KY-OH Crop

[KY Bumpkin]

Tina and I are working on maybe having a crop April 26th in Maysville KY. Easily accessible from Lexington, KY Florence KY, Cincinnati, OH, Portsmouth OH, and even from small burgs inbetween, LOL!

Just wondering how many we have from these general areas, and what the interest would be!

Post here if you're interested! We're not firm on that date, just that it can't be BEFORE that date :)

Update!!
:yahoo: We're Booked :yahoo:

April 26 2008
10AM to 4PM

Bring your laptop or Desktop if you so desire!

Plan to have fun, chat, and meet some friends!

Event location:

Orangeburg Community Center/Fire Department
8002 Day Pike
Maysville, KY 41056

This is directly off the AA Highway, also called Rt 9. The building is East of Maysville. It can easily be seen from the AA Highway. It will be on the left hand side of the AA Highway. I noticed on Mapquest it's still calling Rt 9 546, which was it's name long long ago, LOL!

From Cincinnati Direction:
The only major road I know is the 275 outerbelt, LOL! Lucky for me, the AA Highway intersects 275 at Wilder, KY ;) Just get on the AA and head towards Maysville, which as I recall all the signs say is South.

From Lexington Direction:
Catch 68 North to Maysville. The AA crosses 68 in Maysville. Turn RIGHT at that intersection, and follow the AA until you see the building.

I will draw out a little map over the weekend and post it here so it's a little easier to follow visually.

Hotels locally:

Hampton Inn
606-759-0600
Only been open a couple of years. Closest to Orangeburg Community Center. Unknown on wifi access. About 12 minutes from the Community Center. 10 if you speed :p My parents stayed there and said accomadations were excellent.

French Quarter
606-564-8000
Located in dowtown Maysville, approximately 15-20 minutes from the Community Center. Sits right on the river and has a wonderful view. Very nice accomadations, or so I've been told. Has free wifi.

Best Western
606-759-5696
Have heard some complaints from folks who have stayed there, but no first hand experience. I'm just throwing it out as a possible because its there :)

Hotels in Lexington and Florence KY would be about an hour from the site, and any in Cincinnati on the South East side would be about an hour also. Throwing that out for consideration, as Maysville is a small place, so not much exciting to do at night except watch the stars or the river go by! There are some local bars and watering holes, but I don't frequent any, so can't recommend any, sorry!

I am working on an internet connection at the Community Center, so hopefully I'll be able to pull that one off :tup:

[Margie]

you know i'm in! well, now you do. :D i'm about 2.5 hours away, which i'll gladly drive, or maybe work around a camping trip! or work a camping trip around it... :)

[KY Bumpkin]

OK, someone else HAS to show too! I don't think I can keep BOTH Tina AND Margie in line by myself, LOL!

[Elisabeth]

*checks flights and husband objections*....

[Linda Rechtin]

:yahoo: I am SOOOOOOOOOO there!!!!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh and its on a Saturday! Yippeeee! I will bring a chocolate cake...I promise...!

Linda

[Tina]

yay!!! Will be fun!!

Reba must not have seen this thread, but she told me in a PM when I asked, that she'd be in too!

[missaboo]

Oh I'd love to come but it's a 5 hour drive for me. :( Not sure DH would go for it. I'll see what I can do.

[diturpin]

Oooooh! 4hours and 55 minutes away....that is really tempting. Have to check with DH...

[KY Bumpkin]

OMG Z it would be FANTASTIC if you could come! I would soooooo love to meet you in person! You know, as apposed to not in person, LOL!

diturpin I've made several trips from here to Nashville for corporate meetings. Not a bad drive!

missaboo what part of W Virginia are you from? I trained at the VA in Huntington! Been to Charleston a couple of times too!

[missaboo]

missaboo what part of W Virginaia are you from? I trained at the VA in Huntington! Been to Charleston a couple of times too!

Hi! Are you a nurse? I live in the southernmost part of WV, about 3 hours from Huntington.

[KY Bumpkin]

Actually I'm a registered Medical Lab Technician by training. Left the field though about 8 years ago to play with the computers at the local hospital, and they still pay me, LOL! I take it you're a nurse?

[guitargirl]

It's about 3 hours for me. I'd love to come, but I'm not sure if I can get away that weekend. But I'm definitely interested!

[kydeb]

I interested for sure!! It's about a 2 hour drive for me - I haven't checked my calendar yet but I'm thinking this would work!!

[mommabyrd2003]

I'm in at least in my opinion. I'm about 2 1/2 hours away. I'll have to lug my desktop with me since I don't have a desktop, however it would be completely worth it to meet some of my fellow DSPers. Isn't Suzanne somewhere in Indiana?

[missaboo]

Actually I'm a registered Medical Lab Technician by training. Left the field though about 8 years ago to play with the computers at the local hospital, and they still pay me, LOL! I take it you're a nurse?

LOL, no, I'm not a nurse. I was just asking if you were because you said you trained at the VA. My DH goes to the VA in Beckley for his medical care.

[KY Bumpkin]

OH OK! Well hopefully they're taking good care of him!

[Tina]

yay!!!!!!!! lotsa people! yay!!!

[dapupsmom]

It's a three hour trip for me from Indiana, but I'm really interested in it. I don't have a laptop either, but from what I've heard, you don't really need to have one to attend the crop. And it's after tax time, so there's another reason to celebrate!

[SillyScrapper]

Very tempting -- but a bit to far to drive

[greeneyedgirl47]

Melissa, would you be willing to go if you only had part way to drive? I am thinking about going and maybe Pam(wuzzygirl) too? I just saw this so I will have to point her in this direction and let her answer for herself!!:clap:

[flrebareba]

Well Count me in..... I live in Kentucky but its only about 2 hours away. My HD also works there so If its the week end I will be in Maysville anyway. I dont have a laptop but hope to take my sons with me.

[Tina]

well, I HAVE a laptop, but its old and sad, and doesnt have PSCS2 on it. I'm afraid if I tried to put it on there, it'd give up the ghost! LOL! I'll take it, but don't know I'll get much scrapping done anyway!

Lori and I have fun planned, and DSP prizes too :D

[Linda Rechtin]

Wow...this is turning into a real party girls....!

[JusteKash]

I'm also in Indiana and only about 2 hours or less from Florence, so I'd definitely be interested. It sounds like fun!!

[kristy1129]

I would love to come! Just would have to check. What part of Indiana are you girls from? I'm in Indianapolis. I wish there was something around here. I know Ritz Camera did one a while back but I wasn't able to go.

[WoodsyWoman]

Okay, I'm thinking about it. I've been looking for a road trip for myself.

Any others from Michigan want to share a ride??

I just have to check the dates on some obligations that I have.

[dapupsmom]

Hi Kristy! I'm also in Indianapolis. I missed the Ritz Camera event last year, cause we had suite tickets for qualifications. I'm really wanting to go to this though, and meet everyone!

