2nd Annual HPC Convention July 24-27 2009... part 2
2nd Annual HPC in Columbus, Ohio July 24-27, 2009
Ladies, this is a thread to discuss the very informal (Swap) Hos n Pimps Convention or Home Pro Cardmakers Convention
A list of who's coming etc. is kept updated on post #2
We're getting together:
July 24-27 in Columbus, Ohio.
Hostesses: Manda Doorley (manda_dex) and Heather Tripp (chris1josh2)
The "Stable" will be:
***once I have a better head count I will have this information. we are currently working on getting pricing and information to make a decision to which hotel.
*As with last time if you want to room with people, that is great... it will help with your total cost for the room. However, we will want to know that as well, so we can keep a running tally of total rooms we need to reserve as well as working on getting the best pricing.
� The closest airports to the Easton area where you will be staying will be Port Columbus (cmh). This is about a 15-30 min drive depending on the time of day you land. Most of the hotels we are looking at have shuttle services, plus there are always cabs there to take you if someone can not make it there to pick you up.
� If you are thinking about renting a car so you can go anywhere other than the hotel area and airport keep the following in mind. The area where you will be staying is an outdoor venue with shops and restaurants a plenty within walking distance. There is also a Michael's, Jo'Ann's, and Archievers in that area as well. There are a few Hobby Lobby's as well, but those do require driving distances...so we can either car pool or figure a way to get there!
� Shoebox Swap location...This is still TBD...some possibilities are my house (if I can kick my hubby out for a day!), a conference room at the hotel, or possibly a LSS. The downside to the later, is there is not one that I frequent that I can say please close for an entire day for just us!!!
� The rest of the time we�re there, things are going to be pretty fluid. This is a very informal get-together; there are no planned/organized events. No one is charge of entertainment, meals, and rides.
� Kids are more than welcome. Scrappy will be bringing her sidekick, Baby Bella, with her just about everywhere she goes, so we don�t want you thinking that you can�t do the same.
� Ma Ma Ho doesn't want to see any nasty feet/pedicures on any of you!
Heather and myself are the point of contact for the Pimps & Hos convention. We will keep a list of who is coming and will answer any questions you have. Our email address: [email protected], and [email protected] ** Please send me a PM for updating the post on attending, rooming and attending the Shoebox swap part.*** This tends to be a little chatty, and I don't always have time to read all posts, so PM's are the best way.
We would love to meet each and every one of you. All of you make SCS one of the very best things about our day. We�ve made so many friends. . .We�ve had some really great conversations. . .And, we�ve Rolled-On-The-Floor-Laughing-Our-Asses-Off more times than we can possible remember. So, think about it, and post here if you'd like to attend so we have an ideal of how many people are going to get together.
This will be for information and head count for the Shoebox swap

Manda - I am going to have to be an unsure until the last minute, if that is okay. I am crossing my fingers (and every other part of me) that we are going to buy a house and MOVE and that is first priority. Gotta get Alafair moved between 4th and 5th grade so she only has to change schools once, KWIM? Thanks!
Elizabeth--that stamp store sounds fabulous! Now I have to think about moving close to you as opposed to next door to Jackie! Maybe I could just move out of my house and visit all of the Hos, one week at a time! Sounds good to me.
Sarah, I got the wine bottle and cheese, the wine glass, and the trees that we used in the class!!!! I also ordered the clear ovals, Rae Anne said the clear ones were cheaper than buying one of the wood ones, and she was soooo right!

Gotcha! I am going to order the birch trees - I already have the flourish Christmas tree and the Fawn stamp to make that card for my Christmas cards!

Hey come on Down! I have an extra bed room!
I had fun today at the store! Ran into a stamping friend there!
I made 2 cards in class!
And I came home with ribbon, a new copic marker, a pack of Halloween Paper, and 2 stamps a Bella stamp and a AMuse stamp! All for 35$ I say a good day!
Wed night she is holding a Stamp / pizza party I plan to go to !
See all you HO's need come to the Queen city and see me ! It would be well worth your trip

see, this is part of how I win things, I sign up for everything under the sun, lol wink wink, and since I love you all so much, I'm trying to share the opportunities
I know scrappy does, but how many of you all make ATC cards? I haven't gotten into making these yet, but am kind of interested. In looking at the hostesses on the ATC card swaps, NONE of the names are familiar. Any suggestions on hostesses or should I just start one? would anyone be interested? Scrappy says they're good to make quick cards with, and I like the idea of that.
