I've got my flight booked!
It is not cheap flying into Wisonsin...so spoiled by Southwest! I am ready to get there and I arrive on Thursday around 2 I think. I'll post my itinerary once it's emailed to me. I believe Shirley and Rachel have their flights booked too! Woohoo..it's coming fast!
You know what I had visions of today? All of us at our scraptables and someone yells, "SWITCH", and everyone plays musical chairs for a moment and finishes the layout on the desk of whom they've landed..doesn't that sound like fun...we could even do it a few times to get all types of styles on one layout. I'm just throwing it out there but I would be game for that.
Just think..I could have Shannon, Tricia, HO, Minda, Katie, Julie, Nicole, Dawn, Nicole, Jen, Angela, Shirley, Nancy, Lisa...who else am I missing?? add something to my page. Yeah, that would earn the most tallypoints ever!

Hi TallyRally-ers! There's been some updates on our group-- we did have two cancellations, but Shirley decided to join us which was great news!!
For now, we are going to assume we will be able to fill the house and have 18 people total (right now I think we have 17). If we end up being short in the end, we will make up the difference at that time.
Because we are filling the house, we are getting the 18 person rate, which is $2,250. Divided by 18, that is $125 per person for 3 nights: Fri, Sat., and Sunday night ( a really good deal). With tax that comes to 131.87 per person.
Thursday night is different; we will be charged a house rate of $600 for Thursday night. Everyone who stays on Thursday will split the $600 among them. If all 18 of us stay Thursday night, it will be only $36 per person.
When we all pay Blooming Escapes our total, Christine, Amanda, & I will be refunded our deposits, which total $600. We are asking that everyone please pay the retreat directly as soon as possible--preferably by December 15 at the latest. I understand this might be rough with the holidays coming. But we really need to get this done for 2 reasons. First, so that we minimize the risk of last minute cancellations which will impact all of our payment totals. Second, so that those of us who paid a deposit can get that back (for myself, that was $350, which was fine but I could use that back for Christmas shopping!!)
So: checks should be made out to Blooming Escapes for $131.87, and everyone can send it individually. The address is 718 Forest View Dr. Verona, WI 53593. Please just make note with your check that you are with our group under Julie Miller's name. Since some people are undecided at this time about Thursday night, Kerry said that we could pay for Thursday night separately, whenever we get that figured out.
The money part is not easy :( , but in the end we are going to have an amazing time! Christine has some fabulous freebies and prizes in store for us all weekend. We'll be pampered and well fed...and we'll get TONS of scrapping done!
Let Christine or I know if you have questions....hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Julie (TSCicada)

we had a cancellation!
Tricia and I were rooming with our dear friend Vanessa. I got word from Vanessa that she will not be able to make it after all. So I spoke with Julie and we were thinking that we should have a "pay by date" For what if we show up and a few don't, then are we stuck with their bill? Or if they cancel a month before going giving us no time to find other roomates. Some of us are flying a long way so we also have to make arrangements financially and don't want to be stuck paying a lot more than we are anticipating. And that way maybe it will narrow down who is really going.
Does this all make sense? Julie can probably explain way better than me!

Gade Gel Medium
Okay, all that stuff I said about no classes, I take it back. I have had gel medium in my drawer for TWO years waiting to try it out. I would LOVE IT if NicGade would get me on that track with a little classy-poo!
