im packing right now..
- the sad thing: its not even projects im doing.. all ee stuff lol...
my own stuff.. i think i'll pack it tomorrow morning lol
so i wont be on scs much today, if you need me, i have sent my cell # around... or email me, I have my blackberry with me, and will reply to you almost instantly..
i will be dropping by the coffee place tonight, but don't know when.. if you are new and don;t see me, just look around for a bunch of crazy yakking women, saying "embellish this, swap that" then you know you came to the right place.
wow.
it is like my tiny
little
"not- very- consequential- in- the- big- scheme- of- things- world "
*knows *
somehow understands
that I am planning on checking out for a few days
having everything on the back burner
trading it all away for some 'me time'...
a million little things keep popping up to distract me from my ultimate purpose
to get away this weekend
funny that all I can think of is to get on the computer and waste more time...LOL!

Reason: typos because the phone was ringing!
Desperate last minute plea for help... I am in need of 3-4 sheets of garden green. If any of you who are coming has it, can I trade for another colour I have on hand.... I'd be very grateful...
goodmorning !
coffe date was great ... releived to see everybody made it.
we closed the place down!
well, actually everyone was pleased but tuckered out and the coffe shop closed at
gasp !
nine pee-ehm!
so we were all turned out into the streets.
it's anyone's guess how the dorm gals finished up the night though...
I packed some more and turned in early.
I am erring on the side of
the always popular,
"pack too much of everything"
...except fibers and embellies... and oddly ... rubber
I am taking cs and all my tools ...
I will concentrate on cutting many letters for wall words...
hopefully I can borrow a stamp or two if I need one!!
LOL!!!!

I just wanted to pop in here and say a big THANK YOU for your contribution of cards to the military project. I got them all counted tonight (aren't you impressed Loretta!?!?;)) and you donated 453 cards! I still have to do the cardfronts so that will add another 20-25. I will update the card total on the thread in red on my siggy line.
Your generosity will not go unnoticed.
Now...does anybody have an "in" for envelopes? I am in desperate need and Carlton won't donate anymore and Hallmark is being frugal. I'm going to contact my local Staples store to see if they will donate to me. Any other ideas? Please PM me.
Thanks again! Hope you have a great Sunday finishing up all the projects you brought! hee hee :p
Had a great first day at EE3, Did absolutely nothing. Had a great time visting with friends not seen in a long while and checking out everyone's amazing projects. So many talented ladies all in one room.
Looking forward to another day of pretty much the same.
Carolyn, You are the lady I have been waiting for! I get tons of envelopes all the time and I never know what to do with them. They are the Carlton one. I will round some up for you.
Louise
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had a lot of fun on Saturday!
I wanted to thank everyone for the card front swaps I had gotten. I emailed those of you who had that info on the back but I have a few cards with no info at all and can't thank you the same way.
Carolyn, You are the lady I have been waiting for! I get tons of envelopes all the time and I never know what to do with them. They are the Carlton one. I will round some up for you.

That is wonderful! Thank you. I will need some quite quickly as I will run out soon. Let me know (please PM me) and we can connect.
Thanks gals for another great weekend. Had lots of fun - caught up with many of you - even did a "little" bit of work

Thank you to all the co-ordinators for organizing another fun filled weekend.
Like I said, didn't do anything, but really enjoyed the company.
Thank you Anna for an amazing class and getting some stampscape newbies "hooked", and the other ladies too.
Looking forward to next year.
A huge thank you to Peggy and all the coordinators for a fun weekend. It was nice to see everyone and meet new people. What a talented group! Thank you Anna for giving us inspiration on the stampscape cards. Now we can take our stamping in a whole new direction.
Thanks ladies for a fantastice weekend. Anna thank you for getting me totally addicted to the stampscapes. I will be stalking the postman for weeks waiting for the others to arrive...lol.
This was my first EE and I had a FANTASTIC time.
I would like to take this time to thank Peggy , the other coordinators and a Big thank you to Mike for helping me with my bag.

