No coffee (amazing that Minda and I are friends when I don't do coffee). I do tea but don't crave it. I'll be on Diet Coke all weekend.

I'm not a big chocolate person. I prefer fruity types of snacks. Having said that...I prefer dark chocolate and I love chocolate best when it's mixed with caramel and/or peanuts. Also... I do struggle with my weight and will try to avoid candy as much as possible on the weekend.

My top five companies are BasicGrey, Cosmo Cricket, Crate, Scenic Route and Foo Fa La. More of a distressed, mild kind of girl vs. the BamPop style. I wouldn't know what to do with that stuff. Although I have had some success with Tinkering Ink...just not natural for me. I know it's very mainstream, but BasicGrey is my total #1 tops line.

What haven't I bought myself? Wow. Hard to answer that question because, well frankly, if I want something I buy it. (Bad, Bad, I know). I have a Silhouette, QuicKutz and Sizzix. I have a crop-o-dile and a Fastenator. I have a heat gun and light table (small). I have a P3 crop in style. I use my tweezers the most of any tool. I love my foam stamps and paint. I have bought fewer disposable supplies and more tools lately. I do love the Tim Holz metal cases for distress inks and don't have those. Mostly what I wish could I buy is time, which is exactly what I'm buying with this weekend!!

And my shoe size is 9.5...although I believe that questions was asked tongue in cheek.

And sometimes I talk too much. Just do the chopping sign across your neck and I'll get the hint it's time to shut up.

Oh.. My favorite restaurant is a good home cooked meal (by someone else). If I do go out, I love the little local restaurant called "The Malt Shop" because my husband can get a hamburger with fries, I can get a quiche with fruit, and the kids can get pizza. And we all can have Ice Cream.

Maybe I should have said that my favorite flavor of chocolate was ice cream.

Katie said...

Coffee, coffee, coffee with cream and sugar.

Any chocolate will do....but I prefer dark...especially with red wine.

Oh, by the way, I like wine and margaritas and Mike's Hard drinks. :) I will for sure be bringing some of this stuff...and a nice dessert wine or two.

Anyone interested in doing a mini class on making photo necklace, bracelet, or pendant? I would love to put together kits for everyone to make one...all you have to do is bring the tiny photo(s) to put in them. Sometimes just an index print will do. I could give the exact dimensions, or if you want to email me the photo(s) I can size it for you and bring a print. Whatcha think girls?

Favorite restaurant....hmmm, right now it is a little place in Madison called Sardine. But I like anything as long as it is not just fried stuff. Asian, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Seafood you name it, it's all good.

On thing I want to buy for myself is a scrapbook room like Shannon's.....haha, that'll never happen. Um, otherwise I buy too much already...but I have had my eye on that new AMM craft tote that comes with a swivel stand...the one for pens, cutter, adhesives, etc...I already have one of the old model and can't justify the new one...that spins! That would be cool.

Katie said...

Oh dang I missed the SB Company question. I am also a BG addict. I am really into Daisy D's right now, I adore Bam Bop, Scenic Route, and I almost always have something Heidi Swapp on my pages. :)

itsjustshannon said...

do you do coffee or tea?
Neither....McD's Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi

do you do milk or dark chocolate or both?
Milk Chocalate all the way....

who is your favorite scrapbook company? All the ones Tally carries! ;)

Are you interested in teaching a mini class or doing a make and take for everyone with everyone while we are there?
I could but I don't think it would be anything anyone would want to do. So guess I just woudl rather sit back and enjoy.

what is your favorite restaraunt?
No particular fav....not a weird food eater (as in Sushi, health foods :), seafood) Picky gal here.

what is one thing you've always wanted to buy yourself but haven't, scrap related of course.
Ok is it really bad to say....I have pretty haven't deprived myself. I buy what I want. There isn't anything scrap related that I feel like I am missing or that I can't borrow from Julie/Katie/Nicole! :)

MegsMama said...

Wow...I love these little insights into the group!

