What is DSP up to now?!!!! Coming Summer 2008...

[Team Digital]

Ah, did you really think we'd tell? :D No way! This is too big to just announce. But when we do, we know you'll be excited! :yahoo:
All we'll say for now is this thing in the future's so bright, you better wear shades! :cool:

Ooh, someone posted a hint!
1/28/08: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/videosca1.shtml

And another!
1/30/08: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/videossj2.shtml

Oh my! And another!
2/1/08: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/videosad3.shtml

[Amber Gray]

:cool: Got my shades on!

[AmberK]

I got my shades on too! This one is a doozy!

[Lauren]

Me I have shades , sunhat and 30+ sunscreen and its still glaringly bright!!- I cant wait!!!

[Margie]

this (and only this) may just be able to bring me out of my ohio-state-induced depression! well, maybe in a few weeks, after i mourn.
this is definitely something that will get me excited! :tup: and i've got my shades! :cool: we can't wait to share more and see all the :shocked: and the :yikes:.

[missaboo]

The teasing is torture!!!! Argh!!!! But there are so many things to look forward to this summer, Trendsetters, The Scrappy Awards, um, SUMMER! Can't wait!

[Whisper Pink]

You all are such teases!!!!

Hmmmm....with all those shades and sunscreen... I wanna know will it warm up our cold *brrrrr* cold weather we are having :D

[Margie]

oh, those things are nice, and certainly worthy of looking forward to.
but this thing is BIG.
i mean BIG!
no, more like BIG! :lol:

[Margie]

it will certainly heat things up! :D

[bendipez]

So, are we going on a cruise???

[Margie]

nope, but *i* am! :D can't wait! going with my whole family in march. the grands and my brother will be there, so we can all take turns watching the kids. they're so excited! of course you're welcome to come. but i'll be the only dsp staffer there. :) oh, and the internet costs like $12 a nanosecond on the ship!! :yikes:

[honeymoon]

:yahoo: Hey it's Summer 2008 here downunder.... so maybe you can tell us kiwis and aussies now :tup: :clap: .... great idea don't you think. :think: :yes: :lol:

[Tara]

Margie - I think it is more like BIG! :)

Here I am with my sunglasses...:cool:

[Lauren]

LOL - Im not telling Fiona - now Id tell you that bribes of chocolate red wine and margaritas might get it out of me but Id be fibbing - of course you can still try!!!!

[Whisper Pink]

You know Lauren ... Yakima Valley in Washington State has some of the best Red Wines and in February they do a Red Wine and Chocolate tasting...the absolute best stuff to try...so I could snatch some of that for you when we head that way, or I could just pull a good bottle of Yakima Valley Red Zin off our wine rack at home...with a few chocolate truffles to go with it .... yum!!!! ( then will you tell???)

and Margie...I leave for our cruise in 9 days, *actually leave on the cruise in 12 days* ... but I 'm not counting ... no really I'm not...and I really am not looking forward to the 80+ degrees after all our 30 degree weather....really I'm not...honest...LOL

[Lauren]

Im really hoping to do some wine tasting in the US on one of my future trips - It was going to be this one in February but we decided to visit Bryce and Zion national parks instead as they are supposed to be beautiful in winter

[Tara]

:yahoo: Hey it's Summer 2008 here downunder.... so maybe you can tell us kiwis and aussies now :tup: :clap: .... great idea don't you think. :think: :yes: :lol:

Now that is a very interesting point! Perhaps we can just let our downunder friends in on the secret???

Hmmm...I think NOT!!! :)

[Whisper Pink]

Can you at least give a little hint when your gonna let this...

BIG Secret out!!!

Oh and is it BIGGER than a bread box!?!

[sammdc]

heheheh definitely summer here in Perth West Aust this sure sounds like a whopper of a surprise

[Rene Bross]

You are such a tease Margie!!! I'm gonna shop for some super cool shades!!

So far this is the BIGGEST thing for me this summer!! Can't wait!!

[Emma]

I already have some BIG things going on this summer, so I hope I can do this! I'm so excited!

[Margie]

these guys are ready!!

[mommabyrd2003]

Margie -

Read this with an open heart and mind. Take pity.

Five reasons why I/we should get a hint...:D


I live in Ohio just like you.
I have been to Troy more times than I can remember. Your hometown and town of my college love.
I absolutely love your doxie picture and even have a doxie of my own who would wear sunglasses if he had them because he is a superstar or at least thinks he is.
You know not 1 of the 113,875 members of DSP can wait until sumer in the USA to find out. We all check the store & boards a billion times a day tp see what's new.
It will snap all the Buckeye fans out of their deep depression after last night's game.