Is there a cost for the crop?? DH is warming up to the idea. :)

[TwoHeartsMom]

Hmmm. It's a 5.5 hour drive for me. What is the closest airport? I might find a cheap flight.

[flrebareba]

Hmmm. It's a 5.5 hour drive for me. What is the closest airport? I might find a cheap flight.

The I think the covington- Cincinnati would be the closest I think

[Tina]

Marilyn, the closest airport is still an hour and a half away. The Great Cincinnati International Airport is in Covington, Ky (aka CVG). Don't ask why the "Cincinnati" airport is in Kentucky. We have no idea. lololol!!! I doubt you'd find a 'cheap' flight tho, as it was recently named the most expensive airport in the country.

Louisville Ky is much much cheaper, but is 2.5 hrs from Maysville.

[kydeb]

Marilyn, the Lexington airport would be an option too and I live in Frankfort KY. Maybe if you fly into that airport, we can work something out.

[nanaw]

I would love to be there, about 4 hours for me so I will check my calendar. Sounds like a great time and I would love to meet some of my online friends in person!!!

Um well obviously it's 'cause the airport had to go in God's Country :tup:

Sorry, couldn't pass that one up Tina :D

[KY Bumpkin]

Well I can't PROMISE this because I don't know hubby's schedule as yet, but possibly I could send him (oops I mean ask him;) ) to the Lexington airpoirt to run a shuttle back to the crop if there's really going to be some want to fly in. I'd come myself, but I'll be tied up getting the crop room ready! I will check with him and see if he has anything himself that day.

Or maybe if someone from that area is coming, they'd be willing to do a pickup maybe?

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh look, kydeb has offered! Problem solved! I missed that post, sorry!

[KY Bumpkin]

missaboo sorry I forgot to answer your question too! No charge at this time! Only thing we're going to do is order pizza or fast food for lunch, so you'll need some cash for that!

[missaboo]

missaboo sorry I forgot to answer your question too! No charge at this time! Only thing we're going to do is order pizza or fast food for lunch, so you'll need some cash for that!

Ok, cool! Any estimate on what time the crop will start and end? I just was wondering so I could reserve a room if needed!

[Tina]

Um well obviously it's 'cause the airport had to go in God's Country :tup:

Sorry, couldn't pass that one up Tina :D

You are mistaken there Lori. The reason is there wasn't a name good enough in KY, so they had to pick one from God's Country.

[flrebareba]

LOL Tina I don't think so !!! BLW do we know yet where in Maysville it is going to be ???

[KY Bumpkin]

Bwaaahaaaa Tina!

Crop will be slightly East of Maysville at the Orangeburg Community Center. Located right off the AA highway with plenty of good parking! Looks like there's enough interest, so I'm going to go ahead and see if I can book the building for that April 26th date. If it's not available, I'll move to the following weekend!

Stay tuned for a date and time confirmation!

[TwoHeartsMom]

Thanks for all of the info ladies. I should have checked my calendar first. I was a little too excited. My niece is having her first communion that day. Boo hoo.

I was thinking of hosting a crop sometime this summer, maybe August at my country club. We'd only have to pay for the food. I could try to arrange it so that spouses and kids could come and golf, swim and play tennis. (There would be a fee for activites. I know swimming is $5.) Any thoughts?

[kristy1129]

Do you know if there is going to be a crop at Ritz again this year?

[mommabyrd2003]

I'm going to bribe Neilston into coming with me and making it a mini-vacation. He and the kids can swim at the hotel while I visit.

10AM to 4PM

Bring your laptop or Desktop if you so desire!

Plan to have fun, chat, and meet some friends!

[Tina]

Ok girls, we'll need to be thinking of ATC's! We will want to trade them for sure!

In a few weeks Lori and I will be asking for a list of those who are definite for the crop.

We've got fun planned! Who knows if we'll even scrap much, so don't let the lack of laptop keep you away!

[kydeb]

I don't if anyone is interested or could work it in, but April 25th is the last day of the spring meet at Keeneland in Lexington. If you've never been, it's a beautiful track and there are lots of great photo ops there! Their website is www.keeneland.com if you want to take a look.

[nanaw]

Ok, I'm planning to come and bring my mom but I need to know the EXACT address of the facility. If anyone has it please let me know. Need to book a room as I will be there the night before. Thanks Ladies

[Tina]

Lori will know, I'll email her.

[Debi]

I might have to try to make this one! Sounds fun! Looks like about 2 3/4 hours from my house.

[Tina]

you can hitch w/ margie

[Debi]

If she'll have me... We're scrapping in Troy tonight so maybe we can talk some more of our locals to come with us!

[Margie]

it's a laptop roadtrip!!!! :D

[missaboo]

Well I have to go now!! I've got to meet you all!!! I still haven't asked my brother for his laptop and not sure I can convince hubby to bring along our desktop. But from what I gather, we may not be doing a whole lot of scrapping anyway! ;)

[kim]

How fun!!! Wish I could come ***sniff*** ***sniff***

[flrebareba]

Woo Hoo I just go back from Maysville today and I have to say I know right where that site it. I saw it on the way to see a covered bridge.It is about 5 mile from there. I saw 5 of them this week there. there are so many all around there. If anyone is interested I have directions too lots and have been to most in that area. Off to add my blinkie... See you all there.

[scamptx]

I just found this thread--do you know how tempted I am to try to come??? Maysville is where my great-greats are buried--where the family got started! It's always been on my list of genealogy road trips...hmmmm. And Reba, I don't know why that didn't connect when you said that your DH was working up in KY!

[Margie]

scamp, come see us!! there's sooooo nothing else to do around here, but hey, if it's on your list!!!

[flrebareba]

Yes scamp come on down I could show you around the town I find lots to do and see there.I will be taking the week off so I have time. It is also our anniversary on the 28th. and of course he will be working so I will be there.

[scamptx]

:tup: :tup: :tup:

Check out the blinkie!!! I've got my ticket!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Do you think I'll get the prize for coming the furthest, or is Lauren coming too!! :lol: :lol:

[mommabyrd2003]

I think we do need to at least buy Scamp's lunch. That's quite a trip just to meet us Tri-State girls.

[flrebareba]

Yes I think so too. I will chip in :)

[Tina]

I'll chip in!

[javamama]

I am so wanting to be there. I just found this and will have to check with the DH. I'll put the full court press on ;) and let you know soon. Yippeeeee!!!!!

[Margie]

amie, we can all carpool!

[javamama]

amie, we can all carpool!
Well people better make way, then, cuz we will be setting the highway on fire! Sounds like too much fun to pass up :) I just have to rearrange my work schedule...

[diturpin]

Just got rid of all my obligations (aka passed my work off to someone else) and I plan to be there! Hubby owes me for years of letting him go to NASCAR races with the guys!