1. Venti non-fat Latte from Starbucks please. Or black coffee with a touch of milk. Dt. Coke is third, closely followed by Ice Tea.
2. Dark Chocolate on its own. Milk chocolate if its with nuts or caramel. P.S. I could probably convince DH to make a pan or two of scotcheroos for us.
3. Umm...Scenic Route, Basic Grey, Heidi Swapp, Daisy D's. All awesome.
4. Sure I would! Teach, bring, whatever. Sign me up. Love Katie's idea of the jewelry...so cool.
5. Don't know that I have a favorite but I like steak, sushi, seafood, pastas....pretty much anything. And I'm a midwest girl so I like to pack it in. I'll probably gain 10 pounds that weekend and will have to go back to Weight Watchers come March.
6. Laptop and portable printer. I say this only because I'm getting a scraproom this winter and that will fulfill my utmost fantasy about scrapping.

Ok, really excited to go to WI now.

Well, let's see I would say coffee, but I am kinda high-maintenance and need some kind of flavored coffee...or maybe just some Kahlua in it. :) I am also a Diet Dew type of girl. When it comes to other drinks, I am into Mike's Hard Cranberry, Malibu, Margarita's. :) Definately planning on bringing some of the above, especially since Minda said she would have to be liquored up to do Dance Revolution.

I prefer milk chocolate, but I'm not super picky about this.

My top 5 scrap companies would have to be Making Memories, Scenic Route, Heidi Swapp, American Crafts and Autumn Leaves.

I don't know if I really have a favorite restaurant..I like Mexican, Italian...pretty basic in my choices I guess. Oh, and if it is in a wrap...then I am there. I do really like the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, the girls and I stop before or after dance classes.

Gosh, what I haven't bought yet??? I guess it would have to be a "good" trimmer, I still have my old gray Fiskars. Mostly because I am not sure what would be the best upgrade and because I would rather spend my scrappin $'s on the fun stuff.

Not sure if you really need shoe size, but mine is 8.

Hope this wasn't too much information.

Nicole said...

I do coffee and tea, hot or cold, black with a touch of non-sugar. Not a huge alcohol gal, but I do enjoy wines and margaritas on occasion.

any kind of chocolate works

favorite scrap stuff... hmmm... I have gotten addicted to Luxe stuff and to Dream Street because of Tally, but I really love anything from MME, something about double sided paper makes me happy. And Crate would follow a very close second.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Katie's idea for a jewlry class, sign me up!!! And if there aren't any other card makers that volunteer I could do a fun card make/take for everyone.

No fav restaraunts for me, Although I do have to say that I won't be one joining in on a sushi run, just can't do it. Other than that I will pretty much try anything and I do like to try new things. Right now I have my eye on testing out the new Fudue place in Madison, but it's a little pricey.

Does the 50mm lens for my camera count as scrap related??? I would say that's the only thing that I am coveting that has not yet been bought.

Minda said...

Um, I guess its no secret that I do BLACK coffee, no flavors or anything, just dark, thick black.

Chocolate I like any kind in small quantities.

Scrapbook companies I love...Rusty Pickle, Crate, Jenny Bowlin.

I'm terrible. I buy myself pretty much everything I love, but I'm a little low on bling right now. I've been using it up big time and my supply is DANGEROUSLY low!

Fave restaurant? Something Thai or Indian. I actually prefer homecooked to restaurant now, which is something I thought I'd never say!

Seriously on the shoe size? 9, yep, big bad numero nine-o

Minda said...

Oh and teaching...no, unless you count showing anyone who wants to know how to use my cricut. I'm not a teacher, and I'm pretty quiet at crops...until you booze me up. Then its chandelier swinging time!

Lisa said...

Coffee? Tea? Yes and yes (and hot chocolate)

Chocolate? yes and yes. I prefer dark.

And I'll bring a couple bottles of wine too... (Might pick it up along the way, it's cheaper in Wisconsin!)

