If you answered the poll in the Stampin' Events area, THANK YOU! But I don't know who you are since the poll doesn't tell me, so I thought this would be the best way for me to keep things straight!

Marcia - I'm on Friday. I would love to meet up if time allows. It will have to be a 'wait and see' situation for a bit, though. Keep us all informed about when/where things are taking place.
For the SAT regional, the girls will get out around 4:30-5pm from the meeting on Friday. They are then going back to the hotel to stamp, like a shoebox party. Then they're going to dinner at 7:30p.m.
Do y'all want to do something like that? I've never done a shoebox party, and to be honest, rooms for 30 of us to gather in to stamp will cost money that I don't know if y'all want to pay. I know the SAT chicks got their hotel rooms they're going to stamp in through Lila's husband's freebies he gets from travelling so much ;) Since I used a lot of my husband's points for MY room, I know I can't swing anymore.
Are you interested in actual stamping? Or do you just want to get together to visit, swap & eat? Let me hear from you!
Hey Glad to see we have some order going on... Marcia~ GREAT JOB! also, I would be game for what ever is good for the others... I'll be checking in @ 3:00 Fri. just give me time to put my bags down & go!
:lol: :P
Thanks, Paula! It just took a while to figure out how to get some order. Tip #1: get it out on the front page! Tip #2: take a roll call!
And I've added Kathy and Wilma to the Saturday list.
I will go over the potential restaurants tonight with DH, after he's gotten settled in a bit. He has meetings downtown a lot, so he'll be able to give some guidance there.
I've got the Jennifer, Jeannie & Barbara down for Friday. Jennifer & Jeannie, I wasn't sure which one was samscoup. Not that it matters, but that's why it's not by the name
and I will be arriving on Friday night - takes about 5 hours from Pensacola FL where I live, mom and I plan to leave (she is a demo too) around 3pm or so (DH gets off work at 2:30pm) - so we will be in on Friday night around 8 or 9ish our time which is 9 or 10 ATL time (they are on Eastern time).
So let us know if the event is on Friday night and we need to arrange a way to leave earlier...
hi marcia,
I'll be driving from n.c. on friday for sat. event. hoping to get in around 8:00p.m. not sure what time you all are getting togeather. if that time is not to late put me & a friend down, please let me know the details!!!
I'm so excited it's my first event with stampin' up!!! I would love to meet some of the great & inspiring people on this website!!! you all have helped me be a better stamper & kept me inspired!!! thank you.

Yeah thanks for doing this! Saw that Kelli (ktja0227) already responded that we will be there. We could do a Friday night meetup as we will be there then! First time for me so excited!!! Give us details on the show box swap so I can get busy Stacey
Since I live so close to Atlanta, I wasn't going to get a hotel room. I was going to drive to Atlanta Saturday morning. And it looks like some people will be driving up Friday and won't get in until late. Is it possible to do a gathering Saturday evening? I'm not sure for those who are going on Friday when they're leaving.
If the get together is going to be on Friday, I may be able to come. I'll just have to make the drive twice or something. But let us know -- thanks for organizing everything!
I'm going to the Saturday session, but I'm flying in from Raleigh, NC just for the day so I will miss whatever wonderful event you have planned. Boo Hoo!
But, I hope to see you all during the session! Maybe we could all print out our user ID for SCS on an Avery label and stick it on our name tag that SU provides? Just an "identifying" idea!

Sorry I wasn't updating last night, but I had to watch Alias (see my avatar ). Of course, my boys wanted to watch American Idol and DH wanted to watch CSI: NY so...
I've added Kelli (ktja0227), Stacy (crazy4stampin), Hope, Vicki, Cindy, & Sandra. Hope & Vicki were added to Friday since I thought they were with you, Barbara. JLMK if that's not correct.
Regarding our plans, that's what I'm working on now. Friday night I think would be best because at least we know for certain that some of the Friday ladies can attend. If we do it on Saturday, they probably won't stick around just to see our cute faces
I'm not positive about the shoe box swap yet, only because I'm trying to find a place, and way, that we can stamp. I'm checking into a hospitality suite/meeting room, but that's going to cost us money.
And I just got the list of restaurants yesterday, so I'll start the calling today. If anyone has a way of getting free rooms at one of the hotels close to the Georgia World Congress Center
(285 Andrew Young International Boulevard, NW Atlanta 30313), let me know! ;) I know that's how the San Antonio ladies have room to stamp. Otherwise, I'll keep checking. It will take a couple of days to get the details ironed out, but I'm working on it, never fear!
My plans are definitely dinner and swapping. I'd like our reservations to be around 6pm so we can get our food at a decent time. Whenever I travel with DH and it's a dinner similar to what we're planning, the group ends up getting their food about 1 1/2 hours after they're seated.
I'm going to run to the grocery store to pick up some meds and I'll be back in just a bit. I'll start calling the restaurants then.
I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! I know I know I know I want to meet you! To meet you!
I''' be there on Saturday! Where's everyone staying? I'll be coming down Friday afternoon and would love to hook up with you guys! My SCS name is sjb. Plese count me in!!
