Hi! I am cutting the last of my swaps now.. I gave the used items list on the last page..
Well, I did make a "snack" but it is not even a little healthy.. I made apple cider doughnuts tonight so I will be bringing them with me so we don't eat them.. They were terrific hot and I hope they will be just as good cold..
I am also bringing a door prize and a yankee gift. I ave a few things to do yet so I am not sure if I will be able to do swaps.. I have it all cut but I don' know if I will be able to put them together in time..
See you there!
Ok, I'm jsut printing the directions for my shoebox!! Unfortunately I couldn't get the picture to insert itself into the Word Perfect document.... but it's an easy card soI'm sure you'll all figure it out!
Here's my update (and I am sooooo excited I might not be able to sleep!):
Project 1
Packed (includes 1 plain sample and one fancy sample and printed instructions --- the pix is of the plain card but the words are for the fancy card)
Project 2
Packed with a sample ... typing directions after Numbers (mybe during it but I still have to use the other computer to print them)
Everything else I posted earlier (carafes, foodie goodie bags, various inkpads, stamp sets and Diamond Glaze to help others' projects move along faster.
Also, my DH baked about 2 dozen large choc chip cookies (yummy!) for me to bring.
I have 2 door prizes (one is about $5 and one is about $10). I dod go through my stamps for those I'm willing to part with but they are not packed so it depends on how much time I have in the morning.
And I have a makeshift nametag (not sure why but I never get moptivated to make a name tag).
Okay, hubby is watching something else on another tv so I amgoing to start typing instructions for Project #2 on the laptop.
Don't feel funny if you can't swap. I started mine but my day didn't go any where as I planned but I have two happy teenagers that I got thinks done for so that is better than doing the swap. My daughter is mad at my son though because I made her 6 of the bigger size muffins and he ate 5 of them before she got up this morning. The were the same muffins I made for tomorrow except there was no choc. chips. Oh, boy is she mad. Don't mess with her. I guess sometimes her healthy muffins are good. If you saw our MTV show you will know my son hates healthy food. Don't worry you won't even be able to tell that they are healthy. These are the best muffins I have ever made that are healthy.

Just printed instructions for Project 2 (with B&W photo 'coz we need a color cartridge).
Off to slip it in the bag my project boxes are in and also find some Ruby Red cs for Kari (I either have none or a lot; I love it with Handsome Hunter!)
Found two older cards (made by me) I can swap. Might do a quick look for more when i get the cs but I'm feeling tired and Tony does not understand the concept of the snooze buttion so he will be getting me out of bed shortly after 7AM!
Hey Bonbie! I just got to see the show online the other day but didn't watch the end so I can see you for myself! I haven't seen you since the last demo meeting you went to at Karens house! Hopefully you will inspire me!!
I am going to be with :
project 1
project 2
door prize
yankee gift..
doughnuts (yummy! I hope I wake up and they are still here! I can imagine a sugar trail leading to the other bedroom! lol)
I do not have any of the things for the other peoples projects or even my own tool bag packed! I hope I wake up early enough! I need to put the shower off till the AM also!
See you all soon!
donuts sound great.
up and waiting for kari.
i think i have everything but typed directions-i'm a stamper not a typist nor am i good on the 'puter.
my lovely dh is up and packing the car as i'm typing!
Cider donuts are my favorite at this time of year! YUM!
I realized at 10pm last night that I left all of my directions sitting in the printer at work. Bummer. So I redid the text, but my scanner was giving me grief, so no pics.
I've got my 2 projects, my swaps, Yankee gift swap, and 2 door prizes. Basic tool kit. Camera. Crockpot full of soup. Scrap computer paper. Extra white paper in case we have time at the end to use each other's stamps.
Hubby coming home from work shortly. We'll go out for breakfast, then on to the firehouse to set up. See you all there!!!!
I will am excited to see you. I was wondering if anyone was going that I really knew. I think you will be surprised at the way I look. Hope I can keep the weight off. Today will definately be my cheating day. Thanks for watching our show.
Can't wait to meet everyone.
Bonnie

Woo hoo! That was great everybody! Wonderful projects, such diversity of styles! And the food! Boy, we certainly didn't need to go out.
In the rush to pack up, someone left their ATG behind. PM me and we'll work out how to get it back to you.
The gals from Monroe: If you would, PM me with your SplitCoast names and your real names. If you're up for it, I would love to get together with you sometime. I can't believe you're so close to me.
Thanks Rochelle for getting this going, and to everyone who came from near and far. I had a great time.
Great time, great projects...thanks to everyone and to Rochelle for organizing.
I just realized as I was unpacking, I never put out the stapler and the green staples to close the Carmel Apple Kits....I am so sorry. Not sure how you all attached the toppers.
Well now I have a ton of cards for my blog and can post one a day for almost a month!
Thanks to everyone.
For everyone who asked...while I bought my tins from papertreyink...you can get them for a MUCH better price at : www.specialtybottle.com
Hope to see you all again IRL soon.
Diane

