[spoiled stamper]

I just want to extend a GREAT BIG thank you to those of you that could make it!! I am amazed at how much we can learn from each other. Of course because of all the new information I'll be placing another *large* order with SU!!!! :shock: :shock:

As we talked about, I will have another get-together in January. Hope to see you all and hopefully some new faces.


We will have to post our shoe box swaps on this link...

Thanks!!!

Oh it looks like you guys were having a great time. Can't wait to see uploads of the cards that you did. How Fun !!!

Thanks for sharing.

[stampintlw]

Thanks again, Val, for hosting this event! I had an AWESOME time and can't wait til January!!

[spoiled stamper]

Here are 5 of the shoe box swaps we did. I can't find the last card - Anyone have the sample to share?

Thanks!
Val

[stampinmarni]

it looks like it was fun! wish i could have come... where did you meet? i am sounth of d.c. about 45 minutes...

[spoiled stamper]

we met in the Milford area - central Delaware. I am about 1.5 hours from DC. We met in my "Craft Cottage", an *extra* apartment on our property. All stamping all the time !!

We are doing this again in January then every couple of months. It was a BLAST!

Val

[cookiestamper]

Wow- looks like you all had fun! I keep hearing about these "shoe box swaps". How do they work?

[spoiled stamper]

You just make a card/gift. Then you fill a "shoe box" with enough materials for everyone to make your sample. It was just great! You can see how we got lots of different ideas!

[cookiestamper]

Ahhhhh.... I see. That's sorta what we do when I get together with friends.

[iris]

Looks like everyone had fun!
Your cottage looks awesome, thanks for sharing your pic's of all the smiling faces!

[Jovi]

Thanks for sharing all the great pics, looks like you all had a wonderful time!

[parisotremba]

Looks like fun!! WISH I HAD A "CRAFT COTTAGE"! Wasn't in fun meeting everyone in person!!!!!

Us girls in MN are getting together next weekend. I can't wait!

[bluehenstamper]

Thanks, Val! I had such a great time and my poor head is still spinning from all that I learned. I just wish that I hadn't had such a migraine. My only regret is that I left my cheesecake in your fridge... OMG...that was really, really good cheesecake!!!

I came home, decided to re-capture the "playroom" that the kids never use, and make myself a stamp room.

Oh, the best part, I had a demo today, so I took my new coaster with me to show--on the way out the door, my DH dropped it and it broke. Guess that's what I get for hiring cheap help!! Keep in touch, ladies, it was so great to meet everyone!!

[stampintlw]

Here are 2 more cards we made.

[spoiled stamper]

Thanks Tracy!!

[catlady1]

Hi, your pictures are great. I go to my su demonstrater's house once a month for a stamp club, she has the same idea where she has everything ready for different cards or boxes etc. so we can learn new ideas etc. It's great fun to get together that often and see what everyone's doing.

[hionhim]

I got to thinking about our "proposed" get together in January and was hoping I hadn't missed it because (heaven forbid) I do not get on SCS on a daily basis and was worried I may have missed the post. I typed in Delaware in the search and VOILA, there was our picture on the big wide web!@! Looks like I haven't missed the January meeting. Thanks so much for having us...it was my first shoebox swap and I had so much fun getting to know everyone. I am having an open house for SAB on the 21 & 22nd of Jan. so I hope you don't schedule our get together that weekend...I will be so sad if I have to miss it. Are we still on?

[stampintlw]

I don't think Val has scheduled a date yet...although, it's good to know when your open house is! Mine will be Feb. 19, so that date is out for me! Val, let us know when we can come play!!

[spoiled stamper]

How does February 12th sound??? Or I could do January 29th instead. Just depends on how soon we want to get together to "play"!!

Thanks!
Val

[stampintlw]

The 29th may be better for me, but I'm open both days as of now.....
GETTING EXCITED!!!!!

[Wenfaye]

I am just in love with the craft cottage and especially that beautiful doggy in there. It looks like the kind of place most of us only dream of.... congrats on that !!

[hionhim]

February 12 is much better for me...I already have a commitment for Jan 29.

You should see her puppy Val- you should post a pic!!

[spoiled stamper]

Talked me into it! One of the baby and one of both my boys! They are so cute sleeping together!!

[chercher]

Gee, I live in maryland I'd love to come play too. If you are taking on more stampers please let me know. And if anyone is from Md. I'd love to carpool.
Thanks , Cher

[hionhim]

Where in Maryland do you live? As soon as Val sets the date, I'll see if it would work for us to carpool.

[chercher]

I live in Lisbon near Mt Airy. It's on 70 about halfway between Baltimore and Frederick. How about you.

[Lorstamps]

Hello Ladies! I missed out on the last one, but I would LOVE to make the next one!!! I've got a big group meeting on the 29th, but Feb 12th is wide open!

Val - LOVE your "boys" - the baby is just too cute!!!

Hope to hear from you soon!

[spoiled stamper]

The "official" date is February 12th!! Let the planning begin!

[stampintlw]

Let us know what we can do to help!

[HB]

Hey Spoiled Stamper - How much $$$ did Lana and the other Wisconsin girls pay you to wear that T-shirt??
Carol

[spoiled stamper]

No bribe needed!! I am from Wisconsin....go Bucky!!

[bluehenstamper]

February 12th. Hum...let's see. I don't know if my hubby will let me come over again. After the last one, my stinkin' wish list grew about a foot!!!

Ok, ok. I'll be there. I'll bring more chocolate, I guess. If I must.

I have to add that I'm the proud mommy of Smoky's sister, Abby, who is equally as adorable, I must say! I think that makes Val and I related some how.

[bluehenstamper]

Did I mention chocolate?

[hionhim]

Count me in!! I had such a great time before that I wouldn't miss it. Can I bring my new recruit and possibly another guest? What kind of goodies would you like us to bring? Are we doing another shoe box swap? I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again and hearing about everything you've been stampin'! Val the puppy is adorable.

[bluehenstamper]

the more the merrier, right? I'm all for another shoebox swap--it was so much fun! Looking forward to seeing everyone again (and meeting more new friends!) amy

[spoiled stamper]

Let's plan on doing another shoe box swap. More people are certainly welcome. Lets just try to firm up the number when the date gets closer.

Can't wait!