[KY Bumpkin]

Wow scamp! I'll definately chip in towards your lunch too, LOL!

[kydeb]

I've already done my ATC for the crop and posted here. Please let me know what you think. It's here:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=248029&ppuser=35299

I can't wait until the crop - it's going to be sooooo much fun!!

[kydeb]

I've had a couple of questions about the ATC size. I did mine 2.5 x 3.5 because that's what I had done for an ATC crop one time before. I hope that's right this time --- I sure don't want to lead everyone astray!!

[KY Bumpkin]

Beats me Deb, I'm an ATC dummy, LOL! Maybe some ATC smartie will come along and confirm the size for us shortly!

[mommabyrd2003]

I need an ATC smartie too! I'm assuming we print them? I know I've seen some that are specific to the event. To be honest I never really paid attn because this will be my first digi crop. I've taken my PC to the cabin with my paper friends before, however I've never been to a crop where I'm not the only digi scrapper.

[Tina]

what size is a business card? thats the size I'm thinking. That sounds right, doesn't it for business cards?

[diturpin]

Business cards are 2x3 1/2. 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 would be a little bit larger. You can print and cut 12 BC (2x3 1/2) out of a letter size piece of paper. (Can you tell I used to work for a printer - Business Cards Expresss!)

[diturpin]

Trading cards (like baseball) are a little larger - They may be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 - not sure.

[kydeb]

I think the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 is like a baseball card. I think that's why the ATCs are that size - they're like baseball trading cards.

[Tina]

Hey girls, if you are coming to the crop, could you please post in this thread?

thanks

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30485

[scamptx]

ATCs are the size of trading cards...here's a thread where a lot of us got our information when we started making them. Hope this helps!

Oh me oh my I wish I could come to this! That's 2 hours from my home. But it's about 620 miles from where I'll actually be in April! I hope you ladies have a marvelous time in 'my old Kentucky home', I'll be scrapping with you in spirit!

[Tina]

aww bummer! We'd love to of had you! If this goes well, we might do another! I could do one in my area, but.... there's NOTHING around here! There is an area about 45 mins away w/ a mall and stuff, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to rent a room. Something we could check into and have people chip in.

Course, I'm putting my cart before the horse!

[mommysmemories]

There's only one thing I'd miss this for - Women of Faith. And don't you know it's the same weekend? Darn! I'll be in Columbus - don't have too much fun without me! ;)

[Margie]

we'll miss you kendra! but i can't promise not to have too much fun!! :D

[mommabyrd2003]

Didn't think about that - it is WOF. I go to WOF every other year and now I'm glad it's my off year. It'll save me the I wish I was doing something fun because everyone is misery. Have a great time Kendra. You tell us about WOF and we'll fill you in.

[Tina]

oh we'll miss you Kendra! Christina, glad its your year off!

[Tina]

PS- make sure you do ATC's b/c we'll be drawing for door prizes with them!

[mommabyrd2003]

Normal business card size correct? There was enough pressure before to create my very first ATC and now prizes are at stake.

[diturpin]

2 1/2 x 3 1/2 size - You'd think DET was enough pressure, but nooooooo waaaaayyyyy! Now I've got to get a photo of me....:eek: ...and do some major photoshop work...:yikes: ..too much to think about, I'm off to bed!
Tomorrows another day:tup:

[Tina]

It doesn't HAVE to have your photo. Does that help any pressure?

[mommabyrd2003]

If I include a photo I'll probably do either one of Bella and Kaylor or Eban after all you know their faces better than mine, since they are my favorite scrapping models. It is still pressure though.

[Margie]

uh, don't be like me and forget people will actually SEE you there in real life!! no worries about the pic! :D

[Margie]

ah, look what we're missing!

Clooney to Screen New Movie in Ky.
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:53:51 AM
By BRUCE SCHREINER

For one night, Maysville will be Hollywood along the Ohio River, thanks to George Clooney.

The 46-year-old actor-director will visit the northern Kentucky town Monday night for a special screening of his new movie, "Leatherheads," his father, Nick Clooney, said Tuesday.

"The whole town is abuzz," said Maysville Mayor David Cartmell.

Clooney, who won an Oscar for his role in "Syriana," grew up in the town of Augusta, about 16 miles west of Maysville.

The setting has special significance for the Clooney family. In 1953, "The Stars Are Singing," starring Rosemary Clooney, George Clooney's aunt, premiered in Maysville.

"He knows all about that, and he is very interested in kind of connecting the dots as far as family history," Nick Clooney said. "He thinks that would be kind of cool for the family, and one hopes for the town, too."

Nick and Rosemary Clooney were born in Maysville. George Clooney was born in Lexington, and the family moved several times before settling in Augusta.

"Leatherheads," which also stars Renee Zellweger, is a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s professional football. The film will be in theaters April 4.

The movie will be shown at the Washington Opera Theatre, Nick Clooney and Universal Studios said Tuesday.

Cartmell said Monday night's screening will probably be the biggest event in the town of about 9,000 since the premiere of "The Stars Are Singing."

It will also be the hottest ticket in town.

Nick Clooney said about 300 seats will be available. The opera house seats about 450 people, but equipment needed to show the movie will take up space in the balcony, he said.

Cartmell said he expects the town to catch Hollywood fever.

"Next week, we'll be Hollywood on the Ohio," he said.

[KY Bumpkin]

Do you want me to run down and take pictures for you, LOL!

[Tina]

Yeah, you do that! Lauren looooooves George.

[flrebareba]

I do too and my HD says I come to Maysville to see if George is in town not to just see him....lol
Is that the 24th of March ??? this Monday?

[scamptx]

I had seen the local paper earlier where this was being discussed as a possibility--that's pretty exciting that it's really going to happen! To bad we can't get him to play Sven for the crop! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Elisabeth]

So after 4 pm can we go in search of Webkinz?

[Tina]

So after 4 pm can we go in search of Webkinz?

You bet!

[scamptx]

I was going to show my total ignorance and ask what a webkinz was, but web savvy prevailed in the form of google:

You can find Webkinz plush toys at the following locations:

DAWAHARES
BLUEGRASS SHOPPING CTR, 1136 US HWY 68 SOUTH MAYSVILLE KY 41056 606.563.0805

KIRLIN'S HALLMARK
MARKET SQUARE S/C, 407 MARKET SQUARE DR. MAYSVILLE KY 41056 606.759.9127
TRENDY TURTLE
9 W 2ND ST MAYSVILLE KY 41056 606.564.7702

We suggest you call ahead to ensure that the Webkinz or Lil Kinz plush toy that you are looking for is available.

