Fourth Reisterstown, MD Shoebox Swap - Saturday, 27 September 2008
 

Hi stampers!

Following what seems to be my tradition of hosting a Shoebox Swap during Cindy's "off month", I'm happy to announce that the next Reisterstown Shoebox Card Swap will be held on Saturday, 27 September, from 9am-3pm, at All Saints' Episcopal Church. There's room for 25 people, with each person bringing a shoebox swap for everyone to make, and a snack, beverage, or dessert to share. There will be a $7.50 charge, payable in advance, to cover the rental of my church hall.

If, as last time, we have a smaller number of participants than 25 ( say fewer than 18 ), we'll each bring two shoebox swaps, so that we'll end the day with a nice collection of cards. That seemed to work well in April :)

All cards are to be full cards. There's no theme for the swap, but please bring enough supplies for everyone to make your card, including all cardstock, stamps, inks, embellishments, and tools. Include one sample, along with stamping and assembly instructions, in your shoebox. Envelopes are optional. Please make sure that all of your supplies are labeled with your name or initials, in case items tend to wander during the day. (How do they do that?....) In addition to your shoebox containing your card kits and supplies, bring your own adhesive, bone folder, and scissors to use throughout the day. All cards should be made using Stampin' Up! stamps, cardstock, papers, and inks. The stamp sets and ink/cardstock/paper colors can be current or retired ones. No restrictions on embellishments.

Please sign up via this on-line thread if you'd like to join us. Tell a friend, too! When you sign up, indicate if you can bring either a beverage, snack, or dessert to share. I'll provide ice and pizza for lunch, along with the paper products and cups. Then please send your $7.50 fee, along with the following info (your name, SCS name, email address & phone #) to Cathy Eller, 3507 Oxwed Court Westminster, MD 21157. [Sorry there's no registration form attached; my computer is new, and I can't seem to figure out how to work my WORD 2007 application.] I'll confirm your seat once I receive your payment. If you find that you have to cancel after you've paid, I'll return your money only if I'm able to fill your seat with someone else.

Thanks! I hope many of you can join us for a fun day of stampin'! Cathy

Whoohoo, I made it...sign me up please. Your last event was relaxing and fun. Can't wait for this one.
JoAnn

Sign me up. I will get a check out to you today. I will bring something we can snack on all day. Unless there is something else that you need me to bring! Can't wait!!

JoAnn, Lisa - I've got you on the list! Lisa, I saw your post on Cindy's thread regarding her 23 August swap. If you haven't been to one of hers before, you'll get to meet a lot of "her followers" at my swap. I promise you'll have fun and meet a great group of stampers! Look forward to meeting you. Cathy

Vera, Donna - I got your payments yesterday - thanks so much. And Vera, the card you sent is beyond gorgeous - it's so elegant! Thank you. And of course I must know - where did you get the "thank you for..." stamp - custom made? See you soon - Cathy

My payment went postal today Cathy. I will bring a snack of some sort, not sure what yet....
JoAnn

I will have to look it up when I get back home, Cathy.

Greetings from Salt Lake City!

Vera

Cathy, I mailed my check today. I didn't get to the post office yesterday.

Just got back from a college campus visit to Rutgers with my daughter. Found some payments in the mail, and have updated the list. Thanks ladies! Cathy

More payments received - thanks, everyone! I'm still hoping to fill the last four seats. I've sent messages to a few stampers I know - if you have a friend you'd like to invite, go right ahead! We've already got a good group, so I know it'll be a great stampin' day. Cathy

Count me in!
 

Cathy, please count me in. I had such a great time and learned so much last time. Lynn

So glad to hear from you, Lynn - you're on the list! Cathy

Cathy,
my friend Pat would like to attend. I sent you an e-mail about her. I will bring muffins.
thanks
Brenda

Brenda - I'll add her to the list - thanks. I wasn't sure if she was a definite; I sent her an email with some swap details, but I haven't heard from her. I'll make sure she has a spot! Cathy

Thanks for adding me Cathy
 

I put my payment in the mail today, and I will bring a snack of some sort. Lynn

Just a quick Monday morning bump :)

Swap is full - will take names for waitlist
 

Well I'm excited! The Reisterstown swap is now full with 25 stampers - this is a first for me! There are some new folks on the list; from work, from Splitcoast, and friends of previous swappers. How fun! I'll begin a waiting list for others who may be interested, and will post more info about the swap as the date gets closer. Thanks, everyone!!! :) :) :)

My DH has been running around doing the same with our youngest DD. (Eldest DD is out of college already, yeah!)

On a sadder note, on Monday we had to say goodbye to our fur baby, Amber. She was 14 years old and we just discovered terrible cancer all through her liver and spleen.

Theresa - I'm sorry too, to hear about Amber. I know it's hard - I just got a new puppy last week, nearly 15 months after our beagle Casey died. It took me a while to be ready for a new one. I now have a new beaglette, Bailey, and I had forgotten just how entertaining new puppies can be :) I won't be feeding her any of our people puppy chow, though! Take care, Cathy
