I mean, like one break in the Saturday or something. 15 min or 30. With that out, I will also say that if no one wants a break, don't put one in. Obvioulsy, I made it through, and had so much fun, it was all wonderful. If anyone needed to, they could just skip one challenge anyway. Just a thought
You do not have to do the 9;15 challenge at 9:15, KWIM?? you can do them whenever. I think we all break for dinner and then work on what challenges we want. Personally I always save one or 2 to do on Sunday.
Who ever thought up the special gallery for winners as a prize it a complete genious!! I totally love that idea! Instant gratification, instant reward and no extra work for the coordinators! Vsn was great and it seems that all went smoothly! My only comment/suggestion is that Im not really fond of the themes. Well, I guess it isnt the themes themselves so much as how closely the challenges seem to have to adhere to the theme. I think it limits the creativity somewhat of the hostesses since they have to come up with something that 'fits in' and it seemed to limit me somewhat as well. I suggest that having a theme is great but keep it more open so you can run the gamut of all possible ideas out there. Or maybe have one night be anything goes and the next day be theme related. There are always such great ideas brought to the table for vsn and I'd hate to see that stifled.
That being said though, It was a great time and everyone did a wonderful job!! Thank you!!
As a VSN veteran...........This one totally rocked!!! I can't think of a thing that needed improvement. I really like the no prize thing. Just playing is a huge prize. Thanks again ladies!!!

This VSN was awesome!! As were the other two that I've participated in this year. What fun!!! All the coordinators, hostesses and behind-the-scene folks did a great job!
The special *Molly* gallery is a WONDERFUL way to recognize and display the winners! FOR - EV - ER!! Love, love, love it!! It also takes the prize collection and distribution out of it. That had to be a pain in the you know what!
I am so sorry I missed this VSN!! DH and I were busy DIY-ing while the kids were at their grandparents house. The challenges look so rad man! I can't wait to peruse all the entries and see the awesome creations Great theme, great challenges! I can't wait to try some of them. You all rock!!!

I'm looking forward to the next VSN!!!!!!!!!!
Yes but we all need to remember their were over 1,000 enteries, and out of respect for our fellow stampers--those creations need to be viewed and commented on --AS WELL as the winners!
I've only done one other VSN besides this one and I had a really great time!! The hostesses REALLY came up with some neat ideas for the challenges!! I totally LOVED the 80s theme!! I also like the idea of playing for no prizes...It's just fun to do the challenges and I didn't feel pressured. Great job...wondering what you guys are going to plan next!?:-D
