Excellent, I don't want to let you or cpine down, so spinach dip will be IN DA HOUSE. LOL.
Rae Anne, do you happen to know how long it takes to get there from Steiner? Wondering how earrrrrly I need to leave Saturday AM.
I won't be able to stay the entire day - will probably leave at the ~3:45 break, but will leave my stuff there so everyone can finish my card. And DUH - I had been wondering about the schedule for the day - turns out it helps to READ THE FAQ!!! Sorry Brenda! :mrgreen:
I would plan on 35 min. because it took me 25 min. and I live right off the tollway.

The Map App on my phone says it is 48 min/32.4 mi from my house in SR. The time estimates are usually a little on the high side, but I'm planning on about 45 minutes.
Here are the directions the app gives me:
Take 45 to I35 N
East on 29 in Gtown (also University Ave)
Cross 130
Take 2nd left on Eastview Dr
Address is 101 Eastview Dr.

I can't believe it's almost here. I have everything finished, except my door prize. I will put the finishing touches on it tomorrow, though. I am so tired, so I am going to hit the sack! Please be careful driving to Georgetown!

Oh my gosh guys! I had SUCH a great time today. I'm sad it's already over! I can't wait for the next one!! Hopefully we can do them more often, and I don't mind helping to organize at all since I live so close.
Thank you Brenda and Karen! You guys did an amazing job coordinating everything. Everything went off without a hitch.
And thank you to whoever I got my door prize from (the ribbon spool holder)! What a NICE gift!! And thanks to all of the member companies for all of the great loot!! How fun was that?! (And Libby who scored it all!)
Also, to all who brought anything homemade to eat today.. PLEASE post your recipe! Everything was fabulous, so I won't ask for a specific recipe.. I want them all!!
So when are we doing it again??
Oh.. by the way, I am missing the piercing pad from my Stampin' Up kit. So if any of you who brought home two, or brought one home without bringing one-- it's probably mine. I put my name on the bag it was all contained in, but didn't put my name on all the pieces. Thanks!
---Okay, I'm off to find a pic to replace my avatar. A lot of you said you recognized the name but not so much the face.. lol. Keith is a lot better looking, but oh well.
Wow! I had a blast today. I had fun visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. I'm sad too that it's over. I can't thank everyone enough for making it peanut free, so I could attend. It was a nice treat to feel "normal" and not have to worry about my allergy. (((hugs)))
Huge thank you to Brenda and Karen! Both of you did a great job coordinating everything. The name tags were very cute.
Brenda~ thanks for being the peanut police. lol You're a sweetheart.
Libby~ Thank you sooo much for getting all the door prizes for us. Who doesn't like free goodies.
Last but definitely not least~ I can't remember her name.... A huge thank you to the lady that made my wonderful door prize. I absolutely love it!

I am HOME!!!!!! What a fabulous weekend it was! I didn't want it to end, but all good things must come to an end. Karmen told me that she really loved our group because we were so fun, kind, and helpful. She is definitely up for another one next fall. I am glad everyone liked the new venue. I thought it was perfect for our group.
The door prizes were AMAZING!!!! I would like to thank Sarah for my awesome toile craft tote and the amuse stamps. I can't wait to use them. And thank you to Libby and Rae Anne for the awesome vendor prizes and goody bags. FREE treats are always welcome!

And to the person that made the Sopapilla Cheesecake thingy - that was the bomb!! Can you share the recipe?!?!
I had a great time and really loved all the cards and great doorprizes. Thanks Libby and RaeAnn for getting all those vendor prizes for us. Alsi thanks to Kim from MFT for the nice prize as well. I was just going through all my stuff and was wondering who provided the doorprize that I won? It was the Unity Stamp set called Unlucky 13 and had adorable spooky ribbons.

Just reading this makes me salivate all over again! ;)
And Christy Pine, can you tell us all how to make that white chocolate popcorn?
Pop a bag of butter microwave popcorn. Pour in large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels. Melt a bag of white chocolate chips- I found it melts best in a glass bowl for 1 minute, stir, and heat 30 more seconds. Pour chocolate over and mix well. Spread onto wax paper to harden. You can add colored sprinkles for holidays. Easy peasy!
