Hi, Everyone! Oh, My! I cannot believe we are now within 60 DAYS of the retreat!! WOOHOO!! I'm getting excited... are any of you? (NOTE...This is a CLUE! Leave a comment and tell me... and 60 of your closest scrapbook retreat friends... just how excited you are... leaving a comment will earn you ONE Extra Drawing Ticket!)
Some of you know me and some of you don't. One thing you NEED to know about me is our BLOG is where things happen... in fact... THIS email message is already out there! And, this is the VERY FIRST OPPORTUNITY to win an EXTRA DRAWING TICKET!!! ALL you have to do is go to the blog... enter a comment and THAT's IT!!!
Now, I realize, some of you are BLOG CHALLENGED! And that's okay! If you can't figure it out (and please promise me you will TRY!), you can email your "message" back to me and I will put the comment on the blog for you. This is VERY important to me. I am just bribing you with a ticket, but I really, really, really need for you to try to comment here. If you try and it just doesn't work, please email me and tell me what you tried to do and what it told you.
You see, the blog is where our ***PRE-RETREAT CONTESTS*** will be held and you are going to want to know that because this is how you earn EXTRA DRAWING TICKETS! AND, it's where I pass along information. It's way easier for me to do and it's a great one-stop-shop for you to find EVERYTHING in this one place!
One more thing... Beth and Suzy Bruner are going to host our swaps this year! They have some AWESOME ideas and I'm just turning it over to them. They've got lots of experience AND patience! So, be watching your emails as you will be hearing from them soon, I'm sure!
So, go ahead... COMMENT!
YES, I'M SO EXCITED... I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT... the retreat is getting closer and Spring is just around the corner too!!! Bring on the Contest. I think I should get an extra ticket here for being the first to comment... don't you agreee!
ReplyDeleteThe swaps sound intereting too, can't wait to see what they are.

I am so excited, I attended my first retreat this last fall and decided then that I had to go to the next. Love the tee shirt you are considering, wore my red shirt last week for the first time since the last retrest. I'm thinking that if I go to enough of these retrests I could have a tee shirt quilt made, so keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteNoticed that I didn't make all the spelling corrections or put my name on my comment. It's the one about the tee shirt quilt. Doesn't the quilt sound like a good idea. Lennette D.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! It will be so much fun to relax and enjoy it instead of working it! WOOHOO!
ReplyDeleteI miss you Janis! I look forward to seeing you again!

I love your help for us to leave comments on the blog! I never knew how to do it. Sooo looking forward to the retreat. Ruth
ReplyDeleteLOL! Beth & Suzy...I thought I read "SWAB" not "SWAP" I know what SWAP was, but knowing Beth and Suzy one never knows if they are up to something .
ReplyDeleteI am so excited- time away to get so much done and spend a great time with friends- girl weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I could totally make something up with what a SWAB is, but I think I'll pass on that for now. (*grin*) Hope you sign up for one of the embellishment swaps, you'll like 'em.