[Emma]

okay, at the risk of getting fired, I will tell you, not that I care anything about Buckeyes or Tigers or even Longhorns for that matter!

This summer...


we're going to...



have a super fun thing happening!

[RoadMap4Us]

Shades on here!

And if you whisper to me in real small print... smaller... like this small :doh:.... no, even smaller ........just whisper really really small and I promise I won't tell anyone else. :o :o :o :o

[Lauren]

ok - put your ear up here .....and scroll down



















Just a bit further- we dont want anyone else to hear

















Ha!!- Just Joking!!!!

[quanita]

what a bunch of total meanies :(
I think I may have to throw a tantrum

[evergreen100]

Shades/sunglasses needed? I am sure I could get my granddaughter Maddy to share these providing you whisper the secret in my ear right now, of course:love3:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=233972

[dagwood]

you can tell me, I will not tell a soul, only one or two RGCers from the granny thread........they don't count as they can all keep secrets:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Amber Gray]

Can you at least give a little hint when your gonna let this...

BIG Secret out!!!

Oh and is it BIGGER than a bread box!?!

Definitely bigger than a breadbox! :yahoo:

[mommabyrd2003]

I know what may work... we all stop visiting the store and no more challenges. A complete boycott until we get a hint. Or maybe a Scrapper's Union.

:D yea I can't do it either. I love it here too much, BUT I don't think family should keep secrets from one another.

[Amber Gray]

This may get us worried if it weren't for the DSP Addict thread! LOL

[scamptx]

I can't believe that you guys are starting to tease us with something that is so far in the future. I mean come on! Summer in the US is a lifetime away! Jeez Louise! By the time it gets here, and you tell us, we will have forgotten all about it. Then the big surprise will just fall flat...I think you should tell us now to avoid that happening. :tup: :tup:

Do you think they'll fall for that??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Margie]

oh no worries about it falling flat! YOU may fall flat when you hear it though! :lol:

[Tara]

I think when you hear it, there will be no more whispering...you'll wake up our then-hibernating friends down-under with your screams of excitement. No joke.

[pinky7]

Oh, you guys are such a tease! I don't understand how, when you're this excited about it, you still can keep it a secret! I would be blabbing it to someone, just to tell someone!:clap: :yes:

[Whisper Pink]

Tease tease tease...

BUT I get to know next week...right...you see I will be on "Sunny" vacation in "Sunny" Florida and Jamicia with lots of sunscreen and shades and shorts and away from all this cold and rain in Wet Seattle...so I get to know then right :) ... cause it will be summer for me next week!!! YAY

[bendipez]

I know, dsp is sending all of us on an all expense paid trip to Australia and New Zealand!

[webfrau]

Well if you're not going to tell I just won't come to Vegas!:cool:

[scamptx]

Las Vegas--that's it! :tup: :tup: Ok, gang--those of us going to LV are going to have to come up with a plan! :think: We can take the DSP team out and ply them with those giant margaritas! Someone is bound to have a slip of the tongue! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't worry, fellow members--we'll report back. We have our mission, and we will not fail!

[willjenni]

OK, I'm SOOO curious!! Most of your know already that patience is not my thing.....BUT.....I have no choice but to wait....boo hoo. It's just exciting to think that we are planning fun stuff that far ahead. Can't wait to find out! Does it involve a get together? Maybe I can think about that instead of wallowing in the sadness that I can't make it to Vegas! :-)

[Margie]

ah, we just MAY share with the girls and guys in las vegas!!! ;)

[Muma]

Tease?? ..... more like a bunch of sadists LOL ..... you tell us in January that there is something supa doopa in Summer 2008 and expect us not to be in curious agony in a few seconds?? .... Well you probably do expect us to be in agony thats why you are so sadistic. :cry: but but I don't like pain. Patience is NOT my middle name and didn't you know curiosity killed the cat. Oh I'm gonna diiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee ........ ~puts hands over eyes, moans and weaps for several seconds [looks to my DD for acting inspiration] rolls on the floor and moans some more~ owie, it hurts ~peaks through eyes to see if I still have the attention of a parent [cough] someone in the know, find out that no one is looking so I go sit in the corner and sulk~ ...... ok so the bad acting didn't work now lets get to work on those bribes. :D

[Jill W]

