Teresa,
That is exactley the way I felt when I found out it was going to be on the 3rd. There is no way we can change our trip but I sure will miss everyone and all the fun.

To Michelle,
Yeah, you can make a GOOD living on that stuff...isn't that what these realty TV shows are all about? People go in and completely re-do rooms or houses or garages.

The problem with my craft room is that I am ALWAYS in it and I actually stamp and read and compute, etc in this room....sooooo everything gets thrown all over. When I do get time to organize and clean up, its nice for one or two days and them BAM! a mess again.....its not easy being creative and tidy at the same time. However, I do need to dump some stuff I NEVER use anymore.

Katie,
I will be able to give you tons of stuff. What is they say, "If you have did not used it in the past year, toss it, you'll never miss it". Sure..........easier said than done but Michelle has the right idea. Patti

I am sad that we are going to be missing so many people but can't wait to meet all the upstate girls!

Woo hoo!!! Thanks Patti. I will take any kind of scraps you want to get rid of. Just throw it in a bag/box and I'll get them from you when I see you next. I love seeing what other people have used and finding a new purpose for it.

I am bringing the boxes with your scraps, among other things, to the meeting tomorrow. You can throw out what you don't want.

OMGosh Patti!!!! You totally made my night and my 6 yr olds! She sat with me for two hours last night going through the boxes and filled up an entire bag full of scraps for her "scrapbook". She was so proud to take that to her Grandma's this morning and show off all of her new goodies! Thank you for everything. I don't think I threw away much if anything. lol Any time you ever want to get rid of anything just let me know! We love scraps at my house!!!!!

Good Morning Lades...
I have a question? Is there another day in May that works better for everyone? Seems that lots of us are having a conflict with the 3rd....

Default Hi Ladies

If the date is in May, I can come...if it's April, it depends on whether Will is back from his deployment by then or not. But put me on the list for now and I'll let you know as soon as I get Will's getting home date!

Thanks!
Erika

Let's say the 26th of April then. It is only one week back. I guess we need to change the thread title then Amy! :-)
I'm so happy I can come now!! :-)

Hey everyone, I am so glad that y'all switched the date but we are leaving for Italy on the 20th of April and returning the 3rd of May so that won't work for me. But I am glad that so many others can make it. May is really the only month that I could have made it. Hugs, Patti

Hey Amy,
You should come down Friday night and spend the night with us at the lake house. We are planing a lot of stamping and laughing and just plain silliness.

Hey, Amy. Come to the lake house Fri. and get up Sat. morning and drive to the IOP. The lake house is an hour from Chas. so it would take you about one and a half from the lake house. You know everyone would love to see and visit with you(specially me). Let me know. Claudia
