Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Friends, registrations/payments are still arriving and I can extend the date by a few days if you let me know that you're planning on coming. I know some of our regulars haven't checked in with me, which is kind of unusual.
My thought at this moment is that if we cannot meet on April 25, I will postpone until a date when it is deemed safe to gather.
I have already made some purchases and would like to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration for others but anyone not wanting to go for a different date, just LMK and I will make refunds once there is something definite to share.
I'm sending mine out tomorrow. DIdn't have any stamps at home, and ordered them on-line. I don't plan on going out anymore- Friday was my last outing. I can't take any chances with my husband's health- heart condition & cancer. I've been busy sewing up masks for friends & family still dealing with the public. Stay safe everyone.
So, today is the official closing date but I will push it out to Saturday to accommodate those whose registrations haven't arrived yet.
It is still unclear what will be happening in late April, but I can tell you that a doctor's appointment I had this week was rescheduled to be an in-person appointment in late April when I opted not to do telemed. I feel like there is cause for optimism but I'm prepared either way.
I've been getting daily updates through work (Upstate), plus have been tuning in to the County Executive's daily media briefing. It sounds like Onondaga county still expects to hit a peak in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to stay optimistic about being able to go forward with this, but I'm not having a lot of success. :(

It seems that we may top out at 15. That being the case, I will be emailing the individuals listed on page 1 with my thoughts soon and then come back and post "the plan".
I have been watching this site only because I love coming but we are still climbing in cases and I do taker care of my 90 year old mom and have to think of her. I'll continue to watch and hope the best for you ladies. Maybe I'll just see you in the Fall, but the Lord only knows. Be safe and take care everyone.

Not sure if anyone/everyone saw on page 1 that I have now closed the event at 15 participants. We are going ahead with planning on whatever date ultimately works out for those on the list.
Thanks for your patience as I bumble my way through this.
I have been in touch with everyone who has paid and we have agreed to go ahead with the first available date we can do. I'll stay in touch with all of you, including getting the swaps finalized.
Thank you for your patience as we find our way through our first (and I hope only) pandemic of our lifetime. Be safe, my friends.
I am sending an email to all who registered and including the info here for those who may miss it otherwise:
We still don't know when we will be able to get together for the gathering but I am not seeing it happening in May. I am pretty sure you are all aware of not gathering tomorrow and hope you are subscribed to the thread on Splitcoast. I will definitely post here when something is known and I will also email everyone again. Meanwhile, I know most of you [who registered] saw my earlier email message about keeping this gathering to only the 15 who have signed up and we will meet at my house. It will not be on any holiday weekend nor will it be on August 8.
All of the final counts on the swaps are there but to recap quickly here:
Recipe - swap is cancelled due to low participation
NVR - 11
SUO - 12
ATC - 9
Squares - 10
Snarky - 9
We will talk about food when we have the date decided upon as I think it may be a bit lopsided right now.
didn't know if you ladies got together or not. I'm not doing the Hamburg convention this year as normal. Even the promoters don't know anything, just hope everyone is safe and well. Miss everyone's face.

I have been meaning to get a note out to everyone who officially signed up but have not managed to do that yet. If you're reading here, LMK what you think about getting together (masked & sanitized) in August. The event would be at my house and I think we'll make it BYO lunch and beverage.
My nearby friends have requested a return to classes and stamp parties in the Stamp Cellar and those will be beginning this month. I am available August 8, 15 and 22 - all Saturdays. Those Sundays would work as well.
Interested, but have to get hubby on board....he’s only just accepted increasing our ‘bubble’ to include grandbabies and their parents. I’m not available weekend of August 15.