Well I think this is cruel and unusual punishment for us ~!
I am SO happy that BIG things are in the works ~ but SO sad that waiting is not my game either ... come on ... purty purty please give us a few hints ... does it start with an "A", or perhaps a "B", no, wait - "C" ... or could it be a "D" ... is it pink, no, maybe green, or might it be orange -? YEP, ORANGE it is, isn't it?? You know Tara, ORANGE is my favorite color --- ... yep, it is and YOU are my most favorite DSP helper ... {and if you say you won't tell that's okay, because I will work my way right through the list of DSP admin ... and I have a lot of chocolate AND wine }...:cool:

[pinky7]

AAAHHHHH! I am dieing already!! Please,Please, Please,Please tell us the secret! :pray: Hmmmm! The magic word doesn't work either. :doh: OK, I will think of something else!:think:

[Margie]

well, you do get an A for effort! and no, i'm quite hardened to bad acting (i have three kids) so that won't work. chocolate though, that might!

here's a hint! it's not really what's coming, more like going...

[PurdueLiz]

Oh, such teases you are. *Checks for appropriate bribing items. Darn, nothing, need to go to the store.*

Ok ladies, tell me what works as far as bribes and I'll put it on my list. I know we've got chocolate on there and wine and some margaritas for Lauren.

[Margie]

and for those not coming to vegas, dsp's address is on the contact page! :D

[dagwood]

I know, dsp is sending all of us on an all expense paid trip to Australia and New Zealand!

and all us Aussie and New Zealanders to upover land!!! we can wave to each over over the Pacific!!!:tup:

[sammdc]

hmmm Margie said somethings going hehehehehe maybe they doing away with charging us for the kits heheheheh

[Margie]

uhh, i don't think that will be going away. but there's definitely going involved. :D
love the upover land! :)

[JaeDee]

:think: :think: :think:

[Noremacc]

I can’t believe you started so early, to tease us so long… You can’t wait until summer to tell us, can you???

[willjenni]

"Going" involved....hmmmm "going". What about those of us that have been "going nuts" for years? That's too general of a hint!:lol: :lol:

[Margie]

well, i didn't say you had to wait til summer to find out! the going is occurring in summer. but the finding out could occur sooner. :shocked:


though we haven't received any chocolate at the dsp office yet... :think:

[carlalee]

Hmmmmmmmm...Could it have something to do with the ULTRA secret, men in black suits & cheap sunglasses Adobe meetings y'all snuck out the side door for last year????? -c-

[Margie]

ohh, could be. and i must make a mental note of how close you pay attention...

[scamptx]

:think: :think: Going....:think: adobe...:think: :think:

Free PSCS3 for all????!!! :tup: :lol: :tup:

[emandlivsmom]

You ladies are sooo funny!!! Reminds me of my dd's who could NOT wait for Christmas and begged and begged to open something before the big day!!

I am just thankful that it's happening in the summer when I am free from lesson planning...trying to balance scrapbooking, my family, and teaching is just killing me!

[dagwood]

[Whisper Pink]

:think: hmmmm :think: ...must find way to get chocolate to Margie, and margaritas to Lauren gosh how do you package margaritas to go ... since virtual chocolate and margaritas aren't working ... :think: hmmmmm :think:

[ChristineG]

Summer? We have to wait for Summer?! That is just mean. :lol:

[Marriedin79]

Going? As in "going public" with Dow Jones averages and the stock exchange? You know that we will manage to make it the best IPO in Dow Jones history! All of us crazy scrapbookers with the organizational skills to match the best of them. We will make the stock market rock.

Is that it? Are you going public?

[carlalee]

DH thinks y'all are getting your own show on DIY. :) :) :) -c-

[GranFran]

I know! I know! (jumping up and down) Let me guess!! Let me guess!! (waving hand in the air to be called on)
Is it....
Is it....
A scrap at a new location here in the States that some have been begging for???
Is it?????
Huh???? Huh????
Is it????? :D

[Margie]

going public? (and give all this up?) no way! :D
diy? no, but you can see dsp cds on pbs's scrapbook memories show now!!
a crop new location? well, we *will* be spilling the beans at the vegas crop. might be a good time to announce such a thing. of course it's a good time to announce anything. :D

[diturpin]

I'm hoping for a 7 day cropping cruise with really talented instructors ***feel the love*** teaching us new stuff about an awesome Adobe software program just for scrappers that will all be FREEEEEEE!!!!
Hmmm...7 days might not be long enough....maybe 14.

