Thanks for posting this, Arlene. I'd been meaning to get over there before April 30 but that never happened.

til when?

If it's sold then it could be open for years...

SWAP UPDATES:

All swap counts are finalized. Please check those counts on Page 1.

If you believe that you are in/not in a swap in error, please let me know right away. Thanks.

Linda, for the shoebox shall we make 20 kits plus 4 completed samples plus oopsie extras?

?20?. i thought we were each making all shoeboxes. don't we need 30 +oopies extas? i'm lost

No! Stop!

Arlene has it right. There will be three tables of ten and Everyone will be at two tables -- one in the morning and another in the afternoon. So...

SHOEBOX PROJECTS: Please prepare 20 packets (+4 completed), which should leave one for just in case (unless the creator opts to make her own project in the a.m.). You should have 19 cards/projects at the end of the day. It's always wise to have some extras of "parts" for just in case as well.

I will also post this on page 1 so it's easily found.

oh i got it now! WE ARE MAKING 20 OUT OF 30
i'm slow on the up take~ sorry

This is the information I received from XPedX.

Nancy,

We are closing all of our store locations in New York with the exception of East Syracuse; this location is being
sold (it will continue to operate under xpedx until the end of this month).
It will reopen in June under the name Arvey (keeping the same address and
phone number, it will just operate separate from xpedx under a new owner;
they will still carry the same products), you will probably have to get
re-established with them at that point.
Xpedx Paper & Graphics
6504 Basile Rowe

IF you just assumed I would join ... don't change it and I will be glad to join so your numbers aren't messed up. KWIM?? Let me know either way.

Tonight it's date night in Syracuse...Dinosaur BBQ and Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert!

Tomorrow I start figuring out what I'm doing for swaps...maybe using stamps from last weekend's shopping spree...

we love TSO. i hope you enjoy them

Have fun, Arlene!

TSO..."The Flight of the Bumblebee" with electric guitar and violin...WOW!

matthew loves the ele violin

I was scoring and folding RW&B gate folds but then I started folding laundry because DH said he needed socks and THEN I was sucked into the black hole called a computer...

sweet name, any pics??? Congrats

Back from my Bermuda cruise! Just got the count for each, I better get a move on!! I still have my sealegs!

:D

Do tell about the Bermuda cruise, Amy! Did you go snorkeling? I'm always looking for good snorkeling spots.

Nothing done with my swaps but I did make a birthday card and put together a set of cards from recent shoeboxes to give to my SIL plus I made a congrats card for our nephew and wrapped up Boy Scout scrapbook paper and stickers that I found on sale and have been saving for a year to give to him. He moved up from Cubs to Boy Scouts last month. That's been on my mind for weeks so it's good to have those packages ready to ship out tomorrow. Laundry's almost done, too. DH just finished the first lawn mowing of the year. Last night I put out the hummingbird feeder so I'm waiting for my first sighting.

I have my first RW&B sample done! Now to cut, stamp, assemble and emboss.

ahead of me

I'm working my 125 wedding invites..... UGH. I may NEVER do this again. ONE complete sample ready for pick-up in the morning. It should be exactly what she wants ... except for picking an embossing folder for one piece. I gave her a few options for that.

Good luck with that, Nancy! Have your parents arrived?

He, who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone from California would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

The things that come to those who wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Karen's on.

Karen's back! Are you all better now, Karen?

OMG yes!!! Since last Tuesday. There's some problem everyday. Phone calls to doctors, therapists, insurance, medicare, hair appts. etc. I know I shouldn't complain...