Shows my generation gap, I guess! :lol: :lol:

[diturpin]

Shhhhhh! :cool: Don't let my daughter find out about these! We just got out of build-a-bear collecting and I don't want her to start another "collection.":rolleyes:

I'm like you scamp, I had to google it! :tup: What did we do before google?

They are cute though!

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh well my goodness, we may have to reschedule the crop so as not to interfere with Webkinz Day :lol: Not a chance!!

Sooooo,

A few of us have been talking about going out for dinner after the crop. If you are interested, please let me know. I need a rough number so I can call some places and see who can handle a walk in of whatever size we may have.

We have not decided on a place yet, but the options are DeShas, Bob Evans, Capronis, or Applebees. All have multi-selection menus, so most everyone could find something to eat at any of these locations.

Just post if you're in for dinner!!

For the crop, we're going to all chip in and order pizza/drinks for lunch. We'll be providing drinks in the form of Lemonade, Iced Tea, water, and coffee. Pop machines are available at the Community Center if you prefer that. We'll also have a few prepackaged snacks. Anyone who wants to bring prepackaged chips, cookies, snacks, etc is welcome to, if you have a perosonal favorite!

[Tina]

yes, lets bring LOTS of food w/ us! :D and YAY for delivery of pizza!

[Tina]

Be sure to make your ATC's!!! (we'll draw for prizes with them!) and put your name on them so they can double as your name tag!

[scamptx]

I'll be up for dinner after! Count me in!

[javamama]

Tina- looove your new avatar! How precious :) Yes, yes, yes on the food and the pizza! I'm in! :)

[Tina]

Thanks Amie. It was actually taken last summer by Lauren :D

[stacyh270]

Shucks, darn, drat! I just got started in digi a few weeks ago and the crop in only about 3 1/2 hours away BUT our vacation bible school training is that day.....and I'm the director! Again, shucks, darn, drat, stomp! You can tell I'm from the sticks :)

[scamptx]

Well dagnabbit! I think as director you should make an executive decision and reschedule!!

[Elisabeth]

I'm in for dinner too! And chipping in for scamptx's lunch as well!

[scamptx]

Thanks, you are so kind--but you really don't have to do that! :hug: :hug: I'm just looking forward to this next adventure! :tup:

[missaboo]

*STUPID QUESTION ALERT* Do we make a ATC to give to each person at the crop, or do we make one to wear? I don't know how that works :(.

[Tina]

all of the above, Melissa :D

[missaboo]

Alrighty, do we have a count yet? How many should I make?

As far as I know, if the creeks don't rise and the Good Lord's willing, we'll be there!

[Tina]

I think the count is about 18. I'm making 20-25 to be safe!

[missaboo]

I think the count is about 18. I'm making 20-25 to be safe!

Great! I'll get started :).

[Tina]

[Margie]

a DET's coming?! yay! :D now, is that paul overstreet that's stuck in my head now?? if the good lord's willin' and the creek don't riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise..... i'm gonna make it to the other side...

[Linda Rechtin]

Count me in on dinner too! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! You are gonna be there too for sure Z??? Whoooo Hooooo!
I am gonna try real hard to make my chocolate cake too. (and man, is it chocolatey!!!)
Ummmmmm, sorry if this has already been stated - but what time are we all hooking up for the crop?

[mommabyrd2003]

More than likely I won't make dinner because Neilston and the kids will be with me. They're being good sports hanging out at the hotel all day. I'm completely uninspired as far as my ATC goes. Anyone had any wonderful ideas?

[SillyScrapper]

Man all this talk has me really wanting to join ya'll, unfortunately it my weekend to work, nd it would probably be about 5-6 hr drive :((((((


I wanna play!!!

[flrebareba]

I was hoping you would pop in and confirm you were coming.. woohoo Lu Lu is coming too.

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh I'm SUCH A PUTZ!! I should have said kids and spouses/friends welcome for dinner too! We just need numbers! My kids are all coming. I'll try not to let them embarress us! I'm paying Z to be in charge of them!

[flrebareba]

Lori Tumbleweed's is another great choice too. They have multi-selection menu. Any are fine with me.. I have ate at them all. :):)

[Tina]

Christina, my ATC is pretty darn plain 'n basic!

[nanaw]

Ok, I too am completely unspired when it comes to ATC's, would like to see some. What do you mean "make one to wear"? This will be my first crop so it is all new to me. And maybe I missed it but where is the majority of folks staying? Is someone going to post a sort of agenda? Thanks all

[Margie]

here are two galleries of them!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3791

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=1190

and no agenda, just come and hang out!

[diturpin]

Oh, man, I would love to stay for dinner, BUT I've got to get home Saturday night and it's about a 4 1/2 hour drive so I'll have to pass.

[mommabyrd2003]

If you all don't mind having the little ones around then we're in for dinner. There will be 4 of us. Doesn't matter where we eat as long as it isn't a peanut or other nut factory because Isabella would be no fun then. :-)

[Tina]

Ok, I too am completely unspired when it comes to ATC's, would like to see some. What do you mean "make one to wear"?

We will have name tag holders and lanyards, so you'll be able to slip your ATC in there and wear it as your name tag.

[Elisabeth]

Yay Linda! And Missy! And yay to Christina bringing family to dinner! I'm bringing mine! My girl will love being around the other kids.

I did my ATC yesterday and it's kind of sloppy and messy. Sort of on purpose. I used a kit that isn't in the store yet for most of it.

[mommabyrd2003]

Just invited dschankula1 to join us. She is a new member from Perrysburg, Ohio. I happened to notice because her post was the newest in the Welcome forum. You all have no idea how excited Isabella and Kaylor are to meet you. I think the dinner offer topped the pool.

[Margie]

she's wayyyy up north, but i offered a spot in my van! :D
no family for me (it's my me time!!) but my crew will probably be staying to eat too!

[Amandem]

Oh my gosh this stinks! I'd love to come and meet some of you ladies and pick your brains for help with digital scrapping, but darnit! My husband and Navy pulled me from Ashland, KY and put us up in CT so it's way to far of a drive. Wouldn't you know it, something happens in the area when I'm not there. Poop! I hope you guys have TONS of fun and lots of inspirations!

[KY Bumpkin]

If you all don't mind having the little ones around then we're in for dinner. There will be 4 of us. Doesn't matter where we eat as long as it isn't a peanut or other nut factory because Isabella would be no fun then. :-)

:lol: Ok then, we'll try to avoid that!

And HOW could I forget Tumbleweed :eek: I'm hoping to find a place that can put us up in a secluded area of some type off from everyone else so we can have a good time and not worry about the kids particularly having to stay seated and acting like adults, LOL! Lord knows plenty of US won't be acting like adults (looks Z's, Tina's, and Margie's direction) :lol:

[Tina]

who? moi? :shocked:

I can act like a growed up. if i try. reaaally hard.

