Hey ladies! I've been off the radar for quite a while on SCS. Life happened in a BIG way to our family in the last year. But my obsession for Splitcoast and stamping has pulled me back in a big way.

I'd LOVE to get together!!! We just moved to South Weber - just north of Layton, so it sounds like it'll be really close for me. Let me put the word out to my old SU group (i'm not a demo anymore) and see if any of them wanna come hang out.

Just keep me posted on the deets!!!

Welcome Melissa- We missed you at the last 2 swaps but am excited that you get to come to this one. Mark your calendar and be prepared to have a blast!

Friday Bump!! Come and join us.

Didn't want this to get lost! I'm off to the SU convention tomorrow! I'll check in when I get back.
Melisa

I talked with ameliaharris99 yesterday. She said she might consider coming along with me if it is up North somewhere.

Still working on location.

Bumping thread for more swappers. ALL welcome.

I can do the 29th! I'd be glad to do a crockpot dish or whatever is needed. Any rules on the "value" of the door prizes? I've never been to one before so I just want to make sure I don't make a fool of myself. ;-)

Welcome KJ!

There is no set value for the doorprizes. We have had paint cans, stamp sets, Scrap pads, Misc put togethers (pen, notebook, matching whatever, etc.), we have had soo many fun prizes it is hard to list them all. You won't make a fool of yourself no matter what you bring.

I will put you down for a main dish and then we will ask around to see what else we need. Thanks for volunteering and reminding me I need to ask around for that.

:)

Any location information yet? It would be great if it were in Roy, Clearfield, etc...........
Melisa

I can bring a dessert.

Thanks scrapshappen.. I have you down for a dessert.

No meeting place yet Missi.. Do you know of any?

I just got back from convention this afternoon. I'm totally beat! I will rack my brain for a location tomorrow after I get some sleep (in my own bed!)
Melisa

I can bring whatever is needed for food, door prizes, etc. I've got NUM retired sets (cute), I just got a big order from Frugalities with all kinds of goodies.

As for location--did everyone say that they were NOT opposed to having it at an LDS church? I could probably very easily schedule the building where we used to attend in Layton and it's about a minute and a half off of I-15.

Just LMK and I can work on that if you need me to.

How can we get the word out to more people? I know there's a ton of Utah SCSers. Is there a way that we could get a list or something of all the gals who live here? Don't want to invade privacy, just want to extend the invite to everyone and let them choose whether to come or not. I know this "Get it together" section doesn't get a whole ton of traffic. Any ideas?

I am here in Layton and can most likely get the building here but I was going to try to see if we couldn't head into Weber county..

As far as advertising we can put it in our signatures and call friends. Other than that, I can't think of much.

I can bring a salad/dessert. Cookie monster salad, so it kind of counts for both!

Elana- I will put you down for a dessert, unless you tell me it would be more like a salad.. (singing the jeopardy theme song as I wait for your reply.)

Layton would be fine for me, if everyone else is OK with that. I'll bring a snack (chips and salsa or chips and dip, something like that)
Melisa

Hey guys,

Tanya and I will bring drinks and a snack tray (cheese and crackers or something similar). Looking forward to it.

Thanks Camie and Tanya!

Bumping.

Any news on a location?
Melisa

Where are all you Utah stampin' girls?!?

Bumping and wondering about location? What about the senior center in Roy? I'm not sure if they rent the place out or would let us use it but it might be worth asking.

Any news on a location?
Melisa

Called a few places with no luck so I called our building scheduler for the church here in Layton. She should get back to me a little later today..

It is pretty easy to get to. Missi- It is the same one we met at to carpool down to Springville.

The other thing that would be good if we did it there is no time constraint if we are not done.

Do we know what time yet? My son has a football game that morning, so I was just wondering if there's going to be a conflict. :confused:

Camie. Have you guys gotten your football schedule yet? Layton City is a little slow in getting the schedule out and so we won't know what time our games are until then but I was planning on skipping his game if needed to.. I guess the question is to all.

WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT TO GET TOGETHER?

Do we want to meet a little later in the day to accommodate some of the morning activities? Like around 1:00 or 1:30? If we have fifteen people I would imagine it we will need about 3-4 hours to do all the projects, correct? So, maybe 1:00- 5:00?
Missi

1-5 works for me but then do you think we will still need the pot luck if it is after lunch time??

Come ladies. We need some input here, please.

bumping

If we did 1-5 p.m., I wouldn't think we'd need lunch, but we could still do potluck snack/treats/munchies.

I think I figured out yesterday what my project is going to be! Thanks for putting this together for us!

Paula

We ALWAYS need goodies, right??

1-5 sounds good--DS has soccer in the a.m. and that still leaves time for everyone to get back to family for the evening.

Got a call back last night from the building scheduler and we have the primary room booked for our use. The directions are easy and I will e-mail them in September for those who might nieed it but I believe the address is 13?? W 1600 N in Layton. If you turn down 1600 from main street the church is on the left, you can't miss it.

We need to decide on the time that will work for all.. I think the options would be 12-4 or 1-5 since it sounds like most have ball games of sorts in the morning.

I will be sending out a PM somtime today to ask EVERYONE what time works for them and also to get a few more people to bring something for the pot luck. I am in agreement with Paula that we should still have munchies..

I vote for 1-5 with munchies! Now to think of a project................
Melisa

So far it is looking like 1-5.. I have had 3 people voice their opinion. There are 13 of us SO FAR. (more are welcome!)

Here I go to send out my PM..

1-5 sounds great to me.

Also, I can bring whatever is needed---I'm thinking we should have a lot of finger food type stuff so people can snack off and on throughout.

I could do a veggie tray---maybe have me and one other person cover that base and we'd be set.

Fun fun fun!

My DS doesn't do sports yet so whatever time is good for others is good for me. I will still bring cookies or something sweet to eat.

Also, I'll talk to my neighbor about maybe doing this too. I mentioned it to her, but it was kind of in passing.

Thanks again for all your work on this!

Paula

Hey guys.

1-5 would be perfect for me. I'll check with Tanya and see if that works for her. Now I need to figure out a project. I'm so excited!!!

Either time is good for me. How about I bring chips & salsa? And we have to have chocolate, so maybe some M&Ms or Hershey bars? I'll see what I can find. ;) OH, someone needs to be in charge of drinks...let's not forget that!

My project is already planned, just waiting for final numbers to get it ready. Can't wait! (Guess I should find a babysitter, too, huh?)
