We are getting SO CLOSE NOW!

Are you packed yet?  Maybe I should just ask... ARE YOU READY!

I am going to an all day crop tomorrow.  I really can't believe I am doing that... less than a week before the retreat.  Do you know what that means?  That means I have some AWESOME people helping me get ready.

Here is my SHOUT-OUT to my awesome friends and helpers..

Vickie Alcorn
Lavon McGinnis
Beth Bruner
Suzy Bruner
Michelle Leigh
Becky Pearce
Lyla Crawford
Deb Cunningham (and she's not even attending the retreat!)
and if I've missed someone... I'm SO SORRY!

Well, I've done about all I can do today (which included finishing up embellishing a prom dress for a friend's daughter... yes, I am now certified crazy!).

But wait.  I think we need one last  
EXTRA DRAWING TICKET OPPORTUNITY!

You are going to have to work fast.  Any email or blog entry after Monday night will not be  counted!  We HAVE to have time to calculate this crazy amount of tickets that have been given away over the past 4 weeks!   

Have you had fun earning tickets?
Have you had fun with the blog?

Simply email me and answer both of those questions and you will earn
5 MORE TICKETS!

Leave a Blog message under this post, with the answers, and earn  
5 MORE TICKETS! 

And that will be the END of tickets before the retreat!  But don't despair... you will be able to win MORE at the RETREAT!!!

BRING ON THE TICKETS!!!

I truly can't wait to see you ALL!!!

If you have any questions, do NOT hesitate to send me an email or give me a call... I LOVE questions and comments!
So... off to finish packing for the Crop tomorrow, which will benefit the Children's Miracle Network, what an awesome cause! 

Just another reminder... get on the blog and earn those tickets on there as it will shut down (for ticket earning) Monday night! 

Happy packing!

  9. Ok maybe I can get a post in finally.
    I like the blog but I guess because I am not a regular user of the blog I forget from one time to the next what to do. That is from going to sleep. ha and getting old.
    I love the email because that is what I am more accustomed to. Can't wait to meet everyone and get some great ideas.

  17. Okay, I have to agree completely with Alexa about the blog. I enjoy the email too, but there's anticipation with the blog. More interaction, and I can log on whenever I have time.
    Janis, you're absolutely awesome and we love you! The ladies helping you set up on Wednesday and helping with all this prep are fabulous!! You all pull it off and make these events so special. Thank you!!

    I'm not finished packing supplies yet, haven't started on clothes at all, but be assured, I HAVE A LIST!!!

  19. I have had fun earning tickets and keeping up with the blog. I have no idea what is up for grabs with these tickets but from everything I have heard "I want ticket. I need tickets, or I'll regret not having tickets" I am so looking forward to this! I may be a probie at Janis' retreat, but I'm all for FUN, and scrapbooking!!!

  22. Tickets and the games with them at the retreat are fun and yes I do enjoy it.
    The blog is even more enjoyable reading everyone's post and iteracting prior to the retreat!
    For any first timers, especially if new to blogging....once you are at the retreat you will see that it is all worth it!
    THanks to all the exceptional ladies helping you put this together.

  23. I always love the blog you have for the retreats. It kind of extends the retreat and we all get to know each other before the retreat

    Thanks,

  25. I'm sorry some of you have had problems with the blog. I wish there was some way I could help you all out. I think it's a wonderful way to get to know each other ahead of the retreat and just build the fun early! Maybe I should have a BLOG class at the retreat!!