On behalf of Kyla, Judy and Amanda, I want to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO THE EVENT!
it means a world to us to hear that you guys had a good time, thats why we keep doing it year after year...
Special thank you to ANNA! babes, you rock! i think It would be fair to speak for everyone in this case, that YOUR CLASS WAS A HIT! because of you, we were able to raise $125 more for MS! great stuff!
I just got home not too long ago, and of course didnt have a chance to unpack yet, but I did have a peek at all the +1.. and wow....
and I was so proud in not joining swaps.. dang, I sure missed out! lol...
im a little tired from the festivities, so im not going to have a chance to report our grand total fundraised until later tomorrow or day after.. I have to sort through all the paperwork.
1) there's no such thing as too much ribbon (Diane)
2) The new meaning of "walking the dog" (Loretta)
3) fushia ink stains more than purple ink (Jessica)
4) the michaels in Sherwood park is easier to get to than the one in S. Common (gail)
5) witnessing that a DD card CAN be done in 30min (dawn)
6) EE is now that first event ever that employs a "kill-the-bee-carry-my-tote-walking-alarm-clock-self-proclaimed-funny-man" (Mike)
7) the controversy between spitting or swallowing *bubble tea* (amanda)
Just got home a few minutes ago! Had a great time, good to see so many new faces as well as catching up with the friends made over the last 3 years. Thanks to Peggy, Kyla, Amanda and Judy for all your efforts on our behalf. anna, loved your Stampscapes class, brilliant! Need to get some shuteye but I'll PM a few of you tomorrow! Nancy thinking of you on your homeward journey!
Grateful for another extravagant weekend.
a wonderous big job, p.lo, mike, amanda, kyla and anna
and done with so much friendly dedication and relaxed aplomb.
bravo.
I think that just seeing everybody is great.
just eating a meal with new people is great
just having aliveinreallife conversations is great
everybody just squeezed their charmin is great.(squoze?)
just getting makentakes and swaps is great.
just getting away is great.
just being back on U of A campus is great
just finding out about how the babies are doing is great
just being able to get my stuff back into the van is great
just being still married and missed by my men is great
just having a rootbeer slurpee filled in with vanilla icecream on the sunny step before unloading the van was great.
(should become a mandatory tradition for every attendee)
just knowing I have a year to prepare for EE IV is great.
maybe I should say I am GREAT-FULL
full up to the top to be sure!
thanks everyone!

This was my first EE and I'm so glad I came! Thanks to everyone for being so kind and especially Peggy for inviting me =) I can't believe how great and productive a weekend of scrapping felt (and full of relief since I'm not nearly as behind on my friend's album as I was a week ago)
To the rest of Robin's Chickies.....THANK YOU for a tonne of laughs!!
I wanted to say thanks to Peggy, Kyla, Judy, Amanda and Mike- you sure know how to put on a lovely event. And to everyone else too- new and old- it was great to meet new friends and be enabled (yes, you, Anna, and Gayle), and know that even after two days of stamping, a trip to good old Mike's to use the 40% off coupon is still okay.... yeah, you know who you are.....
Just wanted to say thank you to Peggy, Judy, Kyla, Amanda, and yes to Mike too, for all yourhard work, I had lots of fun, this was my first EE, and I wil be back next year (or this fall.............I heard rumours).

Thank you to all the attendees of EE 3. It was such a great weekend filled with good company and good times. It was a pleasure to meet you and spend a weekend crafting with you.
Anna - Your class was a HUGE hit and people loved it. Talk about talent!
Can't wait for your next project/class at EE 4 (lol). Thanks to you and your generosity to teach (and enable) others, the MS society will receive some much needed support.
To my fellow coordinators - it was a blast. Thank you for allowing me to take part. I had a great time.
I don't think I have ever laughed so much before... I was laughing so hard, I was crying -Thanks Judy!
I think I may need a few days to recover... (lol)
Nancy, hope you have a safe journey home. Ruth, glad to hear that you made it home safe n sound. Thank you for making the long trek to join us!

[QUOTE=smallpigpig;14157330]Just a little (insider) funny...
Things I learn at EE....
1) there's no such thing as too much ribbon (Diane) yeah, and I had to cut it all... jk! Meters, right Pegs, and not yards?
2) The new meaning of "walking the dog" (Loretta)
Loretta, I too figured the same thing. I mean, really, how long does it take to "walk the dog"? Honestly... (lol)... P, we are onto you and these "code" words (lol)
3) fushia ink stains more than purple ink (Jessica)
Poor Jessica... Wing, you definitely picked the "right" color ;)
The fusia should wash off in the next week or two (lol)... but nonetheless your sign was da bomb!
4) the michaels in Sherwood park is easier to get to than the one in S. Common (gail) Bet now, she is wondering how come she didn't take Mike's cell phone number ;)
5) witnessing that a DD card CAN be done in 30min (dawn) Didn't you know that cards have an expiry? After 30 mins, it's garbage.
Dawn, you and Lisa were hilarious. Glad that you came!
6) EE is now that first event ever that employs a "kill-the-bee-carry-my-tote-walking-alarm-clock-self-proclaimed-funny-man" (Mike) Poor Mike... this guy truly loves you P! Two full days in an estrogen-filled room, the man deserves an award...or better yet an EXTRAlong dog walk (LOL)
7) the controversy between spitting or swallowing *bubble tea* (amanda) No comment... No, it isn't what you think everyone, I promise ;)
It's Peggy's "code" words again...