A great big hand to all Rochelle and everybody who planed the Swap. It was great and I am already looking forward to the next one. Don't forget, we can all stamp at my house on the 15th and the 29th. Thanks so much for Today, It was wonderful.
I have to agree. What a great day! I realized when I got home, I was so busy I didn't even get to the bathroom. Great projects. Great time. I loved getting to try new things. I'm sore and tired and have a back ache from bending over all day. Thanks to Rochelle and to everyone who made this happen.
Great day, great food, great company. Glad I got to meet all of you. I second or third that we need to get together again this winter. Are we able to rent the fire house again. If not, does anyone have any other ideas for a cheap and nice place to meet. You all were wonderful. I am not sure I said good-bye to everyone so that means I will have to see all of you again.
Diane, thanks for driving. It was so nice to meet you.
Deb, we really live to close not to get together. Please PM me when you are getting together with people to stamp.
To the girls who drove over 4 or 5 hours to be with us I really appreciate that. Your calendar was an awesome project. Now do I keep it or give it away??
Jan, it was nice to see you again. Especially in a different enviroment.
Rochelle, Thanks for getting this going. I FORGOT to give you my Beat the Winter Blues swap. Now I have to mail it, GRR.
Keep in touch every one.
Bonnie

LOL, I was thinking the same thing....do I keep the calendar or give it as a gift ... was thinking about giving it to my secret sister but not sure I want to give it away. I love it!
Deb and Bonnie, if you get together to stamp, let me know.

What a great day! I am exhausted from the non-stop action. Everyone's projects were great ... lots of variety. I especially enjoyed making the coaster calendar. I have always wanted to try one, but have been intimidated. Not any more!! :mrgreen:
Thank you all!
A special thanks to Rochelle and Kerry for making this happen!

He is always up for a roadtrip and he will turn it into a camping trip....if we don't make it in May I hope you have one in the summer also. Thank you so much for driving over 4 hours to stamp wth us
There were so many awesome projects! Thanks everybody for giving me so many ideas.

PLease let me know if you do not want yours sent out.
Ann, I hope I can make it to your next thursday's class. I've always wanted to try flocking.
Bonnie I woke up this morning and realized that you have to send me your swap anyways...waaaaaa
The day went by so quickly but what a fun filled day.
I did not get to take a lot of pictures but will see what I can upload.
i forgot to add, thanks to PeggyLo(smallpigig) from Canada....I totally CASEd her penguin card. I couldn't resist I love penguins. and i even bought that set because of her card.
since the house is quiet, I will finish the cards I did not get to and maybe take a picture of as many as I can and upload.........I may just start a gallery for this swap!
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks� Red Hot�
1 cup Blue Cheese dressing
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350�.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and hot pepper sauce until well blended. Mix in the Blue Cheese dressing, chicken and cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips and celery sticks.
New Day! I get to think about what happened yesterday!
Thank you to everyone for what part you played in my great day! I rarely get out to stamp and have fun so it was terrific!
The dougnut recipe can be found HERE The only change I made was instead of cider glaze I added sugar and cinnamon as a coating..
Thanks to you all! I will do my best to take a picture and upload my 2 projects so if anyone did not get to them they can do them...
Thanks everyone for a fabulous day yesterday! I love love love all the projects. I'm here at my Mom's, and was able to assemble a few more this morning that didn't quite get done yesterday. I still have some left to finish up.
Kerry, so glad to see that you'd like to send out addresses, I was thinking of this as we drove yesterday evening!
For those who are interested, we will be placing a bulk order for coasters in the next week or so. We think they will cost about $2.50 for 100 coasters. Please PM me if you are interested, and tell me how many you'd like (in multiples of 100).
Hope to see everyone again soon! Next time we want to plan to stay over somewhere so we can stamp (or shop) more! :cool:
Oh, and Tina, I have your pokey pokey kit, I will mail it to ya. :rolleyes:
Also, I might have lost a pair of small, orange fiskars (I think) scissors. They woul d have my name on the handle... if anyone finds them,lmk. Possible they are lost in the calendar boxes at this point, so who knows?!?!
I will send extra money so you can send my ink pad and goody bag/12x12 thing to me.
Kari,
I can send you a bunch of images if you would like. I have a bunch of Dolly Mama by Stamps Happen if you look them up on a website and tell me which ones you like I might have them and could send you some of those too.
Bonnie
