Anyone have a good countdown list?

I just got back from a trip to Boston, so I am now ready to prepare for our crop weekend.
Does anyone have a nice checklist or countdown list that would be willing to do a daily prompt or other such thing to help us pack? I could use with doing a little bit each day versus trying to pile it all up the night before.

Got Little Photos?

I think I am finally set! I have managed to acquire a nice collection of photo pendant frames for an informal little mini class at our fabulous retreat. Lots and lots of options for you to play with! All my treat for my fabulous Tally Sisters!

I will have everything we need on hand if you want to make yourself a necklace. All you need is a little tiny photo! I will be happy to do the resizing for you if you email me your favorite high res photo(s). I can quickly resize them for a variety of the pendant sizes and then you can pick your favorite(s) at the retreat. One thing that is critical if you choose to make your own print is that you NOT use an inkjet print, the ink will bleed. Matte photo finish works best but glossy is totally acceptable. Index prints work great for many of the pendant sizes too.


So pick a favorite family photo, close ups of the kids, pets, grandkids, or even just a photo of a beautiful flower, whatever you want and I will show you how to make a fun little keepsake to wear or give as a gift. :) It is so easy and so much fun.

I am so excited to see everyone...this is gonna be such a great weekend! Email me with any questions and your photos asap! (I'll put out a quick group email for the address). Here's a tiny example of what you can make...that's Angie's little munchkin!

i'll just leave it in the bathroom closest to my room, wait, it's buy one get one free-SCORE!

Circle Journal Question????

Ok because I have never done these....I have questions. For those that are doing freestyle - I should be concerned about the backside since it won't be in an album per say right? So if I do a page...I really need to do two? Or if I do 2 pages...I really need to do four? Or am I just over thinking this?

For you flying in ladies....we are scheduled for 8-14 inches of snow tonight. Record snowfall winter.....almost 60 inches so far and counting.

Two Rooms; my thoughts

I don't know if anyone is planning on setting up the seating for the two crop rooms, but Lisa and I have a request if you do: We think it will be best if we sit in different crop rooms, so we are more likely to get to know new people. Probably the same is true for Nancy, Nancy and I have cropped together MANY times on weekends like this and so maybe she'd enjoy getting to know Lisa more and being in her room.

Just a thought, we want to make sure we get to know you all and when we are together we tend to do the comfortable inside joke thingy which isn't conducive to meeting new folks!

So your thoughts?

Super Slacker

Finally I finished my Circle Journal Into page! After bringing home the gnarliest flu ever from vacation I have been on a major catch up spree! But I did it! Here is the link. I hope you will all still have time to squeeze this one in! :)

Sooooooooooooooo excited to see everyone!!

ANYONE!?

Anyone anywhere NEAR Napannee, IN?

We have had an unfortunate cancel... TallyWhacker can't COME!!! BUT latte_grande might be coming in her place, and she is THINKING of driving. Thing is, even though it's only about a 5 hour drive, her hubby would like her to NOT drive it alone. SO anyone near her? THIS is the map quest route. If you are near her, an any direction, and wouldn't mind a carpool, LET HER KNOW!!!
