I had a fabulous weekend stamping! I'm feeling really grateful for the time. It's been two years since I've really been able to just focus on 'playing with stamps' and it was wonderful! I even took pictures and might get up the nerve to start a gallery!!!

If you need help, give a jingle (by which I mean a PM). I'll pack up the laptop and we can go somewhere with wi-fi. And food, preferably.
PS: Wicked and visit were good. I keep forgetting to go back into PMs.
I went to MN for the weekend, packed for the cold and coould have gotten by with t-shirts. Spent family time with daughters, siblings, and friends. Absolutely wonderful!

I had family for the whole weekend. They came to help me with TONS of leaves, close up my gazebo, and haul wood for the fire place. We make it a family thing and had a lot of fun and food. Haven't stamped in over a week and can't wait to get back to it. Hope to see you all in Jan. but will wait to see what the weather brings. lady_di
Yes, I think so! (I'd have to scroll back a page or two, but I'm pretty sure there's one or stampers who've posted and are in your area. ) And McFarland isn't too far from Edgerton. Hope you can come to Gina's!

With you Lady Di, I can imagine it was a lot of fun. And what a great way to bring family together. Have fun stamping

I just might take you up on that.
Glad you had a good time.

Where is everyone - it sure is quiet out here! I spent the weekend at home (for a change) and got to finish up some projects that were partly done - now I'm starting a few new ones! Time to get out the holiday stuff and start the creative juices flowing! The weather has been so nice, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is outdoors enjoying it. My foot has pretty well recovered from the surgery I had in September so I managed to get in 3.5 miles yesterday at Pike Lake State Park - my body is telling me today that I was right - it was ALL uphill. At 50+, a person probably shouldn't hike that much after being off of the trails for 2 months! Oh well, it was a good reason for me to stay put in my stamping room all day today!
Holy Schmoly, woman! Sounds like a lot of fun, but yi yo ... you just had foot surgery, remember?! How's that foot now?

Hi Guys--I got an email back from Jessica--she has had some laptop issues.
She said as of right now, she will try to be sure to be open on Saturday, January 29th--YEAH!!!! The hours are 10:00-1:00 now and I would think they would remain the same. I am sure there will be a card kit available to make card samples--I will get more info as the date gets closer.
So, 10:00 at Gina K's Store in McFarland, on Saturday, January 29th! Get it on your calendar.
Jean--can you recommend a place to meet that morning for breakfast in the area at maybe 9:00--does Spartan Pizza serve breakfast on the weekends yet? Or someplace else? Then, if some of us want to come early, we can get a list together and get a large table. And, if some want to meet to eat after playing and shopping at the store, we can also go someplace afterwards. I know that last time there was a gathering there, people went to Culver's.

Ahhh, the foot will be fine, I'm not going to let it keep me down! I hiked a few miles on Saturday then last night I went outdoors just to move my car but it was so nice out that I stuck my head inside and told my son I was going out walking. His response was "Mom, didn't you just say that your foot AND your whole body was aching?" As I told him, I weighed the hurts in one hand and the beautiful Sunday night weather in the other and guess which won? Yup - I went walking!!! Heck, today was Monday and I spent 10 hours in a chair looking at a computer so I think I made it up to my foot. It's happy now & so am I! (Couldn't be happier unless I were stamping!)
Here is the list of those planning on coming to McFarland on Saturday, January 29th.
If you are thinking of coming, please post in the thread and I will update this post with your name. As this post gets buried, I will copy and paste later in the thread.

Hey Barb - Please put me on the list for all 3! Thanks to you & JeanieBean for organizing this!
I'm not the organizer. The kudos goes all to Barb!
Hey all, Martha (tigerlily) & I are heading out to CA tomorrow. Her DS was in a bad motorcycle accident and is in critical condition. Please think good thoughts our way as we travel and please keep Martha & her son in your thoughts as they get through this.

You are one lucky girl to get all that help!!! I'm the one who is always helping my family, and never get any help in return!!! It doesn't help that my brothers and sisters are all 1200+ miles SE of me!!!! LOL!!!
Oh well, I guess my leaves can wait until next year to get raked!!!! LOL!!!
I would love to go to Gina K's too! I need to check my calender and see what is going on! Hopefully nothing, except a trip to Madison, that is!!!;)

Hey, my stamper friend held a swap and had everyone bring an extra and different card than the one they set up at their station. She then pulled a name and someone won that wonderful set of cards.....Is there an interest in that for Jan. 29th as a fun ending of our day out? Or a variation of that? Or another fun idea?

If you're suggesting a card swap, with making one card for everyone (and then the extra for a drawing) I must confess that I don't really want to feel the "pressure" of making cards for everyone for an entire swap. I barely find time to make one card these days, much less 10.
But a little gift swap might be fun after the holidays are all over.
Maybe something along the lines of bringing a wrapped gift, draw numbers for turns to pick a gift, then take turns opening and showing off. (We could do it white elephant style, with stealing from each other, but that can be time consuming [and sometimes just really annoying], and I'm thinking that by late afternoon in January, we may all be anxious to hit the road.)
We could do it with a small store bought item ($5-ish), or if we wanted to do handmade maybe a set of four cards all wrapped up nice and neat, or maybe a little 6x6 papercrafting kit of some kind. A kit would be a fun way to recycle some supplies, without spending much money.
I like a couple of the ideas--a box of 4 or 5 cards to swap would be my first choice. Or a couple of card kits to swap (6x6 paper, some images and some embelishments.
Whatever the group wants to do is fine from me.............................
