Whoa Girlfriends! This is for fun. No need to demand vendor exclusion! Everyone please try to use your nice stuff and let's all see what can be created! No vendor restrictions is my vote :)

I am open to any and all stamps, I just started collecting Whipper Snapper, High Hopes, and Rubbernecker stamps, and love them all. I vote for any and all stamps.

I just got caught up on the thread...I have been doing work these past couple of days..(no really, I have!!)..I am so glad this is going well!!! We are going to have a GREAT time!!!!! As for the stamps everyone uses.....STAMPIN UP ONLY!!!.....LMAO....Just kidding...I don't care what you use....stamps a stamp right???

:twisted: If I had the ability to attach those little animated smilie's from here, I would STAMP SU right on your little forehead! LOL I love SU, but it is nice to experiment.
My DH says, What? put out 250.00 to reserve a big room when you dont even know anyone is going to come? I said, yeah, well at least if no one else comes Lynette and Sara and I will have LOTS of room to spread out and work.

TGIF - have a good one!

WooHoo!! We could make a GINORMOUS mess!!!

I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!
it is going to be GREAT to meet everyone!!!!!

I can do that even without a lot of extra room :)

bumping for the evening crowd

Hi Ladies! I am interested in coming to Pigeon Forge - can you add my name to the list? I would probably need a room to myself - I will ask a friend of mine if she would be interested in coming with me! Should I reserve a room now? Sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Welcome aboard! Yes, registration is open at the hotel now. You can reserve anytime you wish. I will add you to the overnight, let me know who your friend is and I will add her as well. If you wish to participate and in any of the swaps, let me know which ones you want to be signed up for. JSYK you do not HAVE to sign up for any organized activies. YOu are welcome to work on your independent projects. Please follow the instructions on Post #1 attachment to get our special group rate and be sure we get credit for the room.

Good afternoon everyone!

good afternoon Ellen. :) and goodafternoon to all of the ladies, anyone getting excited for our trip? LOL :)

I am interested in your get-together, but I can't make a definite decision yet- March is kinda far out there for me at this point, KWIM? I have a friend who is interested in coming as well.

good evening ladies. hope everyone had a great saturday. :)

I put you on the list. Once you decide for sure make sure to sign up for one or more optional swaps if you are so inclined. I am getting excited! I cant wait to meet everyone:)

GOOD MORING MY TN FRIENDS. :) 7 more months. :)

I guess I should say good morning to all. Some of you might not be from TN. SORRY :P

Most of us ain't neither :roll: LOL
But we knew what ya meant GF:)

LOL I hear you. I guess I should just say afternoon LADIES. That way it covers everyone. :)

Yeah, you know I was thinking the other day.....is SCS restricted to ladies or do we just assume we all are?

that is too funny, my husband asked me the same question a couple of weeks ago. LOL I said I just figure it is. but hey you never know. :)

Over the years I have only heard of a couple guys on this site, so I just assume we're all girlies!

Well, that's good to know due to some of the discussions I have seen on the threads :)

Good Monday morning ladies!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

Ladies,

Jamie sent me the cutest snowmen for my swap. Oh my she said she will be bringing her collection to our weekend. We are going to be truly blessed to be able to play with these. I have been in a closest to the stamping world for 5 years and I have just realized that there is more than just 1 company. WOW!!!!
Thanks Jamie for sharing. I will bring my few that I am collecting. One of my favorites is Impression Obsession's Rest Relax and Enjoy. It has a reading chair, bathrobe, slippers, and a bathtub.
Janet

I am also just getting caught up on the thread. I was catching up on swaps. NVR is my vote.
Janet

I will be bringing some tools to share too. Just make sure your name is on everything so we dont get stuff mixed up and someone come up missing items.

I have no clue as to what to bring.....paper, scissors, rock anyone?? LOL

I think my shoebox will include a grommet or something so will bring Crop II and probably bring cuttlebug too. That may give some newbies a chance to try something they have heard about and not seen. Not sure. Those are my only tools!

This sounds wonderful! My only problem is my anniversary is March 9th--25 years!!!! So, I expect that my hubby and I will be busy that weekend! LOL!!
Thanks to Nikki1578 for the invitation. I'll subscribe to the thread just in case we decide to do something before or after that weekend.
Sam

What about paper cutter, scissors, glue, tape......etc....

I am doing this from memory, so l might forget something.

In my travel bag I have:

scissors
bone folder
glue
tape runner
pop dots
glue dots
paper cutter
hole punch
black journal pen

Then the night before I pack several punches that are small.

If I know me, and I do, I will have my minivan packed with everything I own. We have a monthly scrap at our library one a month, and I always take too much stuff, they all laugh at me. I am hoping to get more Whipper Snapper stamps before March, right now, my hubby has cut my spending off because of my surgery on the 3rd, but as soon as I heal up, boy he better watch out, lol!!!!

Jamie

Thank you....that helps me alot!!! I have never been to a swap or a scrap night or anything....(whining tone)....I don't know anyone down here to scrap with!!! I need to get out more!! LOL

Lynette won't let me have a bone folder, she said I should just keep using my popsicle stick! Whine whine

Well I use all kinds of things since my bone folder often sprouts legs and walks off, lol.

Jamie

A credit Card works great too. Why spend $6.00 on something that you can spend $3.00 for a whole box of and eat on a hot summer evening. Then you have 12.
Janet

That's one way to look at it, lol.

Glad to see the new avatar Janet, I like to put a face to who I am talking to, I need to update mine, but right now my hair is soooo insane!!!! It came back in kinda curly, but very unruly, so as soon as I get a good one, will change it.
