I am planning on hitting Absolutely Everything in Topsfield (32min north of Andi). They have Darkroom Door stamps. Store hours: Sat 10-5, Sun 12-5. If I don't make it on Sat, I will go Sun. Is that one on your list?
Ah oh! Never heard of them but just looked it up and the plaid background looks so Gayla!
Got things ready for the swap. No nametags this time folks premade.
Does this mean we should bring our own nametag?
I stamped my sample last night, again and again. I kept having problems, stray marks, and finally gave up and left it. I THEN trimmed the stamps so you don't have the same problem as me. I cut all the paper, luckily didn't mess that up. I was tired and thought better of scoring, so that's for today.
This morning I have spilled a cup of water and ran into the doorframe while holding DD, smooshing her hand. I need coffee!

Heidi, I have labels we can use for nametags if someone doesn't have one. It is a small enough group and a lot of you know each other. Ya'll are going to have to deal with simple this time. Too much going on here to get everything done.
Someone tell me why I decided to start college while working full time and volunteering with 4 programs? I won't even mention that our house flooded twice in the last month like a lot of other houses in Boston. We are still dealing with that.

Andi...... thanks for all you have done so far!!! As long as your house is open and there is table space, we are fine. We don't need no stinkin' name tags!! ;)
Can we take any chore off of your hands??

You will love, love, love, LOVE this store! They have one of everything and are very helpful! I stop by once a year on our way to New Hampshire/Maine. I never have enough time to look around, however, because my husband gets antsy waiting in the car and usually sends one or two of my boys in looking for me, which of course spoils it for me. :mad:
One of these days I plan to make a trip up there alone.
I hope all of you have fun! I'd love to be joining you, but I have another commitment. :(
Why am I STILL awake?? Must be all the excitement of planning the trip! Nancy, Gayla, and I have SIX scrapbook & stamp stores that we hope to pillage on Friday between Ilion, NY and Topsfield, MA! Plus Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, etc. Think we can do it all in one day AND jammie stamp AND make it through a full day of stamping on Saturday?? I'm thinking Sunday will be an all day nap!
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Andi! You do sound like a busy woman! I'll bring my already-made name tag too. Can't wait to check out that store. The owner Kate has a couple Darkroom Door stamps sitting behind the counter, waiting for me.

Time looks right on my 'puter....
I'm not even CLOSE to done.
First thing on my list was pay bills which turned into balancing the checkbook... and spent WAYYYY too much time finding a 50 cent error!! BUT, I FOUND IT!!

Can't wait, ladies! I still need to pack and label my stuff, gather directions and such. I'll be heading out about 6am tomorrow morning, pick up Diane, then off to Andi's.

Heck, I haven't even cut my stuff and I am leaving this afternoon! ;) Oh well...I'm going to sit down and do it now. I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am going to punch the circles for my card since I will be leaving and don't want to leave my punches. I will bring them with me though so if anyone has their heart set on punching then they can do it before I leave! See you soon!

Andi Thank you for hosting a wonderful swap!
Thank you ladies for a creative afternoon of idea sharing! Please PM me if the Sturbridge woman has a swap.
I may get brave and host a swap in the Fall,
Unsubbing.
Arrived safely at Nancy's just before 12:30 a.m. and my house about 1 a.m. Everything's unloaded from the car. Now I'm WIDE awake because I probably dozed off in the backseat. THANKS, EVERYONE, FOR A FUN SHOPPING TRIP AND AN ENJOYABLE DAY OF STAMPING THERAPY!!! Andi, how many puppies?? You seemed pretty calm for all that's was going on! I really appreciated your taxiing us, Nancy, and your hosting us, Andi! Hope to see you all soon!
