol:

[berlycece]

I have a diocesan board meeting on Monday. Agenda has been sent out, but I have other things to get ready. But instead, my brain is jumping from one card idea to another. ;)

I know the challenges in advance (as a moderator) but I want to make more cards combining with regular challenges, since I haven't done any yet in 2020 :shock:

Looking forward to tomorrow night's Mini!!

[scrapaholic007]

I’m looking forward to this!

[LuvLee]

Lots of snow here! Hence the inspiration for my mini challenge! ;) But don't worry...I'm going easy on all y'all for the mini!!!! But not for the main! :lol:

[jacqueline]

Me too!?? But i don't see any sort of master list or schedule. I don't see the hostess area either. 🤔

I just saw the announcement for this!!!!!! I just found a great bargain on Reese's Fast Breaks at the store this morning (my favorite candy) so my drawer is full, and I didn't even find out until now about VSN. It was meant to be.

I approved you for the hostess side, so you should have access. Let me know if you still don’t.