I must admit I did sleep in, well kinda sorta.. Drove mike to work and went back to bed.. Woke up like 1... horrible I know.
Anyhow, i spent the rest of the time totalling the Final amount fundraised from this event...
together with:
1)raffle tix
2)anna's class
3)"selling" the classes materials via donations
4)portion of proceeds from sales from PaperWorks Co.,
We were able to fundraise.. $550!!!!!!
that's an increase of about $150 from last year's event!!!! Goes to show that we all have big hearts and willing to lend a helping hand (despite the crappy economy), so give yourself a pat on the back!!!!!
I will be sending a cheque tomorrow once i catch up on PWCO stuff..
so after that if anyone wants to see a copy of the reciept I'm more than happy to supply it. just email me. I just don't feel comfortable posting it as my personal info's on it
and that concludes this year's soiree....
I've been getting alot of questions regarding EEIV. (from the subtle "are we doing it next year" to a not-so-subtle "So, for next year, can we have it here again"... lol)
to be honest, Im not sure if I can handle it as my wedding is next year in aug. and knowing the type-a-bridezilla-in-training that I am, i might be too occupied.
So I can't commit yet. BUT if any of you would like to take a stab at organizing it, let me know. I have tons of info collected through the years that will make it easier on the planning aspect.. besides.. i like to think its on autopilot now lol...
Anna, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful class, I have thought about nothing else since and believe I am now addicted. I can wait to find some time to play with it somemore, dishes, laundry and a clean house doesn't seem too important right now.lol
But really thanks for taking your "me" time to share with us.
Louise
Thanks Peggy, Kyla, Amanda and Judy for all the hard work you put into EE (and Mike!).
I had a great time! And came away with a lot more accomplished than I thought. I enjoyed reconnecting with all of you, and meeting new people. Learned lots of new techniques (thanks especially to Anna for stampscapes class).
Hi all, I made it home to Manning Monday afternoon around 4 pm. A Long tiring trip, but I do enjoy getting away and meeting new people, and re-acquainting with friends. I had an awesome time this year....better than before,....but that is all my fault, for not joining in with people.
BIG THANKS, to Peggy, Kyla, Amanda and Judy for all your hard work.
A special thank you to Char and Heather for making my weekend more special, spending it with friends.
A thank you to Helen for bringing the Flower Soft and all your hard work in getting us organized.....thank you to Carrie and Jean and Nancy for helping. Many hands makes things easier.
Next year I won't be bringing as much stuff. Have to plan to do something, and just bring what I need for that, and not bringing everything and doing nothing. Spend most of Saturday filling out that exercise Peggy gave us to do. Thankfully I managed to do my shoebox swaps, and then Sunday I did up a Flower Soft card....so not a complete waste of time.
Anyways, I truly enjoyed my weekend, and can't seem to wait for another one.
Looks like everyone is now caught up on their sleep. I am still working on that part! I am glad everyone had asuch a gerat time! It was soooo nice seeing everyone - new and old alike!
thanks again Anna for such a great class - by all the comments, sure looks like EVERYONE enjoyed it! (and who wouldn't have?? lol) It was an awesome thing you did for all of us. You ROCK!
Thanks to all of our coordinators! I had a FABULOUS time! Thanks to my table mates and my "behind me" table mates... you are all so fun It was great to meet you all (and for some a second time) and to go out to supper, and stamp images (now I'm regretting not getting at least a couple copics!
Hi everyone! I'm very pleased to have been part of the coordinating team at such a successful event. To my "partner's in crime" (the coordinators), I had a great time and thank them for their generous creative ideas and exuberant friendship. To the attendees, you are a great bunch of talented, creative women and because the time flew by so quickly, you KNOW that we were all having such a GOOD time. Thanks for your lovely comments and for taking the time to share them. Glad to know that everyone made it home safe and sound. Scrapbooking/Cardmaking Women Rock!