[willjenni]

midwest crop, midwest crop, midwest crop.....just sending subtle suggestions!:lol:

[Margie]

free cruise, sounds fun! not sure i see that happening this summer...
midwest crop, also sounds fun. but i don't think that's BIG enough! :D

[mommabyrd2003]

We're getting our very own DSP magazine? Wait that doesn't involve going... You're going to start printing the kits and seling them at scrapping stores...

[nkeevers]

Oooh, the DPS magazine idea sounds good!!

As you can see, I have my sunglasses on! Can't wait to find out!

[carlalee]

Oooooooo that reminds me of a fav song!

:cool: :cool: :cool: DSP's future's so BRIGHT WE ALL gotta wear shades!!!:cool: :cool: :cool:

LOL -c-

[Nicole Young]

What is it?? Tell us, tell us!!! :D Oh wait!! I already know!!! Heeheeheee

[Noremacc]

I know... We are all "going" to Disney World!! Now that would be big!! :tup:

[AmberK]

Its WAY bigger than Disney World! :yahoo:

[suvgal]

Are you going on QVC?

[Margie]

let's see. not qvc (yet, still in discussions)
not selling printed kits in stores (gazillions of companies sell printed stuff, we're digital!)
not a magazine (there are lots of great ones, we're not in the mag business)
you will need those shades though.
and not disneyworld (we did disneyland last year before cha and had a blast!)

ah, so close... yet so far away...

[bendipez]

3 day laptop crop in miami!!

[sandygb]

:think: Hmmm... Might it involve water? I remember a discussion last year about ideas for a DSP activity that might be fun. If it's what I'm thinking, I might need to start saving now...LOLOL...:lol:

[sandygb]

OR.....It might be a pajama party at Margie's or Tina's in Ohio...LOLOL

[Amber Gray]

Okay I just can't keep a secret - everyone is getting their own cabana boy Sven - with a year supply of digital chocolate!

[webfrau]

:think: Hmmm... Might it involve water? I remember a discussion last year about ideas for a DSP activity that might be fun. If it's what I'm thinking, I might need to start saving now...LOLOL...:lol:

Not a cruise!! That would be too cruel to see everyone sailing off with their laptops under their arms!:shocked:

[kim]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM on both accounts :)

Okay I just can't keep a secret - everyone is getting their own cabana boy Sven - with a year supply of digital chocolate!

[mommabyrd2003]

DSU is going to become an accredited university which in turn will give us an excuse to scrap all day because we're technically doing university work.

Or...
We could all be going to Margie's house for a crop

Or...
We could all be going to Amanda's to meet the new bean

Or...
Adobe is releasing an official DSP digital scrapbooking version of Photoshop

Or...
We could all pretend we don't care anymore, so they'll tell us.

[carlalee]

Adobe is releasing an official DSP digital scrapbooking version of Photoshop
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what TRUE BLISSFUL LOVE!!! A powerful application like CS3 designed SPECIFICALLY for digiscrapping. To be able to tag and organize EVERYTHING and to have clear options designed with scrapping in mind, not try to retrofit photographer lingo...OH NO!!!! Now I've gone and done it! I'll be hearing Davy Jones in my head ALL FREAKIN' DAY! It's only fair I share with you! -c-

"Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen."

[Tara]

Or...
Adobe is releasing an official DSP digital scrapbooking version of Photoshop

Or...
We could all pretend we don't care anymore, so they'll tell us.

LOL on the pretending to not care!!!

Of course, I recently got CS3...so I'd be bummed if they came out with something new - - but that's not a half bad idea!!! Think we can make it happen Margie? :)

[elizabethlmccoy]

oh goodie i'm subscribed to this thread so I don't miss anything!!!! EXCITING!!!!

[bandwife]

I'm reeeeeaaaaaallllyyyyy good with secrets. So you can tell me.

[Lauren]

You can try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- LOLOL and tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!Las Vegas--that's it! :tup: :tup: Ok, gang--those of us going to LV are going to have to come up with a plan! :think: We can take the DSP team out and ply them with those giant margaritas! Someone is bound to have a slip of the tongue! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't worry, fellow members--we'll report back. We have our mission, and we will not fail!

[Margie]

oh but beans WILL be spilled in vegas!! :D

[Lauren]

Hey margie they can still ply me with margaritas anyway !!!!!!!!!!

[Lauren]

And beans being spilled sounds far to messy - Id rather spill something much more exciting than beans!!!

[TwoHeartsMom]

I don't like secrets ladies...It drives me insane. You wouldn't want me to be taken away in a straight jacket now would you?