Picking a favorite company is like picking a favorite child. They're all dear to me. But I have to say I'm right in line with what Nancy said.

I like good German, Italian and Japanese restaurants. I'm all about the Axis countries. But I'm not picky!

At this point I still want the Basic Grey file set. I might put it on my Christmas wish list though.

Shoe size is 8.5!

Mrs Pretzel said...

Coffee with CREAMER (Cin. Van. by carnation if we are getting picky)

Both milk and dark choc. but milk choc is a little bit MORE favorite.

I think I'd have to say We R Memory Makers... They have the Bohemia line right now, right?

I guess I could do a class... Maybe DOM?

I like anything BBQ or Italian...

I'd really like to find some Sizzix Flower Die Cuts... the old school ones. I have an old machine that was given to me. It's pre those thin mint die they sell now.

I usually fit 9's pretty well.

I love me a Marguarita or Mikes. Or beer. Light Beer.

I'd love to take Katie's class!

Mrs Pretzel said...

On the class thing? I think I'd rather do a make and take, but only if I HAVE to! lol

Cicada said...

Black coffee, strong tea, and sugar free red bull. Caffeine is my friend.

Dark, dark, dark as night chocolate.

Love all the companies TS carries, although I can't use stuff aimed at boys cuz I have 2 girlies!

I'm not much of a make & taker or a teacher, but I'd love to learn some jewelry stuff from katie!

Like Minda, I love thai and indian (no restaurants of either kind in WI Dells area though), and I also love sushi. Not a meat & potatoes girl, I like the exotic stuff :) However, I'm not picky and will really eat anything. I'll be snacking my way through the weekend.

Um, I pretty much buy what I want, although I can't afford things like camera lenses and die cut machines and cartridges. Maybe stamps-- I buy them, but very sparingly.

Shoes: size 9

Add me to the list of those bringing wine :)

niColeGadE said...

I like coffee and tea. Coffee ranks higher in the a.m. Diet Mountain Dew is my caffiene of choice.

ALL chocolate is good. So is popcorn...

Scenic Route Paper Co. and Heidi Swapp tie for 1st. Also love October Afternoon, Artic Frog, My Mind's Eye... I could go on and on...

I am thinking about an image transfer class...like putting gel medium on a photo and "transferring" it to a page or altered item.

I love Mexican restaurants, but I will eat anything. I am definitely not picky!

I have always wanted some sort of die-cutting system, but I have never wanted to invest the money.

MANDY said...

do you do coffee or tea?
Tea more than coffee, gotta have sugar!

do you do milk or dark chocolate or both? Milk Chocolate

who is your favorite scrapbook company? Love HS! My other favs include...Daisy D, Prima, MM

Are you interested in teaching a mini class or doing a make and take for everyone with everyone while we are there?
Tricia and I talked about maybe doing something.

what is your favorite restaurant?
Penara Bread- Broccoli Cheese soup- YUM

what is one thing you've always wanted to buy yourself but haven't, scrap related of course.
One of those really nice overhead lamps! You know the one I am talking about with the white light that simulates daylight! Or a subscription to the monthly Tally kit! Now that would be nice. Presents in the mail and no receipts! The DH should check on that for Christmas!
on a smaller scale- I Love Bling, Rub-ons, and flowers.

Vanessa B. said...

Coffee! But enjoy tea in the afternoon sometimes - especially if it's cold out.

I'm with Katie on this one - dark chocolate and red wine. Oh yeah.

Favorite SB company? Scenic Route, Basic Grey, Bazzill, KI, MM...I could go on.

I have been in a scrapping funk for so long I don't think I could teach a class but I'd be happy to help someone or contribute to supplies for a class. Hoping this weekend will help get my mojo back!

Favorite restaurant? I like almost anything (though not a huge sushi eater.) Italian, Mexican, Asian (especially Thai! Oh, yum, now I'm hungry!) I'm not too picky!

What haven't I bought for myself? A decent trimmer that actually cuts straight and photo printer are at the top of my list.