[flrebareba]

Her is my ATC well the 1st one. I done have many photos of me and I done like any of them any way. any CC is welcome.
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=254522&cat=all&limit=last7

[kydeb]

Okay, before I print my ATCs, I'm confused on the size. I made mine 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 like baseball trading cards and the ATC info in the DSP thread. Is that right or do I need to resize them to business card size? Could someone please post a final decision on this? I know it may be someone in this thread but I can't seem to find it. Thanks!!

[Tina]

Deb, I did mine business card sized just b/c they'd be easier to print. Margie said the name tag holders we are using are 2.5x3.5 and she's made her cards that size. Mine will just be skinny! LOL!!! At least something about me will be ;)

You are golden @ 2.5x3.5!

[scamptx]

Sneaking in from work to let you know they should be baseball card size. People who collect them actually buy the sleeves to put them in...

[scamptx]

OK--Acckkk. But either way is fine--business card size will fit in the sleeves, just not something larger!

[Tina]

mine wouldn't be larger, just skinnier :D If its a big deal, I can resize them, they aren't printed and are still saved in layers. LMK!

[KY Bumpkin]

I'm going to make an executive decision that ATC's should be 2.5 x 3.5 or smaller.

Does that work for everyone :lol:

[Tina]

hahaha

[kydeb]

Thanks for the info! I'll get to printing mine! Can't believe the crop is this week!!

[KY Bumpkin]

OK, we have a reservation for 20 at Tumbleweeds for 5:00PM. We're in the alcove which is an area off to the side, so hopefully we can get somewhat wild and not disturb anyone else, LOL!

I chose Tumbleweed because its close to the Hallmark so anyone wanting to do Webkinz Extravagnza day can easily run over there if they want before dinner! You can see Hallmark from Tumbleweeds, so very close! If you want more than 45 minutes at Webkinz Extravaganza, you can sneak out of the crop early!!

[scamptx]

And the menu's online in case you've never been and want to get a head start on finding your meal!

Thanks, Lori!

[javamama]

oh you all are too funny! The webkinz thing is wild! I can't decide if i am going barefoot or slippers at the crop...maybe both :) looking forward to meeting a bunch of you guys in person. Woot!

[KY Bumpkin]

Yes, the baby Back Ribs and Baked Sweet Potato are to die for! Very good! See if this link works for the menu: http://www.tumbleweedrestaurants.com/images/articles/1184182184166013.pdf
I don't see kiddie meals on there (unless I missed them) but I thought they had some.

Dawahares is also doing Webkinz Days I believe. I'm going to check both out Friday when it starts and see if one is any better than the other!

[Tina]

they must have a kids menu somewhere? I dont find it on the site either tho!

[Margie]

my crew's in for dinner too, yay! is it saturday yet??

[mommabyrd2003]

They have a kid menu. Pretty normal kid stuff - chicken strips, steak (I think), mac n' cheese, etc...

Neilston offered me his work laptop just in case I want to scrap. He is going to clear if off for me tomorrow, so I can load PSE. It mean lots backing up and reloading for him, so I'm truly grateful. Tomorrow is clean for the dogsitter and do laundry today, so we're ready to leave Friday right after Neilston gets home.

[KY Bumpkin]

How nice of him to loan you the laptop! Especially considering all the work!

[Elisabeth]

Okay, we're officially salivating over that menu! We might have to eat there Friday night too - ain't got one in Atlanta!

[scamptx]

Heads up--I may be printing my ATC's at the crop...grrr. Don't ask.

[dapupsmom]

lol...I know how you're feeling scamp. I'm gonna have to sneak onto my hubby's to get mine printed. We reloaded my computer, and can't find the driver's for my printer now. At least I have them created. Was afraid that wouldn't get done in time!
See everyone in KY!

[Tina]

Well, my hubby took over my laptop a while back, so even tho I will bring it, chances are he's deleted everything scrappy from it!

[kydeb]

I was trying to figure out what I was going to take (food-wise) and was wondering if anyone is bringing drinks. If not, I thought I'd get some coke & diet coke & sprite zero along with a cooler of ice and some cups. What do you guys think? Thanks!
Deb

[mommabyrd2003]

Sounds good to me Deb. I'm bringing some Diet Dr Pepper and anything else that is requested. I'm anxious to try out our new cooler to see if it will be all that it needs to be for football this summer when I'm taking drinks for 20-30 kids. I have a recipe I want to try for lemon cookies - everyone like lemon?

[kydeb]

I'll have drinks and ice and cups then! If people will post or pm me with their preferences, I'll try to accomodate everyone.

And I love lemon!! Actually I'm not a chocoholic - would prefer lemon!!

Can't wait!! Can't believe that it's the day after tomorrow!!! Woooo whoooo!!!!!!

[Tina]

sounds good gals. I'm bringing bags of chips and junk and cheeseball. Linda's bringing chocolate cake and Margie's bringing cookies. All her crew is bringing stuff as well, but I don't know what! :D

Back to the ATCs - do you all print on photo paper or cardstock?

[nanaw]

Lemon is great, and so is Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet pepsi, but I can bring my own for my mom and myself if need be. And again, anyone staying anywhere but the French Quarter?

[dapupsmom]

Tina, I'm gonna print mine on photo paper. Mainly cause that's what I have more of at the moment, plus the graphics tend to look better. At least on out printers they do.

[scamptx]

I have arrived in Maysville. Kentucky is beautiful! I can't believe how gorgeous everything is! You sure were smart planning this for this time of year. Even from the airplane I could see the purple and white patches mixed in with the green!

Tomorrow I heard there was a forecast for some showers...and Saturday too--but we'll be inside on Saturday.

I'm so excited to be here!!:yahoo: :yahoo:

[bendipez]

Scamp, glad you made it! I am so jealous! I was already to purchase tickets and then Shawn wound up in hospital. Grrrr! I will be there in spirit!

[Tina]

Ooh you're here already Scamp!! Look cross the river, Im just down the road a ways!

[missaboo]

I am still so very sad to not be leaving out of here tomorrow, but know that now it's for the best since I started having some health problems in the past few days. I will be thinking of you all and hope you will be able to pop on to show us some photos of your fun. :)

[scamptx]

Melissa--hope you get all better soon! Wish you were coming! And Brenda, hope Shawn is really on the mend this time!! Wish you were here too!

[kydeb]

sounds good gals. I'm bringing bags of chips and junk and cheeseball. Linda's bringing chocolate cake and Margie's bringing cookies. All her crew is bringing stuff as well, but I don't know what! :D

Back to the ATCs - do you all print on photo paper or cardstock?

I'm printing mine on photo paper too - mostly because that's what I have handy and it's the best quality.

[diturpin]

Lemon is great, and so is Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet pepsi, but I can bring my own for my mom and myself if need be. And again, anyone staying anywhere but the French Quarter?

