WOW - it's almost here.

Can you believe the event is THIS WEEK? I'm so excited. I really have to get my supplies together and make a list of what to pack!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I sent out the Jessica Sprague information again just now so if you didn't receive it, you should now. If for some reason you still don't get it - email me at lisatanner@charter.net and I'll forward it to you.

Keep checking here this week for any new information you may need!

Supply lists in one place!

Yesterday, Brittney and I (and Pat and Lisa) were going over the to-do list for the 100th time. Early in the day Brittney had told me to compile a supply list in one place for everyone. Well, I didn't write it down. Around 3:30 we were going over that list, again. I couldn't remember what I was supposed to do! I knew it was pretty important, but my mind was blank. I woke up around 5am and remembered! I tried to fight it and get a couple more hours of sleep. Oh well, didn't happen! So, I got up and came in to watch the sunrise.....haven't done that in, well, I couldn't tell you when.....Very nice by the way! I digress.....as usual these days.

So, I am heading into the forum, just to see what's happening. I haven't checked in lately. What do you know, Natalie beat me to it! By at least an hour!! I had to give her credit on this post. It was almost like a little lifesaver. I'm thinking she should find me at the event and I should give her something for making my job easier....don't you think? hehe

I will get Elizabeth's supply list ASAP.

For the Artist's Workshop, I need you to bring your taperunner and scissors.

I can't tell you how this is coming together. I finished that to-do list yesterday. I kinda have a free weekend. Isn't that crazy? I guess it all works out like it should. I have a feeling I won't be sleeping much in the next week.....anyone have a good remedy for red-puffy eyes? I will be needing it!

Have a great Friday. Go see Vanessa if you are in Birmingham. There's a pretty big sale going on at Scrap ETC!

Slumber Party at Wishful Thinking

Do I have some fun information for you? YES, I DO!

So, Friday night we are having a SLUMBER PARTY! You know you guys are going to have some room to crop, right? Well, during the cropping - we're going to have a SLUMBER PARTY. Games, music, door prizes and cute pajama's are on the agenda. We'll provide the music, games and prizes but the pj's are on you! Come in your fave old pj's, your cute character pj's, you satiny pj's, your flannel gown - whatever you like!!

I'm thinking you might want to have an idea of what's going to happen at this SLUMBER PARTY. Well, we've got some fun games planned. Some you may have seen before and some brand new fun!! I don't want to spoil the surprise and tell you everything, but I do want to tell you about a thing, or two!!

First - let's have a photo contest!! Not the cutest baby, not the sweetest pet - but YOU!! We want to see pictures of YOU!! Old and new. So, dig out a baby picture, an elementary school picture or a prom picture and bring it along. OH, don't forget a more recent picture, too. So, we're going to display the photos and see who can match the old picture to the new picture!! If you are interested in playing along go check out www.scrapetc.com and visit the message board area for more information - you can sign up to play while you're there.

And how about a Round Robin? I love the idea of doing Round Robins. So, do you know what this is? You get a group of people - usually around 6, and you each start with a blank canvas, just cardstock - you bring with you adhesive and a few other specified items and you start working on a page. You get a short amount of time to work, the buzzer rings and you move your page to the right. So then the person next to you adds something to your page, the buzzer rings, you switch again - to the right. Eventually, you'll get your page back with touches from everyone else. We're doing a themed Round Robin - WISHES!! So you bring a photo that represents your WISH. Check out the message board at www.scrapetc.com for more information and let us know if you want to play along!

Okay, I think I've spilled all the information I can! I hope you are as excited about this event as we are! We can't wait to see you!

(Oh on a side note - I was in the store today and saw some goods for one of the classes and OH MY GOODNESS - I just can't wait for you to see!!)

If you've missed anything - so forget to check the message boards or the event site!!
We'll see you soon!!