[suvgal]

Ok DSP is taking a trip/cruise. During the day we will tour and take photos and then in the evening we scrap our photos and then party.

[Jill W]

Ok DSP is taking a trip/cruise. During the day we will tour and take photos and then in the evening we scrap our photos and then party.

:yahoo: yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo! Where do we sign up!? ;)

[javamama]

:yahoo: yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo! Where do we sign up!? ;)
A cruise? Oh well, count me in! And it's on DSP and free? OOOOOOOH double bonus! I am glad I just found out about this big news thing. Less time to drive me batty :)

[willjenni]

Pictures during the day....scrap and party at night.....just too good to be true!!:pray: :pray:

[jestep]

yep, the challenge winners on the cruise will get free page kits and the losers will get thrown overboard

[Tara]

No, no, June - the winners get a free copy of the DSP version of Adobe Photoshop suggested by mommabyrd that was created just for us.

[mommabyrd2003]

Those of us managing the homefront while you all party in Vegas will get some love right? Promise you'll spill the beans here too please...

[Lauren]

I will only spill margaritas and even then - not much = dont want to waste any - lolol but Im sure Margie sounds like shes right into spilling beans -

[Greenfingers]

we can't wait to share more and see all the :shocked: and the :yikes:.

We all take pity on you guys in the know. You "can't wait to share more"- don't let us inhibit you then. Just get it off your chests then you will all feel so much better:)

[Greenfingers]

btw I think DSP are going on a world tour- and since it is going to be so bright and sunny, you must be following summer round the globe. Don't forget Europe exists folks:)

[sssnoo]

wow - totally missed this thread - glad I'll be in vegas.

Speaking of Amanda's bean - has it arrived? I am sooooo out of it.

[Margie]

it has! she's spilled her bean :D
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29120

[Sharon1313]

I think there might be internet connections in Vegas... so I promise to spill any beans I hear rattling around!!

[ChristineG]

Way to watch out for us, Sharon. Surely somewhere in Vegas, you should be able to pick up a signal. :D

[sandygb]

And I better not hear "What happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas". :lol: :lol: :lol:

[diturpin]

Hmmm....I saw "DSP Certified Instructors" hinted about in another thread. Any chance that might relate to what's so secret in this thread???

Margarita glasses are already rimmed with salt and ready to go if anyone needs something to spill......

And a basket of chocolate bon bons....

[Emma]

curriculum would be huge too, but think bigger!

no Vegas! Not that we don't love Vegas, and we'll be there a ton more, but nothing like that

our own public stock, think smaller :)

[Margie]

hints? who said there would be video hints?! who posted this anyway?????? :D

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/videosca1.shtml

[Sharon1313]

Wow, I dig those crazy boots Mama Cass is wearing! ;)

Hmmmmm....... what could it mean?????

[carlalee]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm could DSP be moving to cold, windy, rainy and snowy California where the Adobe gods reside??? -c-

[carlalee]

You know in thinking about it for a minute, I seem to recall talk of an online Photoshop type product that would be available. It would be web oriented and wouldn't require the user to purchase PS or PSE. Could DSP be hosting this new web product????? -c-

[sandygb]

LOL. No clue what the video (hint or non-hint) could mean, but I sure enjoyed the trip down memory lane. LOLOL. Right out of my era!!! I had white go-go boots just like that.....except I wore them with my Hot Pants!!!! HeeHeeHee

[Noremacc]

hmmmmm, California Dreamin'... I bet you guys are opening up your own Digi Scrap Internet Cafe in LA?? :yahoo: :yahoo:

[Margie]

non-hint?! sandy! would we do that?? :shocked:

[Margie]

we should negotiate with sandy for her to dance for us in her boots and hot pants! :lol:

[Nicole Young]

ROTFLOL!!! Sandy...do you have any old photos of your hot pants and go-go boots???? I want to see a layout!!!!!!

[Cathiemarie]

MMMM, well the song is about California, so I'm guessing it's something happening out west. And since I can't be in Vegas, I think you should secretly tell me now to compensate for my dissappointment. I PROMISE, not to breath a word to anyone, I'd even send you a video of me dancing on the table in hot pants and mamma Cass's gogo boots. (oh no, that might act as a deterant rather than the carrot)

[scamptx]

Well, I'm going to Anaheim in a couple of weeks, even though DSP is not...it's the first time in CA in over twenty years. Are you saying that I might be tempted to make another trip out west this summer???? :yikes:

That really was a trip down memory lane! I didn't have the go-go boots and hot pants, but I had the bell bottoms and flowers in my hair!