I'm staying at the Hampton. Just finished my ATC's will be printing momentarily. I'll be bringing whatever junk I pick up along the way! Any requests???

Glad you had a safe trip, Scamp - looking forward to meeting everyone!

Missaboo, sorry to hear your having health problems...hope all gets righted soon!!

[dapupsmom]

ATC's are printed, now I just need to pack a change of clothes, and like Diane, pick up goodies along the way. Looks like Walmart isn't too far from the hotel, so I may just run there. Is anyone else coming in tomorrow night? Maybe we can get a dinner group together. Eager to meet everyone!!!!

[mommabyrd2003]

We're coming down tomorrow. Neilston isn't sure what time he is leaving work tomorrow. I think it needs to be real early since he has driven to Dayton two days in a row.

We did a picnic and long walk tonight, so I didn't get an early start on transferring stuff to Neilston's laptop which means I more than likely won't be bringing it. He offered to pack up my clunky desktop, but I don't think that's an option I'll go for either.

Baking the cookies and packing tomorrow while the kids are at school. Eban's dogsitters will be here right after the kids get home from school, so I will be ready to leave immediately when Neilston gets home. We're at the Hampton under Neilston Byrd. The Hampton's # is 606-759-0600.

[Elisabeth]

I printed on photo paper; we're staying at the French Quarter, will likely get there late afternoon or evening Friday, gonna call Lori to let her know we're there, diet anything drinks is great, and I'm bringing whatever Lori and I pick up at Kroger Sat am! She's having to be my taxi for the crop so my husband can take my daughter to see her half sister in Ohio.
I'm bringing a couple of my 8 x 8 printed albums; would love to see others as well but don't load yourself down with anything too bulky. Margie I'll help you unload the car when you get here with printer and gear!

Shirley I'm jealous you're there already! Melissa and Brenda, we'll sooo miss you!

[mommabyrd2003]

I printed my cards on business cards. I had them laying around taking up space from the olden days when I needed business cards. I've finally finished getting everything moved over to the external, so I tihnk I'm good to go on the laptop.

[diturpin]

ATC's are printed, now I just need to pack a change of clothes, and like Diane, pick up goodies along the way. Looks like Walmart isn't too far from the hotel, so I may just run there. Is anyone else coming in tomorrow night? Maybe we can get a dinner group together. Eager to meet everyone!!!!

If all goes well, I should be there in time for dinner tonight if anyone wants to get together. Are we on Easter Time or Central? I may have time change working against me.

[Tina]

We are eastern time here, Diane :) Sorry about that. lolol!

Ended up printing mine on photo paper too. Now I have to cut them all out. Was going to do it during TV time last night, but the shows were just too interesting! LOL!

[nanaw]

My ATCs and my mom's are still on the computer, grrrrrr! May have to print there. Plan on leaving around 1pm and it is around a 4 hr drive. First crop, didn't know we needed to bring anything so guess we will hit Wal Mart on the way. Will be there in time to hook up with anyone there. But, how will I know who you and where you are? And where is the majority of our group staying, eeekkkk, didnt make a reservation yet! Will check this thread prior to leaving. Whooo Whooo can't wait!

[scamptx]

Today have seen three trains and a barge. I am so loving this--can you tell when it comes to travel I'm like a little kid?! Train #4 is going by. Oh, and there goes another barge!

Got to get moving--need more coffee. Today I'm going to the museum and see what genealogy I can find!

I'll post a little later to see what's happening tonight if anything...I still have a layout deadline to meet. :doh: :doh:

[Tina]

LOLOL! crackin me up that you are excited by trains and barges! If you are into history, you can travel across to Ripley, Ohio. It's about 15 mins away maybe? Anyway, you can check out the Rankin House which was a stop on the Underground Railroad.

http://www.ripleyohio.net/rankin.htm

[flrebareba]

Well Im so excited to be here I woke up this morning and got ready to go. Got to the center and there is no one there... LOL Jokes on me it is not Saterday!!!! well I will enjoy the day and see you all tomarrow. Im bringing strawberries and angel food cake.
BTW I just caled you Scampotx LOL no awnser :)

[Tina]

scamp must be out exploring! At least you found your way to the center, Reba! Lori is supposed to be posting a map today. I think I know where I'm going tho! I'm sorta familiar w/ Maysville.

[nanaw]

ok, whew, got my reservation. At the French Quarter under Deb Steward. Hope to be there around 4ish. So anyone there look us up!

[Tina]

Cool Deb! Several are staying at French Quarter, I know Z is for sure!

[diturpin]

On the road! Well, as soon as I get off here and go get in the car!

I thought it was eastern time. That's OK! I'm actually leaving a little earlier that I thought I'd get to. Good news is I get home an hour earlier!

See ya! Soon!

[mommabyrd2003]

Getting ready to take the kids to school, so I can pack and more important bake the cookies. Neilston's best guess right now for leaving work is 3:30 which means we probably won't leave the house until 5 because for whatever reason it takes us about 1 - 1 1/2 hours to leave the house for a trip even when everything is done. It drives me crazy because I'm usually sitting in the van waiting for him and the dynamic duo. All that said we more than likely won't be there until 9ish when you figure in eating dinner which I'd like to do with some of you, however it'll be too late. See you all tomorrow morning!

[kydeb]

Got my ATCs printed and almost finished cutting them out. Can't believe the crop is tomorrow!!

Change of plan on the drinks - I ended up getting cans - Pepsi was on sale at WalMart so I got regular Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Diet Dr. Pepper, some Sprite Zero (coke product) and some bottled water. I hope that there is something in there that suits everyone.

See you guys soon!!
Deb

[Tina]

Sounds good Deb!

I have cheeseball & crackers, chips, bbq chips, doritos, pretzels, cookies, brownies, and... i think thats all?

[Tina]

Oh, I have tons of DSP CDs for give away too!!! :D

[diturpin]

I made it here!

[Tina]

woohooo Diane!

[KY Bumpkin]

YAY Diane!

I just talked to Z a few minutes ago and they are still a ways out at this point!

Here is a map if anyone needs it! If first link doesn't work, try the second, as each is only good for 7 downloads!

Center phone number is 606-759-5834 in case you can't read my writing on the printout!

http://download.yousendit.com/460E7DDD685D909B

[KY Bumpkin]

Woo hoo! Z is getting close! Just talked to her again while she gave me a verbal tour of where they were while I tried to figure it out so I could get them pointed in the right direction again! The brown barn, twisted tree, and red tractor she described didn't help me much :lol:

And she gave me a hard time becasue the grass wasn't blue! I assured her it was 'cause we hadn't had much rain yet :lol:

I cannot WAIT to meet her!

I'm getting so excited with people town already and others getting ready to leave soon! Woot woot :clap:

And it certainly sounds like we're going to have waaaaaay to much snacks, LOL! Hope no one is on a diet, 'cause it's gonna get blown :lol:

[Tina]

diet, yeah, me. am. good timing eh?

