I am officially off of work until Monday. Shopped for salad fixings on my way home.
I can't wait to see all of your projects. I am still deciding if I am going to jump into the madness and prep a shoebox. I probably won't be able to sit at a table much but it would be nice to have the option.
Safe travels for all of you coming into town tomorrow.
All afternoon I have had this song running through my head...i think it is by the Pointer Sisters......"I'm So Excited....and I just can't hide it...!"
Can't wait to start the adventure tomorrow morning.... a day of shopping...jammie stamping and then "The Event"!..and more jammie stamping.! WOW!!
Safe travels to all.

oooooohhhhhh!!!! Hobby Lobby?!!! Gonna have to check out that address!! The car is almost packed. Poor Brad, he is such a great sport. We are leaving early to shop a bit. I just heard today that the limit has been raised as to the amount we can bring back over the border. Will have to check that out as well. My mind is a little more tipped on new house stuff than on paper goodies these days tho'!! This weekend will be a nice distraction. Again, Poor Brad, we only have 2 cars (insurance and driving children makes a 3rd exorbitant) That means we are coming in my little pink beetle and DH gets to drive that around Buffalo for the day while he waits on me. He will have his paper bag handy to slip on--we cut extra big holes in it for good visibility; safety first!!

That would be fun, Arlene. But I'm not sure if we'll be stopping there or not (Jeannette and I). We have several stops along the way. We have to stop somewhere around Painted Post (I think) for DD to get her fingerprints done for her NY certification, Jeannette needs to drop some boxes off along the way, etc. I think we'll stop at Buffalo stamps since I'll be dropping DD about 3 miles from there. But I'm not sure yet if we'll be going to the Corning store. We'd have to back-track a bit. What time will you be there?
Still at work trying to get caught up so DH won't complain too much about what's left to do while I'm gone. Then I need to snack shop, do laundry, and pack. Possibly put together a jammie stamping project.

LOL. Brian used to get teased when he'd drive my car with the ladybug seat covers.

Sherry, Linda, and I hope to be there about 10 a.m. when they open. Not sure when everyone else plans to get there.
Arlene, I have an old list that I should update... is Scrapbook Treasures in Rochester still open?
No, Cookie. Utopia's garage sale is the last in Rochester. There is a cute little scrapbook shop in Victor that has a thrift store next door where Nancy found a purse. See my post #430 for the list of stores and addresses.
I am doing the same thing, Diane...I have all of the addresses for AC Moore, Joann, hobby lobby, Lane Bryant and Pet Smart on one sheet; I have coupons for the craft stores printed (two each, one for Ina and me) and I have directions printed to the hotel. I think we can find the church from there, but will probably do a quick refresher run tomorrow to make sure we are absolutely sure where we're going Sat. am.
My GPS, I'm firmly convinced, has early onset dementia and isn't really sure where she's sending me half the time, once she tried to get me to turn off an overpass...at the top.
MaryAnn, Pam, Lisa and I are leaving at 1pm. We're planning on stopping at a couple of the stores on the way. Corning is close to us so we decided to do a local trip later. Please, please, please leave something for us at the other stores...LOL.
If we have time we'll try to stop at your hotel after we get settled tomorrow night but we're in for Jammie Atamping Saturday night.
Don't know about PAers, but Karen, Diane and I are
Great! Can't wait to see everyone!
I have laundry going and packing started. Think I need a snack right now.
Charge your cell phones and camera batteries! Pack donations for the troops, shoebox projects, swaps, tools and adhesive, name badges, jammie stamping projects, food, beverages, directions, store coupons! DRIVE SAFELY!

Well off to cut for Jammie Stamping and pack.
:twisted: Not a chance of that happening!! Well...MAYBE...;) I am trying to cut back on craft spending...ROFL!!!! I'm so funny! :lol:
I'm up at 4:50 a.m.! See some of you in a few short shopping hours!
I've managed to wake up even earlier than normal (up since 4am - usually 5am). I must be excited. I printed off coupons for what I could (no Joann's coupon for this week - drat). I will be checking and double checking everything a million times. Cheryl and I will hit the road later on. See you all in Buffalo.

ACK! I can't find the Happy Father's Day stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes...of COURSE! If anyone has it and could bring it along for me to borrow I would be SO thankful!!
My project lends itself to other phrases, but I'd like to have that one too.
I got halfway to the airport and realized that I left my cell phone at the house. Not good when you are planning on meeting a bunch of folks for jammie stamping, shopping, dinner, etc.

Tracy and crew and all of the great stamping ladies at Springfest today, I just want to say, "What an awesome gathering!" I had a great time and every swap and shoebox was amazing. Thanks for everyone's hard work and creativity.
A HUGE Thank You to Tracy and crew for an amazing day of stamping and fellowship. You did a great job with everything and are so appreciated. This day will certainly be missed in the future if you decide not to continue it.......so I am excited that you are at least willing to think about it.
Thank you again!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU Spring Fest Crew! What a great day for all of us. So much time and effort into the planning, and everyone made such wonderful projects to share! Thanks to the kitchen crew, the Amherst Alliance Church for sharing their wonderful space, the sponsors, and the always fab Buffalo Stamps & Stuff store for making our day so special, too! Many hugs...should I start the chant? One more year, one more year (hee, I'll probably start the same chant next year ) If you do decide to have the event and need anything at ALL please count me in to help!!
Huge thanks to Tracy and all of the Spring Fest Crew!!!!! You put on a wonderful event! I love my shoebox projects, my swaps, my door prize, the list goes one. Best of all -- meeting so many wonderful splitcoasters in one place! Thank you to the sponsors. I truly hope you will consider one more year!
