getting ready

Gals,
I am trying to tie up all loose ends, finalize all the details and finish it all up. YIKES. I guess I had better pack something that looks scrappy that doesn't have a raffle number on it. right?

Also need to pack some clothing, charge camera batteries, and and and.

I am leaving tomorrow morning, but can be reached via my cell number if you need me and I will check in from the hotel.

Email me or shout if you know of something I forgot.
Happy Travels and can't wait to see ya all.
Jax

last minute reminders for you

we have a late comer in the vendor spot and u will DEF. want to check out the blog to read about Gina and Accountable Kids. I can NOT wait to purchase one for my lil guy. It appears to be just what we need around here.

Also, do NOT forget the Scrappy Yard Sale.......bring all the items that are scrappy related u no longer have a "home" for. Put a price on them and have them join the swap table. A quarter, a dollar, fifty cents. It will ALL add up and it is a win win situation cause you are clearing out items that u no longer use to go to new homes and making room for the bunches of stuff u will go home with.
In addition, the NMSS will get all the money from the sale.
Magazines, idea books and anything that is still in pretty good shape. You know what I am talking about here. help make some room and some loot for the team.

HHHHHHHUUUUUGE reminder: bring address lables so save yourself from writing your name on all the raffles u will purchase. AND for those of you who have scrapped in the Plantation room and those who have not, plain and simple, it gets kinda dark in there. So, I strongly rec. your packing your OTT lite and any and all xtension cords that u might have.

I think that is it for now. Remember, there will be snacks and drinks provided. feel free to bring something to share and if you KNOW that there is one specific flavor of chips u eat, or one brand of soda u drink, PLEASE feel free to bring your own. There is a Publix right in front of the hotel and a CVS just in case you can't scrap w/o a certain item that I might not have.

Comin down to the wire. Get your teams formed and get ready to have a most AMAZING Race of a weekend. U never know, you just might bump into a certain travel gnome........hmmmm.

yard sale and MENU

As many of you start packing this weekend and organizing your scrap crap, please remember that we are going to have a yard sale area in the vendor room. Anything and everything scrappy related that you can no longer use, please feel free to bring with and price if you would like..........
All money raised at the table will be donated to the MS Society and since you are going to go home with so many new goodies, you might as well get rid of some of the old :)

Counting down the days. I am going to post the menu here as well.
Friday dinner: Homemade chili, rice and cornbread
Saturday lunch: Broc. Cheddar soup, French onion and Garden Veggie soup, caesar salad, classic salad and greek salad from Panera with baguette rolls
Dinner Saturday will be rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw.
Lunch on Sunday will be chips and sandwiches from Panera. **PLEASE note** you MUST see me to fill out your sandwich order sticker BEFORE lunch on Saturday. You will have a choice of Turkey, Chicken Salad, Roast Beef or Veggie sandwiches and YOU will be writing your name and meal choice on a sticker to make Panera's ordering and count easier for them and to ensure that you get the sandwich that you want.

Keep up on the blog too as I am adding stuff daily.
Jax

check it off the list

I am one to make lists just for the good ole satisfaction of crossing things off as I accomplish them.
Those that know me well, have observed me adding things to the list just so I can cross them off. I don't know when this all started. John and his ENTIRE family make fun of my lists non-stop, but I am one of the most organized busy people that I know and sssh, don't tell a sole, but it is all about my lists.

So, I am beyond happy to tell you how many things that I have been able to cross of my lists in the last couple of days:
shirts ordered, bags ordered, food completely ordered-whew, big relief with that stresser
candy bags being loaded by kelsey, baseball team of 30 coming to help set up tables on friday and U HAUL on W. Hillsborough Avenue has generously given me an unbelievable deal to schlep all of the "stuff" over to Sebring.

If you have any use for a UHAUL including storage etc, PLEASE contact them and ask for Todd. He is the manager and a heck of a guy.

Okay, lil man bugging me to death so must go play Mommy. Plus, Grey's is on.

Crossing another thing off my list-luvin on my lil blondie with TWO loose teeth.

one heck of a day

oy.
it has been a ROUGH ROUGH day.

Please send me some + vibes......
Thanks,
Jax