[KY Bumpkin]

Um, you can be back on it Sunday maybe?

[diturpin]

Diet?? Isn't that a four letter word on weekends anyway?

I made it past the barn, crooked tree but the tractor was green! I had forgotten just how many horse farms are around Lexington! Gorgeous country but the horse farms look like a lot of hard work keeping them looking as pretty as they do.

I didn't realize how much history was up around this area. My daughter will go nuts when she hears about all the underground railroad stuff. I'll probably have to bring her back sometime to see the sights. She has always been fascinated with the underground railroad. She did a book report on Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1st or 2nd grade and has been hooked ever since.

Been out tramping around already and found the community center, but thanks for the directions anyway. I've got a big bowl of kisses - the hershey's kind - and I'll bring what I don't eat tonight! LOL!

[KY Bumpkin]

Diane you can almost spit on this place from the Hampton...

http://www.washingtonky.com/stowe.html

[diturpin]

Ooooh, I saw the sign for Washington as I was driving in. I may get up early in the morning and rove over that way.

And while I might could spit that far, it would not be a pretty sight!

[KY Bumpkin]

Well I just checked, and the winds blowing the wrong direction anyway, LOL!

There's a lot of neat buildings to see in Washington http://www.washingtonky.com/

[kydeb]

Sounds like, not only are we NOT going to starve LOL but we've going to have a blast!! Can't wait!! Wish I were there with you early birds!! I'm jelly!! And we really should ban that dirty 4-letter word (d-i-e-t) from the crop!! I'm already thinking about all that food!!!

[javamama]

Glad everyone is getting there safe and sound! You lucky dogs that are there right now start revving up the fun for tomorrow :) And those of you who can't make it we will be missing you. Hope you get to feeling better missa and brenda, hope shawn is okay. Sure sounds like we will be eating enough for an army of men, cuz I don't know what exactly a diet is... :) Anyway, just printing out my ATC's and packing up. We will be on the road at 7 tomorrow. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO !!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

[Tina]

yeah and we still have to save room for Tumbleweed!

[mommabyrd2003]

We're here finally. We left later than I wanted because Isabella and Kaylor's teacher had a project she had to have done, so I didn't get to pack and bake while the kids were at school. I forgot my ATCs, so I'm doing a new one and sending them to get printed.

I have some assorted sodas, baked chips, and lemon cookies. Off to do my card. See you in the morning.

[kydeb]

Re: the directions - past the barn, etc. I actually went to a party one time out in the country and the guy that had it wrote the directions like that ..... take a left at the cornfield next to the cowfield with the black and white cow, right at the old chevy sitting next to the trailer, etc. It was a hoot and actually was the easiest directions I ever followed!!

[KY Bumpkin]

Welcome mommabyrd! Please don't stress over the ATC's! We can always just throw your name into the jar on a slip of paper!!

LOL Deb! It crossed my mind to do directions like that, but I refained :D

[Elisabeth]

Woo hooooo! I'm here! Had dinner with Shirley, Cynthia, NanawDeb and her mom Cody, and we talked "shop"! We just walked down the street to a cafe; didn't get back in the car. Went and saw the "hole in the wall" Lori told me about. Sorry I didn't get here early enough to get together with her, but I was pretty grungy anyway; just ask the other ladies who are probably too polite to tell on me. I feel much better after getting clean!

So more chatter and the crop tomorrow; this is fun already!!!!

[KY Bumpkin]

Welcome Z!! Can't wait to meet you in the morning!

[Margie]

what a day for my laptop to spaz out! i think i downloaded too many ploppers tonight. :D but i did a system restore and all seems well. shew!
fresh baked cookies are right in there => and i'm packing up the printer over there <= and we should be headed out around 7ish to head down south! timmy girl's stopping at tim hortons (big shocker!) and getting our morning caffeine and we'll be on the road!
i think we'll be all set on food ladies. if you haven't gotten anything yet, uh don't!! :D

[KY Bumpkin]

Drive safe!!

[mommabyrd2003]

New card done. Off to bed. See you in the morning.

[Tina]

Mornin' all! I'll be heading out in about an hour or so! cant wait to meet ya (everyone one except Lori and Margie, who I can't wait to see again!)

[KY Bumpkin]

Well I'm glad you clarified that Tina 'fore my feelins got hurt, LOL!

[Tina]

[Elisabeth]

Just wanted to say that I had a great time. It was wonderful meeting all you guys in person!! Already looking forward to the 2nd Annual Maysville Crop!!
Deb

[dapupsmom]

Just got home from the crop. It was so wonderful to meet everyone. I felt that I already knew most of everyone, and that it was a family reunion. Have already told my husband that I need to go back to Maysville with him, so hopefully they will have another next year and I'll bring dapupsdad with me!
{{{{Hugs}}}} to all the ladies!

ps: The 12x12 prints are totally awesome!!!!

[KY Bumpkin]

I just got home a few minutes ago and I LIVE here, LOL! That restaurant was slower than a month of Sundays!

I had an absolute blast today! So fun getting to meet all the folks I've only known on-line, and learning a few neat facts about them too! From goat stories to voodoo curses, we learned a lot about each other, LOL!

Eh, maybe we will make it an annual thing. And special thanks to the DSP folks for sponsering and providing all the freebies! That was super awesome! And hats off to Margie for bringing that awesome printer so we could see it! I know something on my wish list now, LOL!

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh and my kids couldn't remember not one name of their new friends they ate supper with, but said they had a total blast! Told me all about the jokes they were telling. Um yeah, we heard you all laughing hysterically, LOL!

[Tina]

Hey all! I'm home now too. I only live about 40 mins away, but slow restaurant and then we all stood and talked for outside Tumbleweed for a long time!

It was GREAT meeting y'all! I don't look forward to the layouts tho, cuz I HATE Having my pic taken! LOLOL!

[mommabyrd2003]

Much love to everyone. Those were some of the fastest hours of my life. Can't wait to meet again.

PS I'd love any/all pictures others took today because I know you all are way better photographers than me. Tina I really want the back shot of Kaylor & Z's daughter.

[Tina]

Much love to everyone. Those were some of the fastest hours of my life. Can't wait to meet again.

That is SO true! Time just flew!!!

I think maybe Lori and I can cook something again sometime! no promises when tho! LOL!

[KY Bumpkin]

I was thinking it might be nice if everyone who wanted to, zippied their photos and gave us a yousendit link so we could d/l each others pictures for sharing purposes! Just name your zip file with your screen name or something so we can tell later who's pictures are who's!

And I agree, this day just FLEW by!!!

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh, and someone update me on the Webkinz shopping, LOL! I didn't get to hear at dinner how that went!

[Tina]

Oh, and someone update me on the Webkinz shopping, LOL! I didn't get to hear at dinner how that went!

