Kathi, I'm so glad you were able to join in on all our crazy fun!lol Can't wait until out next get together.:mrgreen:
I just got up from my nap and I'm still feeling oh so tired still, but at least my headache in now gone. Now I just need to start thinking about dinner.
Brian's eye is starting to look better, still swollen, but he hasn't had ice on it for several hours now and it hasn't gone back up. The meds must have kicked in. Hoping most of the swelling will be gone tomorrow since he has a reading test to do at school. Poor monster boy!
Cross referencing the lodging post for the Ft. meade shoebox swap
I'm putting this on several threads so I can get the word out!
Hello Everyone;
I am working on getting discounted lodging for the Ft. Meade shoebox swap.
We have a Fairfield Inn that is on route 1 in Laurel, approximately 10-12 miles from Ft. Meade. I have contacted the hotel to inquire about a special group rate on rooms for either one or both knights of this weekend. (I just know you guys want to hang around and visit our great stamp stores!)
The link to the hotel can be found here.. Right now a room with 2 double beds (free internet, breakfast, all the nice stuff) is $109.90 or you can get a King suite for the same price. I'll let you guys know the rates and information on reservations once they are made available to me.
Feel free to email or call me with any questions. Lets have a great time and get this shoebox swap filled up!
Sounds good Loretta! Plus anyone is welcome to stay at my house, have an air mattress and who knows might even have a sofa bed by then.lol Plus the kids can rough it in one room.he he
I'm going to place a SU order on Aug 15th if any of you are in need of anything. There are several new stamp sets that are on sale for 15% off, if you want the list just let me know and I can give it to you.
Hello everyone, again this will be a cross post between many threads so I can get the word out.
The Fairfield Inn (I quoted an incorrect rate of 109.99 a night it was actually 149.99) if we book 10 rooms (either two queen or one king) we will get the rooms for $99.00 a night. A signifiant savings. It include a 10% discount for Applebee's resturant, 24/7 security. Free internet, work out facilities,etc. There are lots of great resturants and shops near the facility.
The reservations must be made for "The sisterhood of the traveling stampers". (Don't laugh, I like the name, My DH came up with it!):rolleyes: You must call the Laurel hotel directly to book. You must quote the name exactly to get the great rate.
I hope you guys will join us for a fantastic swap!:mrgreen:

gotta have a catalog to look at first! ;) I am trying to DL from the site to tide me over until the one you send arrives, but It's stuck on page 35.

Which ones are on sale?
Do you want this decor elements flower thing that was in the decor elements flyer that came out a couple weeks ago? I have no use for it.

In case nobody knew.. the AC Moore on Ritchie Highway is gone. I wanted to pick up some 12x12 DP for a swap I am doing and Lo and behold.. its a big ole empty store.
ended up 'settling' for something I may be able to make work from Joanns. and I hate the two Michael's closest to me...
I hope everyone is doing well. I got a great email from Photo Scraps in Eldersburg -- but for some reason the system isn't allowing me to put the url in for you guys to see it, they have some awesome specials going on, and I'lll be glad to forward you the email, just email me at [email protected]

It moved down the road! Go north towards 97 and it's in the same shopping center as ALDIs (did I spell that right?) It's the last shopping center on the right. If you want company I might be able to Thursday evening. . . .

I have it ready to mail out tomorrow when I take the kids to their school appts.:mrgreen:
oh BLISS!!!! I need me some happy mail. DH got the official word: 8 months in a dry and sandy place..and he'll be gone right after Hallowe'en.
why no, I didn't want to spend our first Christmas in our new home together, why do you ask?! :rolleyes: ;)
I should be grateful he will still be around for our tenth anniversary next month, right? AND that he will still be around( BARELY) to take me to Cirq on 31 October.
How does the Army handle Promotions in theater? DH will be putting on O4 while he is there so I won't be able to pin his shiny new Oak leaves on....

really? there wasn't even a poster in the window to say that they had moved... and Maggie the GPS only had the other two that are like 20 miles away.
I will have to let DH know. I do plan on one huge in store shopping spree before he runs off to save the universe.

I feel your pain. We just found out my DH will leave right after Christmas for 6 months. I am thankful he will (hopefully) be here for our first Christmas in a long time this far from our family.
last time DH deployed was like 4 years ago, so he's due for one. besides, it's pretty much a requirement now for Navy Officers to do at least one IA..it's actually getting to the point where it's part of their rotation between duty stations now.
I'd rather get it over with sooner rather than be stuck in limbo waiting for the other shoe to drop....

Don't worry Jennifer, you have your stamping family here to support you.

Oh that's great! That means you should be able to come to the shoebox swap. Do you have any friends in the neighborhood you would like to invite? If so let me know and I'll add your names.

Wow, your DH is Navy and has been home alot. Good for you.
yeah but he hasn't been IN the Navy.. after he got home from the last deployment, he went to NPS for 27 months.. so while it was a Navy base..it certainly wasn't the real Navy. and now we are on an Army base for the last 18.. sorry guys, but Olive drab isn't my style.. I need Haze Grey! ;)
I mean the last time we visited his Sister in Chesapeake i made him drive me to the base so I could see we really DID have a sea going Military still!! hehehheeh
when he was enlisted he was ALWAYS underway...and when we lived in Japan right after he commissioned he was never home. He really wants sea duty after we leave here.. cuz that will be his last chance.. after that..it's the Big chair in the Boss's Office for him....
