Hello Stampers. The summer was hot but it is time to get down to some cool stamping here in Laurel, MD.
The shoebox swap will be on Saturday, September 24, 2011, from 9:00am until 5:00pm, at The Maryland City Volunteer Fire Department Hall, 3498 Fort Meade Road, Laurel, MD 20724. Doors will not open till 8:30am to allow me to finish setting up. It�s not too early to be thinking about your Christmas cards so let�s make this swap for Christmas or winter themed cards.
There will be room for 26 stampers (over 18 years of age please) to attend and each stamper will bring a shoebox swap for 25 people to make and something to share for lunch. There is a $10 non-refundable charge per person for hall rental and will need to be sent to me at least 10 days prior to the swap to secure your spot. Everyone who signs up must have a Splitcoaststamper ID. After you sign up I will send you a reply with the registration form included. Please complete a registration form and return it to me along with your swap fee. The information collected is for my use if I have to contact you regarding any changes in the swap.
All cards are to be full cards. Please bring enough supplies for everyone to make your card including all cardstock, stamps, inks, embellishments, tools, etc., along with your own adhesives and basic tools (like scissors, bone folder, etc) to use on all the projects we make. Please make sure all of your supplies are labeled with either your name or initials, so we all go home with the stuff we brought. Each person is to provide a sample of your card for reference in your box along with typed instructions telling how to make your card. Please also separate your supplies in to individual baggies or envelopes containing everything each person needs to do your card. This really helps make the swap go much smoother. PLEASE use Stampin� Up! stamps, cardstock and inks. Stampin� Up! Paper and ink colors can either be current or retired.
Everyone is asked to please bring something to share for lunch. When you sign up for the swap, please post what you�ll bring for lunch. I will have access to the kitchen for ice and refrigerator use but not the stoves, so please do not bring anything to be baked or that needs to be heated up. Crock pots are always welcome.
There will be several door prizes throughout the day.
I will be setting up a FREE table where you can bring in anything you have that is stamping or scrapbooking related that you don�t want any more and you are willing to give away to a good home, like � used sheet of stickers, cardstock or page kit leftovers that you don�t need/want any more. You know one stampers trash is another stampers treasure � LOL.
Everyone seems to like the mini Yard Sale at the swaps so let�s do it again. Here is the info:
I will have several tables around the room marked as Yard Sale tables. Each attending stamper may bring 20 items to sell. I am limiting the number of items to make sure there is enough room for everyone who wants to sell something. Each item must be clearly marked with a price and who is selling the item. Put small items in a zip loc bag with your info and price clearly marked on or in the bag. It will up to each seller if they will accept checks or just cash. You will be responsible for the items you bring and neither I nor the Fire Department will be responsible for any lost, broken or stolen items. Please let me know when you sign up if you will be bringing any yard sale items so I can put up enough tables for everyone. Please note that the sales tables will be shared so PLEASE be mindful and leave room for others to put their stuff on there too. If there is not enough room on the table then place you items under.
So your list of stuff to bring is: your shoebox swap (any theme), something to share for lunch, your basic tools (scissors, adhesive, bone folder, etc) and any items you wish to sell.
I look forward to seeing you there and having another great day of stamping.
Kathy

I really want to come but I'm going to the Brad Paisley concert that day and would have to leave super early in order to get to VA in time. Sorry I'm going to miss it. I might come visit though and see what you all are making.

Ask Brad if he wants to stop on by ;-)
OK good excuse not to go this time. Feel free to stop on by and see what is happening since you only live across the street.

Lynn Hersh - We already have someone bringing cheese/peperoni and crackers so how about a different side or main dish. Thanks
Mary McWilliams - How about Beefy Mac, some kind of turkey casarole in a crock pot, Mac & Cheese, side dish or salad and dressings. The list is still pretty open at this time.
Only 1 spot left. Looking like a great swap and less than a month away.
Jane do you have your card designed yet. Oh wait, Jane can't make it. Boo hoo :-( . Just because you can't make it, we can still talk about ya.
Everyone be safe this weekend
Kathy