[MaureenH]

California Dreamin...hmmm...guess I'll have to wait for the big reveal.

Anyway, Sandy I'm with you. That video brought back the memories. I had those go go boots and short shorts too...loved them. No photos of the go go boots survived, but here's one with short shorts. Looks perfect for a trip to California!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=237849

[guitargirl]

I know, I know!!! Margie's filming a music video with all the designers. :D :lol:

Okay, really, no clue what that meant!!!

[kathleen08]

Like a Superbowl Shuffle of the digiscrapbook queens? That would be sooo cool! There are some pretty funny lines from the 1985 Chicago Bears Superbowl Shufffle ... I wonder who would be Sweetness, Speedy Willie, the Punky QB or The Rookie.

This could be good (or really bad)! Come on, Ladies, put those dancing elves to shame!

~ Kathleen

[Margie]

while entertaining, i'm just thinking not! :D

maureen! look at those legs! :D

glad the hint sparked such fun memories!! just wait til the next one!! :)

[jestep]

ahhh, not to mention the mini skirt. i did get thrown out of school for a skirt too short...so i wore a granny gown and got thrown out for a skirt to the floor. they didnt take a lot of sass in those days. you had to get down on your knees in the gym and your skirt better touch the floor.

[mommabyrd2003]

....not going public....top secret meeting with Adobe...Adobe has been in growth mode aquiring companies for a bit now...DSP is moving to California to join the Adobe family?

It's been so long since we've been teased with any info I actually forgot about this thread. (well almost. I'm still trying the I don't care route to see if it works)

[Margie]

but aren't we all here really a part of the extended adobe family? :) i know our members spend enough to fund them well! :D

[mommabyrd2003]

True extended family. It's already a wonderful relationship - just think if we became immediate family. Just a guess. I'm running out of guesses, so I have to reach sky high for them.

[honeymoon]

California... stepping stone to moving to NZ??

[Margie]

what?? another hint already??!!!!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/videossj2.shtml

[kathleen08]

I probably haven't been around long enough to really guess, but sometime last year wasn't there some sort of an even in California? Another convention? With a laptop crop?

Hopefully just a few more days of torture and we'll find out!

~ Kathleen

[Margie]

we did a crop at CHA in anaheim, but CHA isn't in California this summer... :)

[missaboo]

Whatever it is, it's happening in San Jose!

[Tara]

Another hint??? What is Margie thinking?? I know - - I've got family in California and in San Jose - - we must be going to have a big party at my G-pa's house!!! (Um, and I believe that Adobe is in Mountain View - not San Jose...so keep guessing!!!)

[sandygb]

:think: Wellllll.......Adobe's corporate headquarters are located in San Jose....Hmmm...

[Margie]

that and tara sue's grandpa... :think:

[jestep]

so, tara sues grandpa is going to buy adobe, and donate it all to dsp who in turn is going to give everyone a new top of the line software for birthday this year...and, if your computer is not able to handle it, dsp is sending us all new computers too...plus....thirty minutes in the store to buy as much as we can and its all free. thats what i think is going on.

[Margie]

wow, that's uncanny. remind me to never try to fool her again! :D
really, i don't know her grandpa but if he did that, i'd kiss him right on the lips!!! :D
i have family in san jose too! maybe they know her grandpa...

[jestep]

okay, a winters day in san jose.....mama cass and dione are going to teach us classes....you have to just die to be in mama cass' class however....

[Tara]

Actually, I heard that Margie is going to step down from DSP and June is going to take over for her. Margie is then going to go run Adobe...and live in the spare room at my Grandpa's. She wants to hold a crop there, but she hasn't seen how small the room is.

[Margie]

yeah, kind of a bummer eh? :)
that's in response to both those posts! :D

[jestep]

okay, i get to be in charge of dsp ...cool.....lets start with a big, big sale. lol lol lol and, all of you who want to be chosen winners at chats....then, send me lots of gift certificates. my friends will all be well rewarded. margie....you need anything out there in california? you just call collect.

[jestep]

i have to hit the hay...all you dsp'ers get over to the store and shop your brains out....since i am in charge now...tara sue said so.....i am giving myself a big raise and you all have to start spending more, more and more !!!!!

[Whisper Pink]

we should negotiate with sandy for her to dance for us in her boots and hot pants! :lol:

Hey Margie...if we can get Sandy to do a LO of her boots and Hot Pants...well you tell us then ???

