;">;">;">;">The address for mailing your registration is NOT THE SAME AS THE LOCATION OF THE EVENT!!
Here’s what’s planned.

ONE for a sample at your table location, ONE for the Hostess.
Mandatory Swap(s) (just ONE of these is mandatory) – Participating in at least one of these swaps is part of the “price” of admission so everyone must participate in a swap (plus the shoebox table project is also required). You can, however, participate in any one, some or all of these swaps.

***********************************************
PLEASE MAKE UP XX KITS!!! PLUS 2 COMPLETED!
***********************************************
Mandatory Shoebox (Table) Project – Bring your idea and all the supplies (precut but not prestamped or prepunched) needed for EVERYONE to make your project the day of the event. Quality products are mandatory. There are several threads that discuss quality of swaps. Please read them if you are unsure. ALL the shoebox projects will be set out in the morning. You will proceed, in "round robin" fashion, to each of the projects and do ALL PROJECTS. YOU will move, YOUR PROJECT will not. GOOD DIRECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE POSTED ON YOUR SHOEBOX, you will not demo or be around for everyone to ask questions. When our final count is in, you will know how many kits to make. You will need to bring TWO extra completed shoebox projects (which includes a hostess thank you and one for your table so that everyone can follow it for directions). Participation in the table shoebox project is mandatory. This project will generally be a full card, with layers and embellishment(s) or a simple 3D item. Please provide any special adhesive that's needed. Make these something you’d be thrilled to get yourself. When you KNOW what your card or project is, please post a name for it here or send me a PM. We will all have a check off list the day of the event. Projects should take NO MORE THAN 10- 12 minutes to complete. If you are unsure, time someone else doing your project.
You WILL need 2 completed. One is for a sample at the table and one is for the hostess. I will try to complete all of the projects on the day of the event, but because of the hectic day may not be able to complete them all. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ...
Because we will need time to do EVERYONE'S shoebox, we WILL NEED TO LIMIT the number of attendees. It will be 32, MAXIMUM.
Food – Please indicate on the registration sheet the food item you will bring to share. Please be specific; don’t just say “food”! Ideas: breakfast items, lunch items, including salads, desserts, and snacks. Water will be provided. We love to try your food specialties! We will have coffee, IF YOU MAKE IT!! There is a refrigerator and a microwave. Crockpots are welcome too!!
“Garage Sale” – Bring your stamps and stamping supplies to sell or trade. Current Stampin’ Up! items must be offered for trade only; you can sell retired items. Sorry but we can’t be responsible for missing items so bring things at your own risk. There will be a LIMITED AMOUNT of table space for garage sale items. If you are bringing a lot to sell, you SHOULD bring your own table. There is no fee to sell/trade at this event. Please have items priced. It is annoying to have to ask.
Goodie Bags – for everyone! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will all have the same value with some variations in colors, etc. If you would like to donate to the goodie bags, please send me a private message. We'd be happy to include a coupon or flyer as well.
Gift Swap – For now … skipping the gift swap. If you are disappointed and I get feedback from more than a few folks. I will add it back in.
;">;">;">;">PLEASE consider donating a door prize. It would be lovely if we had enough for everyone.
Other Stuff – Please bring your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can’t stamp without, like: bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
NAMETAGS are helpful, but not mandatory. ;">;">;">
;">;">;">
Don't forget your camera!
SHARE THIS EVENT WITH A NEWBIE OR FRIEND. ALL ARE WELCOME.
Complete the registration form and forward with your $25 payment by MARCH 9th.
All funds collected will be spent on the event, for the room, drinks/snacks, CHOCOLATE, and paper products etc. Your registration is complete when your payment is received. If you have any questions, please ask!

Sign me up! I'll get my reg form in the mail this week.
Ithaca College has their Accepted Students day on Sunday, so this weekend date works out perfectly! And since I have a high school senior - put me down for the graduation swap :-)
Well.... I'm scheduled to go to the Netherlands, but who knows with the coronavirus. I'm not sure we'll have a final decision by the deadline time though.

Nancy, as much as I said I was going to join you at this one no mater what.....I am not going to make it. So sorry. My 2nd mom’s brother fell approx 18’ from a tree stand that broke in Oct. After the life flight, ICU, Geisinger & rehab, their bills are staggering. The family is holding a benefit the same day as your event and need all the help they can get. I will again try in the Fall. It is on my calendar and hoping for no dramatic changes. Have a great time and enjoy!
Thanks Karen!
I'm waiting to hear from Edna and Brenda.
So if you want to start numbers may go up by 2.
Was hoping for Tilly and Maria .... but haven't heard.

I'm sure most are expecting this announcement. I am totally canceling this event. All money will be refunded. I have not cashed any checks. So please let me know if it's ok to destroy them.
If you paid in another form you will be refunded in a like manner. Please allow me a few days to figure that out. I will miss you all and hope we can gather together soon!

It's OK to shred my check. Sad not to see everyone and play after being away all winter but we have been traveling through eight states and doing some sightseeing in crowds during the past month. I wouldn't want to be the cause of spreading the virus to y'all! We feel fine so far and have washed our hands like crazy so I will keep positive thoughts for continued good health!
