Join us for a day of stamping and scrapping fun!
Cost- $15 per person ($16 via PayPal). Your registration fee must be paid for by Friday, November 2nd. There are no refunds after this date. You may pay via PayPal by using a debit card, credit card, or PayPal existing funds. You may also mail a check if you prefer. Please contact me when you are ready to sign up and I will provide my PayPal address or my mailing address.
Lunch- Lunch and beverages will be provided. Please bring a snack to share. It can be something you make or purchase. You do not need to bring an enormous amount of food, just enough to share with 8-10 people! Something like chips, cookies, or brownies will be great!
Make & Take- We will be creating a holiday themed make and take project. I will post a supply list closer to the event date. It will definitely be something fun!
Gift Swap- Please bring a wrapped gift, valued at around $5 to swap. It can be something you make or purchase. Stamped projects are always appreciated! These gifts will be swapped �Yankee Trader� style. Please be sure to include your real name and SCS name somewhere so the lucky recipient can know what talented stamper to thank.
Yard Sale- There will be large tables set up for a buy/sell/trade area. It�s a great way to get rid of a few things and pick up some new goodies! All items must be priced and any buying/selling/trading will be the table owner�s responsibility. Just remember certain companies have policies regarding the buying and selling of their merchandise. Please be sure to abide by those rules. If you are interested in a table, please let me know when you register so I can make sure there will be enough tables.
Fabulous Nametag Contest- Make and wear a 4�x 6� nametag with your name and your SCS name so we know you on sight. Get creative and make something fabulous! The best nametag will win a special prize! This is also a fun way to learn everyone�s names!
Stamp for a Cause- Please create one card to send to the troops via the SplitCoastStampers Stamp Your Heart Out Campaign. The inside of the card must be left BLANK, but the design of the card is up to you! Each card should be placed with an envelope inside a clear Ziploc bag. If you wish to create more than one card, go for it! All cards will be collected at the check-in table. For more details check here.
Other Stuff � Please bring your own items for your personal stamping and scrapbooking needs, especially your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can�t stamp without! Please be sure to label your items if you feel it is necessary.
I know I am super excited to meet some new scrapbooking and stamping friends (and meet some of my SCS friends in person) and I�m sure you are too! Be sure to come out on December 1st. I know we will have a fabulous time!
Remember to register and pay by Friday, November 2nd!!
For any questions and to register please contact me via PM.

My team rents Dunn often! My upline and many sidelines live in Exeter. I know exactly where this is! I wish I could go but sorry, I won't be able to make it. Thanks for the PM inviting me though! I hope you all have a blast!
I have to wait and see what DD's schedule will be like, but if its open I might come. We have until Nov 2nd to let you know?
Yes, you have until November 2nd to sign up! I realize it's far away I just want to get the information out there early since that time of year can be SO busy!
Thanks for the invite Brandi! I will have to let you know in a late October or early November. It is a little too soon to know my schedule as well. Definitely subscribing to keep this in the forefront though! Sounds like fun!
wow - this sounds great! and so close too! yippee!! I so hope my calendar will be clear for the date! I will have to commit to you later on this month...but if I am free, I also would like to know about bringing friends...I am a teacher and my enabling teaching buddies may be interested too - there are 5 of them if they are free...let me know! and thanks for organizing!

So Sharon is definitely in! I totally think meeting up with some new and different people will be a good spark for all of us. Nothing like seeing somebody do something new and exciting to get you creating again!
We are moving to Thorndale, PA in mid-October! Is that close to your location?? I'll see how things are going as we approach November and I'll let you know! I would love to come - it sounds like so much fun!!
Hi Julie! Thorndale is about 45 minutes from Exeter, where the get together is being held. Pretty close by PA standards! Wow, are you moving from Florida!? What a change that will be!
Sharon your check arrived Tuesday! Just wanted to let you know it got here! Thanks for paying so quickly! If anyone else is waiting on me to send them the address for payments, please send me a PM. I've been under the weather all week and I'm sure I've been forgetting things!
Ok Brandi, I had to laugh at myself. I didn't read your second post about the Dunn Center being in Reading. I was looking up Exeter, PA on my Microsoft Maps & it was giving me a location like up in the Poconos. LOL - I kept thinking "how does she think I am CLOSE??" ha ha! When I enter the Reading address, yep - it shows I am 40 min away! Silly me!!!
I'm so happy I found you guys!! Thanks for the PM, Anne! I can't believe we'll be so close! It looks like about a 45 minute drive for me, which isn't too bad! Yay!! I am sooooooo looking forward to getting settled in PA. S. Florida is nuts and I feel like I live on the sun - it's too hot!!
I have no idea why that happened Anne! I use google maps even thought I have Microsoft Streets and Trips on the computer. I was going to mention that Anne was really close to you Julie! Looks like she beat me to it! Anne will have to be your personal guide to the little stamp/scrapbook shops in the area. It will be a short tour, there are only a few! But still isn't it nice to know someone before you even move here!?

LOL - it was my own doing Brandi for getting the mixup about Exeter!! It's called 'I need to read ALL the information first!'.
:-) It will be nice to have a fellow stamper close by! It seems all of my stamping buddies either don't stamp anymore or just don't do any get togethers.

Uh oh! Did Kris, Kara, and I get you sick too now? :( Hope you feel better! That *thing* that's going around is rough. Dan still has it. Ugh!
I'm getting excited about this get-together. It'll be fun!

Maybe that is where it came from! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out where I picked it up! I thought it was the little kids at work, but it was your family Denise! Just kidding! It was most likely some kids from work, somebody sneezed on me on Monday.
Anyways, I thought I should get a sign up list up, since I've gotten so many commitments to come! If I omitted you, please let me know! You have until November 2nd to pay, just PM me if you still need my address or paypal email!
Thanks Denise! I got your money today! I left you a voicemail, not sure if your phone is working. I'll send you a message too! Thanks Caroline for mailing your check!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Monday!
PA Let�s get together! Saturday, December 1st.