Sandy you would do that for the good of the cause ... wouldn't ya :D ???

[ChristineG]

so, tara sues grandpa is going to buy adobe, and donate it all to dsp who in turn is going to give everyone a new top of the line software for birthday this year...and, if your computer is not able to handle it, dsp is sending us all new computers too...plus....thirty minutes in the store to buy as much as we can and its all free. thats what i think is going on.

I could get a lot in my cart in 30 minutes. :lol:

[mommabyrd2003]

Scrap across the country starting in Cali at Tara's Grandpa's?

[pinky7]

I haven't a clue, but it seems I need to call my brother and tell him I plan on spending some time there this summer! He lives up by San Jose! (Can I have another clue yet?)

[sunhappy]

Hmm--I got married in hot pants, no go-go boots though. Ah for those legs again!

[TwoHeartsMom]

Oh. I've got it...Adobe is releasing a Scrapper's Edition of Photoshop with DSP products built in. I just bought PSE 6.0 and haven't installed it yet. Should I return it and wait?

[sandygb]

Hey Margie...if we can get Sandy to do a LO of her boots and Hot Pants...well you tell us then ???

Sandy you would do that for the good of the cause ... wouldn't ya :D ???

LOL Chris!!! I would do it alright.....but the way I would look in them nowadays......well.....maybe I could pass as a comedy act.....otherwise, I suspect they would pay me to put more clothes ON! :lol: :lol: :lol:

"you have to just die to be in mama cass' class" ROTFLOLOL June. Too funny!!!

[pinky7]

They are not answering us!! TOO busy winning money in Las Vegas??

[TwoHeartsMom]

I don't think they'd tell us even if we did guess correctly.

[bendipez]

Hmm! DSP is going to open a retail store in san jose! So now when Shawn wants to go to the big hobby store in san jose i can go to my hobby store! Since i only live about 40 minutes from san jose this would be great. Oh well, i'll just wait till saturday.

[elizabethlmccoy]

I'll keep dreaming about what could be this summer...its nice to dream....maybe one will become a reality.

[Tara]

Scrap across the country starting in Cali at Tara's Grandpa's?

This is my guess as well! Only there will be a dress code at the crop: go-go boots and hot pants! It'll be like Extreme Makeover's makeover in all 50 states - DSP doesn't want to neglect anyone so we'll be having a crop in every state!!! Members from each state are allowed to set their own ridiculous dress code for "their" crop and get to choose teaser promo videos when their state is next.

I like this idea! Hmmm...what states do we have? What dress code would you choose?

[ChristineG]

Hey, I missed that we were going to find out Saturday. :yahoo:

[Noremacc]

For Florida it would have to be beach wear, Micky Mouse Ears, and flip flops. The song, “Way down upon the Suwannee River”… :lol:

[willjenni]

For Minnesota (this is winter MN mind you) we would have cuddle dud long underwear, two sweatshirts, boots and a fuzzy hat with flaps over our ears. We would also show up with a bag of home made beef jerky in one hand and a bottle of peppermint schnapps in the other one to pass around to keep everyone warm. But we would be telling stories of how it was REALLY cold 20 years ago....you betch ya! Doooon't ya knooooow! .....ok, I might be getting myself in hot water with this post....but the peppermint schnapps and beef jerky....true story on the bus to dh's company Christmas party. I kid you not....and we had a ball!:lol: :tup: :lol: Someone else come up with a summer MN post!

[caraffle]

Well Ladies, I just found this thread and my head is swimming with possiblities.....I can see it now. Required 'Scrapping' in all public schools with Gov. ARNOLD, learning right along with all of the children.

As far as the 50 states crop, You have to come to PA fro the 4th of July, there are so many great parades, shows and fireworks to keep your cameras humming. Our atire will have to be patriotic! Sandy can were Red,White and Blue Hot pants. And BTW, why stop at 50 states, We need to get out to the rest of the world. (Although a bus won't work for that so we need a plane, anybody got one they can lend us.) I have always wanted to see Australia, NZ, S Africa, etc, etc, etc! Irene, can we all come and stay with you in Russia?

I guess its a good thing that I only have to wait till tomorrow to find out the big surprize.

[missaboo]

Ok, with clue #3, this is what I am imagining:

There will be a crop or some event in California that Adobe will be hosting where they will give out the newest PS to everyone who comes! LOL

Ok, whether it is or isn't, I know it involves Cali and Adobe!!!

