PA Let�s get together! Saturday, December 1st.
 
Stamp, Scramp, and Be Merry!
PA/NJ/DE/MD SplitCoastStampers Gathering
Saturday December 1, 2007 from 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
Dunn Community Center in Exeter, Pennsylvania (directions below)
Easily accessible from PA Routes 222, 30, 422, 81, and the PA Turnpike
Join us for a day of stamping and scrapping fun!

Cost- $15 per person ($16 via PayPal). Your registration fee must be paid for by Friday, November 2nd. There are no refunds after this date. You may pay via PayPal by using a debit card, credit card, or PayPal existing funds. You may also mail a check if you prefer. Please contact me when you are ready to sign up and I will provide my PayPal address or my mailing address.

Lunch- Lunch and beverages will be provided. Please bring a snack to share. It can be something you make or purchase. You do not need to bring an enormous amount of food, just enough to share with 8-10 people! Something like chips, cookies, or brownies will be great!

Make & Take-
We will be creating a holiday themed make and take project. I will post a supply list closer to the event date. It will definitely be something fun!

Gift Swap- Please bring a wrapped gift, valued at around $5 to swap. It can be something you make or purchase. Stamped projects are always appreciated! These gifts will be swapped �Yankee Trader� style. Please be sure to include your real name and SCS name somewhere so the lucky recipient can know what talented stamper to thank.

Yard Sale- There will be large tables set up for a buy/sell/trade area. It�s a great way to get rid of a few things and pick up some new goodies! All items must be priced and any buying/selling/trading will be the table owner�s responsibility. Just remember certain companies have policies regarding the buying and selling of their merchandise. Please be sure to abide by those rules. If you are interested in a table, please let me know when you register so I can make sure there will be enough tables.

Fabulous Nametag Contest- Make and wear a 4�x 6� nametag with your name and your SCS name so we know you on sight. Get creative and make something fabulous! The best nametag will win a special prize! This is also a fun way to learn everyone�s names!

Stamp for a Cause- Please create one card to send to the troops via the SplitCoastStampers Stamp Your Heart Out Campaign. The inside of the card must be left BLANK, but the design of the card is up to you! Each card should be placed with an envelope inside a clear Ziploc bag. If you wish to create more than one card, go for it! All cards will be collected at the check-in table. For more details check here.

Other Stuff � Please bring your own items for your personal stamping and scrapbooking needs, especially your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can�t stamp without! Please be sure to label your items if you feel it is necessary.

I know I am super excited to meet some new scrapbooking and stamping friends (and meet some of my SCS friends in person) and I�m sure you are too! Be sure to come out on December 1st. I know we will have a fabulous time!

Remember to register and pay by Friday, November 2nd!!

For any questions and to register please contact me via PM.

Happy Stamping!

Yes, you have until November 2nd to sign up! I realize it's far away I just want to get the information out there early since that time of year can be SO busy!

BrandiP 09-07-2007 11:01 AM

I forgot to say, Happy Birthday Kim! :)

Littlekel90 09-07-2007 11:22 AM

Thanks for the invite Brandi! I will have to let you know in a late October or early November. It is a little too soon to know my schedule as well. Definitely subscribing to keep this in the forefront though! Sounds like fun! :D

Thanks for letting me know, I am going to see if I can go and see if some of my SCS friends around here would like to go!

Hulkabigtoe 09-07-2007 03:35 PM

Thanks for letting me know, but unfortunately, I work Saturdays and December is our big month! I hope you have lots of fun!

BrandiP 09-07-2007 05:28 PM

Wow! I'm so shocked by how many people have already committed to coming! That's awesome! Bringing friends is fine! The more the merrier!

Mary, I will definitely use your help! I'll let you know closer to the date. Thank you for offering!

If anyone wants to add the thread link to their signature (Caroline's idea!) go ahead! We are going to have a great group!

mullycat 09-10-2007 08:37 AM

Yippee! (bump!)