Z cleaned out the store. They had to close up shop after she left.

[Elisabeth]

Oh I LOVED Linda at the WK store!!!! She learned they were giving free ones for a purchase and said, "GET OUT OF HERE!" The employee did offer to clock out; she'd been there dealing with grown WK fans all day!!!

I wanted to box you all up and take you home with me; it was so fun! And all the kids are just darling! I can't wait to scrap some of those; will definitely share any and all photos I have!

We bought three webkinz and got three free. I got a googles, frog, and chocolate lab. My girl got a cocker spaniel, leopard, and cow. I got some trading cards but had such an exciting day I am so sleepy at the hotel and only got one pet logged in for her - the cocker pup who she named Ginger.

Hugs and love to all who were there and to those who missed it we wish you hadn't!

[Elisabeth]

NO, they didn't have to close up the store Tina - they had merchandise *other* than webkinz there!!!!

[Tina]

NO, they didn't have to close up the store Tina - they had merchandise *other* than webkinz there!!!!

Oh! Yeah, i forgot!

I got a free one, but didn't buy any! I bought cool 6x6 frames for mothers day :D The freeb i picked was the lion, and Tate named him Aslan.

I love the name Ginger, thats so cute!

[KY Bumpkin]

OH I'm SOOOOOOO glad you and little bit got some Webbies! I was actually a little upset that you might miss the extravaganza! So glad they still had some freebies there! And LOL at Linda!

[kydeb]

I used some photos from today's to scrap my Gimme More Challenge layout (there's that word again!!). The link is here:

Sorry Tina, I know you said that you hate to see the photos of yourself but you photograph so well and you're beautiful --- just had to put that photo in the center!!

The crop was such fun - I just can't thank you guys enough!!

Whooo, I had soooo much fun! Glad to finally meet everyone face to face. Would love pictures anyone has from "real" cameras. LOL! Did get a couple with my phone but not many. Thanks to all who helped make this fun, and a special thanks to everyone there for making "Cody" feel like part of the gang. She had a great time and is now more than ever excited about learning digital scrapping. Another note, I can't say enough about how beautiful it was there. We are already planning another trip. Loved the location, the food, the hotel (fantastic) and the company!

[Tina]

Cody was such fun! I'm glad she came along and hope she decides to dabble in digi more :)

[dapupsmom]

I loved listening to Cody's stories! She is such a wealth of fun and she had me cracking up! I'm really looking forward to getting together with you again soon. I'm with you about sharing photos. My little camera is nothing compared to the professional cameras we saw at the crop. Would love to grab some from other attendees if possible.
I just noticed Tina's ticker! gonna have to update it with a date for the 2nd annual KY-OH crop!
You ladies are great, and I'm so glad that I got to meet you!

ps...we've added a new laptop to our budget for the year! Yahoooooo!

[scamptx]

I'm sooo glad I made the trip and got to meet everyone! I will definitely have this one on my list of travel for next year!

[diturpin]

Good afternoon! Sorry I didn't post last night, but after I got home and checked on things for church today, finished up some last minute powerpoint stuff, got up bright and early.....ok....I just got around to sitting down at the computer and doing stuff for me. Made it home in 4 hours, 15 min....and note Margie, no tickets! Had a great time and will definately do it again. Next time will bring fam and stay for dinner for sure! Can't say how much it meant to meet everyone in person! I'll post the group photo for all to see. Be back with a link in a minute. I'll zip them up later tonight with a link for everyone. I've got to take DD to Walmart before she drives me nuts.

[diturpin]

Here's the link to the photo in my gallery. Tri-State Crop (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=257152&ppuser=37627)

Tina is going to post a link where you can download the photo.

[KY Bumpkin]

Yes Cody was sure a lot of fun, and she appears no worse the wear for the voodoo curse, LOL! Can't wait to see the group photos!!

I'll zippy mine in a bit. Well all but the kids at dinner. I'll send them separately to the kids owners ;) Not sure everyone wants those shared, LOL! Crop pictures only in my zippie!

[Linda Rechtin]

Oh dear...I SO wish I could have met more of you guys! I had car trouble, then got super lucky and had a wonderfully sweet friend of mine give me a ride to Maysville. LOL, BUT...we got lost, and by the time we finally got ahold of Tina, the crop was over. So we met up at the Webkins thing-a-ma-jig (now keep in mind I had NO intentions of getting caught up in THAT whole sort of thing) but, LOL Free is...well...FREE and yes I did say to the cashier GET OUTTA HERE when she said we could choose a free one, LOL. And yes, she did indeed tell me that if I say so, her day is just about over anyway, LOL.
Anyways, with a free Lion from Su-Zu (thats what Sydney calls Susan) and a free Cow from my own purchase, well this morning and today all Syd says is We-kins...LOL! We named the cow, MissyMooMoo and the lion, SiggyRoy (because he looks like the Sigfried and Roy lions at the zoo :) Very cool all this shopping for stuff at the site. Siggy already has half his room decorated, and really cool threads on, hahaha.
Then me and my friend Susan (I always tell her she reminds me of Jenny McCarthy, don't you agree Scamp, Tina and Z?) got to have dinner with some of you and it was a blast.
Hey, I don't care what anyone says...if you can get a wedge of lettuce instead of a dinner salad, GO for it! Photos to come later for those of you wondering what in the world is she talking about.
Oh drat it all, I so hate I missed the crop. Looks like it was a fabulous time from the looks of the photos I have seen already, but am SO glad I got to at least be in on the Webkins and Dinner.

...and hey! Possibly working on a crop for the fall a bit closer to Cincinnati....the Ky. side of Cincinnati that is...will post more details later.

[KY Bumpkin]

Linda I am sure sorry we missed you at the crop too! After the car trouble I'd have just hung it up for the day, so you're a trooper, LOL! Long way to come for Webkins, LOL!

Glad to meet you for just a few minutes at dinner though! If I hadn't had the kids I could have stayed later, but they were D-O-N-E with the idea of sitting nicely, LOL!

[kydeb]

Sorry I missed meeting you, Linda! Another crop? Wooo whoooo!!! Count me in! This one was such fun - can't wait until the next one!!

[mommabyrd2003]

Lori -

It's okay with me if you want to zip up all your photos in one file. I'm more concerned about not so flattering pictures of me than kid pictures. It was wonderful to see they them all together talking and playing. It was a real life montage.

[Tina]

Lori -

I'm more concerned about not so flattering pictures of me than kid pictures. .

lolol, you n me both, sister!

[diturpin]

Linda, I'm glad you made it there finally but sorry you had so much trouble. Hopefully, next time around I'll get to meet you.

Fall....Cinci...another 4 hour road trip sounds good to me!

[KY Bumpkin]

OK, here's my crop photos! Warning, the file size is HUGE!