[mommabyrd2003]

Adobe is going to start a on-line drop & drag premade scrapping site which will use DSP products exclusively.

Okay, it's officially the 2nd in DSP time which means Vegas is offically started. So SPILL it already - we're all dying and depressed that we're at home and not in Vegas.

[Cathiemarie]

Clue 3, I've only seen two clues, what was the third one. I saw 'California Dreamin' and '....San Jose' wheres the third clue missy boooooo?????

[mommabyrd2003]

It's in the first post. I don't remember it or I'd give you a summary. Sad that I don't remember since I just watched it about a hour ago.

[Cathiemarie]

Here's my uneducated guess, DSP and Adobe are going to hold some classes for digiscrappers in San Jose. Here's dreaming. LOL

[carlalee]

OMG!!!!!! I HAVE IT!!!!! We're ALL going to make clay pots to sell at the Adobe HQ in San Jose in order to afford our digital addiction! It'll be like the Girl Scouts. Top sellers will get Adobe software! WOW! How cool is that???? -c-

[TwoHeartsMom]

Okay. I really think I've got it now. Adobe is acquiring DSP. The DSP staff will remain.

[pinky7]

Ok, with clue #3, this is what I am imagining:

There will be a crop or some event in California that Adobe will be hosting where they will give out the newest PS to everyone who comes! LOL

This is good! :yahoo: Why not? You go to the Oprah show and they give everybody there a book or whatever they talked about that day! The last one I saw they gave everybody the new inventions they talked about on the show! She had at least 6 inventors on the show and they each gave everybody in the audience the things they had invented. I was wishing I lived to Chicago to go to the show!! Everyone left with at least $600 dollars worth of stuff! :tup: :eek:

I live in California! So spill so I can make my plans to be there!! Oh, Margie? Margie, where are you??? :rolleyes:

[Tina]

well, someone has it right(ish), but who??????

[mommabyrd2003]

Me and my on-line theory? Any word on when the announcement will be made in Vegas?

[carlalee]

Hmmmmmmmmm...Have we been looking at this all wrong??? Maybe just maybe DSP IS buying ADOBE?!?!?!?!?!? -c-

[sandygb]

Hmm....Here's another guess from me....

Adobe is going to announce a new product geared specifically to digital scrapbookers, and DSP has been working with them to help develop it. WE will be the Beta testers for the product and get free copies (or free access).....YAY!

[Sharon1313]

Margie promises the announcement is coming today... watch the DSP blog for updates! http://digitalscrapbookplace.blogspot.com/

[TwoHeartsMom]

well, someone has it right(ish), but who??????
It has to be me Tina. I have it right, don't I? The waiting is driving me nuts. Has anyone seen the blog photo? Look in the background of the one photo. The banner says Digital Scrapbooking 1-2-3, DSP and Adobe.

[willjenni]

Marilyn, I noticed it also....first thing I saw on the blog photo....that has to be something to do with this...

[Cathiemarie]

Me I'm right'ish - I can read the banner - Adobe and DSP have joined together to make scrapping as easy as 1-2-3 and we're all invited to San Jose this summer to play with the new stuff and learn how to use it. If I've guessed correctly is my prize a free place????

[Margie]

hee hee heeeeeee, don't you just LOVE surprises????? the adobe marketing manager just left the crop, after promising a copy of PSE6 and CS3 as prizes for two lucky attendees! wonder what else she talked about?????? :D

[Margie]

bendipez is my current favorite member!!!! i'll have to take a photo of my new OHIO STATE pez dispenser!!!!!!!! :)

[Cathiemarie]

Ah come on Margie, spill the beans, we are all so depressed at not being there, and you have the power to cheer us all up.

[willjenni]

Gads, I'm wearing out the send/receive button on my e-mail alerts....spill it already!!!

[carlalee]

OH JEEPERS!!! This qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment I'm sure!!!!! -c-

[Margie]

[elizabethlmccoy]

[jestep]

[Tara]

And it doesn't even involve my grandpa! :)

Now...who is as excited as I am??? Remember when we heard that Margie and Amanda got to visit "Mecca"? We were all so excited and jealous...and now WE get to go!!!

[ChristineG]

Wahoo, I missed something however, where exactly is Adobe headquarters? Is that San Jose, CA? Hmmmm I need to start planning right now. :D

[ChristineG]

OK, I just googled and looks like it is San Jose, CA (never was good at waiting for answers) and guess what San Jose is only about 3 hours from my mom! I think I need to go visit her at the end of July, I just got an urge. :lol:
