I hate being the first to respond - brings back those school days of being the first to finish a test and wondering if you answered the questions all wrong.....

Chocolate will be my candy of choice...not sure what exact flavor...I love them all!

[Tina]

yay Diane!

[scamptx]

Whoot! I've got my flight, I've got my room! I'm a definiteabsolutelyforsure attendee! As to junk food...hmmmm, we'll just have to wait and see! Can't wait!

[mommabyrd2003]

I'll be there. I have the hotel booked and the kids already know they're going on a short cation - translated staying at a hotel with a pool. Less guilt of leaving them and I get a driver. I'm saving my pennies to buy scamp lunch.

[Tina]

yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!!

[kydeb]

I'll be there!!

[Tina]

yay deb!

[bendipez]

I'm actually seriously considering coming!

[scamptx]

Really, Bendi?! You'll have me beat for distance if you do!! What fun!

[Tina]

WOW, Brenda! Really!!???

[bendipez]

So, if I actually do this where do i fly into? How do i get to the crop? And am I insane or what?

[Tina]

Brenda, we talk about flying in here:

http://digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29389&page=3

[Melissa]

I will be there, IF we can be sure that with either have my DM or my DSIL to watch the kids. We will travel out 5 hours and stay overnight and the leave right after the crop and probably make it home about 9 p.m. I sure wish my Chocolate Trifle would hold up for the trip!!!!!

[Tina]

I'm adding you to the list, Melissa! Let me know if you can't make it, but we hope you can can can!

[bendipez]

I'm actually looking at flights! Not as expensive as i thought! My birthday is april 27th so this might be my bday present. Where would be good to fly into?

[flrebareba]

Welll You know I'll Be there!!!! I"m there 1/2 the time anyway

[Tina]

Brenda, your options are Lexington, Ky, and Covington, Ky (Covington being the Great Cincinnati International Airport). Both are quite a drive from Maysville, and Lexington would be the cheapest route. (CVG is very $$$).

Someone, um... Kydeb?? Said she lives not too far from Lex. Might PM her and ask her about the area.


Gotcha Reba! :tup:

[Tina]

oh and Brenda, if you come, we'll totally chip in to buy you lunch! and Bday cake! :)

[flrebareba]

I'll chip in too. And our 1st wedding anniversary is the 28th but DH is going to be in Maysville that weekend so all is well.

[kydeb]

I live about 25 miles from the Lexington airport and would be happy to coordinate with anyone who flies in there. I also have room if you need a place to crash before/after flight - just pm me and we can coordinate.

[scamptx]

I'm flying into Lexington and renting a car. For anyone interested in exploring the area, I will be going to Old Washington, and possibly Flemingburg to do genealogy research. I did just learn that the development, Fernleaf, is indeed the old family farm where my great-great-great grandparents lived and were buried. Hopefully I'll have lots of material for scrapping on Saturday! Can't wait to meet everyone!

[Margie]

i'm there! and i'll have to beep javamama who i think is coming too!

[Margie]

i believe javamama and kim s are coming with me! kim's not registered, baby steps. :D and i have two more probablies! so maybe 5 of us, yay! :yahoo:

[KY Bumpkin]

Is there a crop in Maysville? Woot woot! Count me in! :lol:

[nanaw]

OK, I am planning on being there, with +1, or ummm +2!!! LOL, I know you need a head count but there are alot of "ifs" involved. I won't know more until closer to the event but at least wanted to get my name in.

[Tina]

Is there a crop in Maysville? Woot woot! Count me in! :lol:

you're a dork! good thing I loves ya!

[Tina]

Nana, we'll +2 ya. We'll go the Preacher Count route. lolol.

[Margie]

i'm at +3 right now i think! will hopefully be at +4 when i leave!

[KY Bumpkin]

you're a dork! good thing I loves ya!

Well ya know it IS an awfully long drive for me :)

[Tina]

yes, let's hope you don't get lost...

[Margie]

alrighty! i'm bringing javamama (on the list), samnlucysmom, kim (not sure if she has a username yet), and we're still pressuring timmy girl! :D

[dapupsmom]

Add me to the list. I don't have a laptop with a current graphic program, but I'll bring the old toshiba with psp6. How ancient!!!
Where is everyone planning to stay?

[mommabyrd2003]

We're staying at the Hampton Inn. Neilston and the kids will be enjoying the pool while I chat with all of you. I still haven't decided if I bringing a computer or not. I would have to have Neilston load PSE on his laptop along with all my other stuff. Knowing me I will probably do more chatting than anything else, so I'm still deciding if it worth the effort.

[dapupsmom]

My husband will be staying at home. We don't really feel like boarding the dogs, so he and the pups are having the house to themselves. Gonna check with a friend from Chicago and see if she wants to come down for a girls weekend. I didn't see a crop fee listed in the store. Is there someplace to register and pay the fee, or do we just register here?

[scamptx]

I'm staying at the French Quarter downtown.

I didn't own a laptop when I attended the first crop that I went to, and had a great time just visiting and seeing what everyone else was doing! However, that crop was what made me bump getting a laptop up on the priority list! I still don't get a lot done at a crop--consider it amazing if I complete one page!

I am so looking forward to this!

[flrebareba]

Scapmtx That is where George Clooney stayed last weekend. It was so much fun. I cant wait to see you all.

[dapupsmom]

I noticed that the Hampton Inn and French Quarter are the same price, so was torn about which to stay at. Would like to stay where most others will be staying. My plan is to come in on Friday afternoon/evening, and return home late Saturday. I'm getting really excited about this!!!! This is the perfect event, after one of the weirdest winters (as far as weather goes).

[scamptx]

I'm staying at the French Quarter for two reasons--the first is that I wanted to be downtown since I will be doing a little genealogy. The second is that when it's not a huge price difference, I like to stay at some place that's different from the places that I have to stay for business travel! I do understand, thought, that if you have family, then you really need to stay where there's a pool!!

Edit to add--do you think there's a chance I'd get George's room??? Naaah, he probably had a suite or something....!

[diturpin]

I'm staying at the Hampton Friday night. Gotta come home Saturday night for a big event at church Sunday! I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone! Can't wait to get there. I've got a laptop with PSE5 on it and I've been organzing stuff on my EHD but I'm sure I probably won't be scrapping half as much as I'll be chatting!

[Tina]

Be sure to bring your printed albums so we can all ooooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhh over them!

[dapupsmom]

Scamp, you can have George's room or suite. I'll just take George!!!!

[nanaw]

I will be there, not sure where I am staying but the French Quarter Sounds good. Have not even checked prices or anything!!! There might be someone else with me but not a definate on that yet and won't know until almost last minute. Can't wait to meet everyone in person!

[timmy girl]

Count me in! I'll be riding with Margie. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

[Margie]

yay!!! right now i have timmy girl, javamama, and kim s. casey's out because she has to run some race (wouldn't you rather sit and eat chocolate???!!!) and debi's out because she'll be on the beach with her husband and no kids (*jealous*). but joann, amie, and kim i guarantee will be a party!! :D

[Elisabeth]

I'm booked! We're staying at the French Quarter - it looks nice online and the price is very reasonable - $89/night.

[Margie]

another yay!!!! can't wait to meet you!!!

[Melissa]

I'm still hoping to be there! I have to make sure there is something for DH and the kids to do. Wish me luck!

[Tina]

What are you looking for, for them to do Melissa? And how far is he willing to drive to find something?

[Melissa]

What are you looking for, for them to do Melissa? And how far is he willing to drive to find something?

Well, Pat would probably like to go swimming, or to a park or something. Pat doesn't like loud noises and a lot of ruckus due to his sensory problems.

[Tina]

Well, Blue Licks isn't far from Maysville. It's about 30 mins maybe?
Here's info on it:

[Lauren]

I want to come - make sure you have some york patties and margaritas for me!!!

[Margie]

i'm not really sure those two things mix well, but i'll have plenty of york patties for you! :D

[flrebareba]

Lauren there are lots of GOOD margaritas in Maysville too. Not to sure what kind of patties you are talking about.. LOL Most of the motels have indoor swimming pools too.

[Tina]

York Peppermint Patties, Reba.

[dapupsmom]

Got my room booked at French Quarter. Hubby was even saying "wow, what a neat looking building!"
I'm really excited to meet everyone!

[KY Bumpkin]

Here's another neat place that's about 50 minutes away. It's apparently changed a lot since the last time I was there. We knew they were buying some land, but didn't know they were going to be putting hotels up there too. The website link no longer takes you to what used to be their website. If interested, I'd call the phone numbers to ask questions...

[KY Bumpkin]

Oh, and there's a nice park across the river with a play area for kids. Not real big, but fairly nice anyway, and that would only be about 15 minutes away, and you can see the river from there too and walk down to it from the boat launching ramp.

We like to go get ice cream at the Dairy Queen and then go to the park and eat it, LOL!

[flrebareba]

Aberdeen Oh. has a great park its across from the French quarters 5 minutes ..Both Maysville and Aberdeen have Great Library's too..

[mommabyrd2003]

Too bad the French Quarter doesn't have a pool. It looks way better than the Hampton especially the rooms overlooking the river which are only $5 more. 12 days and counting...

[diturpin]

Christina, I'm at the Hampton with you. Not that I need the pool! LOL!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

[scamptx]

:yikes: :yikes: Only twelve????!!!!

[Melissa]

Ok, so I haven't booked our room yet(:eek:), but I was wondering if anyone has gotten a really good rate at Hampton Inn. Right now, with tax, it's $99.06. I'm trying to pinch the pennies a little so we'll have more money for fun stuff. TIA!

[mommabyrd2003]

That's what our room is as well. I looked at the French Quarter today and it was just about the same. I feel you on pinching pennies.

[diturpin]

Melissa - don't ask me how, but I got a "Go for the Gold" rate which is $5 less. I found it online through the HHC Central reservations. I think I just looked for discounted rates on their website. But at any rate, (pun intended:p ) my total is $94.10.