BrandiP 09-10-2007 12:12 PM

So Sharon is definitely in! I totally think meeting up with some new and different people will be a good spark for all of us. Nothing like seeing somebody do something new and exciting to get you creating again!

Annek 09-10-2007 01:16 PM

Woo hoo - a get together for the Mid-Atlantic!!!!!!!!!! Yea! I am sure I'll be able to go, just need to check my schedule! Subscribing to thread.

:-) Anne

BrandiP 09-11-2007 04:31 AM

Awesome! You're pretty close too, Anne!

juliev6868 09-12-2007 01:55 PM

We are moving to Thorndale, PA in mid-October! Is that close to your location?? I'll see how things are going as we approach November and I'll let you know! I would love to come - it sounds like so much fun!!

BrandiP 09-13-2007 08:24 AM

Hi Julie! Thorndale is about 45 minutes from Exeter, where the get together is being held. Pretty close by PA standards! Wow, are you moving from Florida!? What a change that will be!

BrandiP 09-13-2007 08:25 AM

Sharon your check arrived Tuesday! Just wanted to let you know it got here! Thanks for paying so quickly! If anyone else is waiting on me to send them the address for payments, please send me a PM. I've been under the weather all week and I'm sure I've been forgetting things!

.....and she's only going to be moving 10 miles from where I live! Woo hoo!

Julie - I sent you a PM!

Anne

Annek 09-13-2007 08:32 AM

Ok Brandi, I had to laugh at myself. I didn't read your second post about the Dunn Center being in Reading. I was looking up Exeter, PA on my Microsoft Maps & it was giving me a location like up in the Poconos. LOL - I kept thinking "how does she think I am CLOSE??" ha ha! When I enter the Reading address, yep - it shows I am 40 min away! Silly me!!!

:-) Anne

juliev6868 09-13-2007 08:44 AM

I'm so happy I found you guys!! Thanks for the PM, Anne! I can't believe we'll be so close! It looks like about a 45 minute drive for me, which isn't too bad! Yay!! I am sooooooo looking forward to getting settled in PA. S. Florida is nuts and I feel like I live on the sun - it's too hot!!

BrandiP 09-13-2007 08:52 AM

I have no idea why that happened Anne! I use google maps even thought I have Microsoft Streets and Trips on the computer. I was going to mention that Anne was really close to you Julie! Looks like she beat me to it! Anne will have to be your personal guide to the little stamp/scrapbook shops in the area. It will be a short tour, there are only a few! But still isn't it nice to know someone before you even move here!?

LOL - it was my own doing Brandi for getting the mixup about Exeter!! It's called 'I need to read ALL the information first!'.

:-) It will be nice to have a fellow stamper close by! It seems all of my stamping buddies either don't stamp anymore or just don't do any get togethers.

Uh oh! Did Kris, Kara, and I get you sick too now? :( Hope you feel better! That *thing* that's going around is rough. Dan still has it. Ugh!

I'm getting excited about this get-together. It'll be fun! :)

BrandiP 09-14-2007 05:13 AM

Maybe that is where it came from! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out where I picked it up! I thought it was the little kids at work, but it was your family Denise! Just kidding! It was most likely some kids from work, somebody sneezed on me on Monday.

Anyways, I thought I should get a sign up list up, since I've gotten so many commitments to come! If I omitted you, please let me know! You have until November 2nd to pay, just PM me if you still need my address or paypal email!

mullycat 09-17-2007 09:08 AM

Mailed my check to you today, Brandi!

P.S. Yay - Annek is coming!!!

peanutbee 09-17-2007 09:29 AM

Hi Brandi, I dropped money off to you today...left it at the desk for you. :)

Hope all you all have a great day. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. :)

Thanks Denise! I got your money today! I left you a voicemail, not sure if your phone is working. I'll send you a message too! Thanks Caroline for mailing your check!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Monday!