[Melissa]

I think we are going to go ahead and book for Hampton Inn. We want to be as close to the Community Center as possible. I can't wait! Less than 2 weeks!!! :D :D :D

[Melissa]

Ok, I found the "Go for the Gold" rate. We are booked!!!! :D But we will not be staying for dinner that evening, as we have to head back for church the next day.

[Margie]

yay! but please don't expect me to call you anything besides missaboo! :lol: i have trouble with real names. :)

[Lauren]

LOL - thats why all the designers have to use their real names as usernames - otherwise Margie wouldnt know what to call us!!!!!

[flrebareba]

Wooo Hooo I leave for Maysville Wednesday at 12PM and cant wait. Maybe Scamptx and I can get together Thursday....Or any one coming early

[Elisabeth]

Woo hoooo! Less than a week! I'm glad to know there is a playground near the French Quarter; my child can play there if they get back from Ohio before we are through. Lauren are you bringing Hannah?

[Melissa]

Well, ladies, I really regret saying this, but-things aren't working out the way I wanted them to. So I won't be coming. I am so very sad about it, too. Not getting to meet you all. :( Unless something drastically changes, and I guess I can pray for a miracle. So sorry guys. :(

[KY Bumpkin]

Aw missaboo we'll miss you! Sorry things aren't working out the way you'd like them too :cry: I hope things change and you can still make it!

I hope you gals are ready to have some F U N !

Do you all have your ATC ready to go? I don't :no: OK, it's on my long list of things to do. I still have 5 days right?

[scamptx]

Well, dagnabbit, Melissa! Hope there's a sudden change and we get to see your face--I was really looking forward to meeting you! :( :(

And, no, Lori--my ATC is not ready. I keep getting this annoying little reminder everytime I open my outlook. I think I'm rebelling..:doh:

[Tina]

My ATC is ready, but not printed!

Melissa... boohoo! We'll miss you :( I hope things turn around and you surprise us!

[Margie]

mine's ready! need to print and cut though. only a few more days!
did i mention i'm bringing the epson r1900 so you can print 12x12 pages?? :D

[mommabyrd2003]

My ATC is ready and printed. I even put a picture on it. 5 days!

[Tina]

Im very excited about that, Margie, I've never printed a 12x12. Will have to design a page for a present... or um.. for me!

[kydeb]

I posted on the other thread but I thought I'd ask here too. What is the final decision on the sizes of the ATC. I made mine a while back in accordance with the ATC guidelines so they are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. Did we decide to do them smaller (business card size)? Thanks!!

[Margie]

2.5x3.5 is great!
tina?? never?? i've printed literally hundreds of your pages for shows!! :D

[kydeb]

Thanks, Margie!! I'll get to printin'!!

[Tina]

never Margie! I've never even seen a 12x12 page IRL!

[KY Bumpkin]

I've never seen one either! Very cool! And can you buy 12x12 paper, or do you have to use some other size and cut?

[Tina]

I think its like 12x18 or somethin, Lori

[Margie]

oh you girls have GOT to get out of the cornfields. :D i'll bring plenty of my 12x12 epson paper. :) and of course tate will probably show up in my samples i'm bringing.

[Margie]

[mommabyrd2003]

I thought at one point the count was 25, so I printed 3 sheets of 10. Mine are pretty basic, so I can always use them to give parents at school to exchange e-mail addresses.

[scamptx]

First crop in Las Vegas--no laptop, not prepared to print. :cool: Second crop in Las Vegas--remembered to have some full resolution layouts on laptop to print. Was busy gabbing, learning, playing and forgot! :doh: Third time's the charm? :tup:

[KY Bumpkin]

oh you girls have GOT to get out of the cornfields. :D


Well just so long as I don't have to put shoes on I guess I can come out for a bit :D

[flrebareba]

Way to cool Margie I also Have never printed out a 12 x 12..
Also Why is missaboo not going to make it ???
I also will not have shoes on so You will not feel out of place. :)

[Tina]

i don't like shoes- but crocs are ok, they are like shoe substitutes.

[mommabyrd2003]

We have to wear shoes?

[Margie]

oh no! i figure when in rome... so when in ky, no shoes necessary!!! :lol:

[timmy girl]

Oh, I can't tell you how relieved I am! I was really fretting over whether or not to bring my slippers. (they tend to come with me whereever I go) If you guys are going shoeless, I can certainly go slipperish!! That's a relief!!

[Tina]

oh slippers, thats a great idea!

[flrebareba]

Well this is to funny I thought it was today. Here I am there is no one here. Sure glad Im on the stick. See you alll tomarrow..:clap: :tup: :yahoo: :lol: :yahoo:

[Tina]

[KY Bumpkin]

OMG Reba! Were the guys from Carmeuse (who are currently using the building) nice enough to set you straight :lol:

[kyshine3]

do y'all get together once a year at different locations or will it be in Maysville again?

I signed up last year but never really had time or a good enough machine
I'm getting a new laptop in couple of weeks and I"ll be ready to go
However this is all new to me so I'll be taking baby steps :-)

[Tina]

We will probably do this again! Lori?

[KY Bumpkin]

I hear there's a bunch that want to do it again, so it's a distinct possibility!
