SDV August 21-24 2008 WE'RE HOME!!!

[Kim1964]

I guess I'm going to have to have a talk with DH to see if he's OK with me taking a couple hours off from the family Saturday morning. We haven't actually discussed it yet.

AWM and I are both staying at WL so if I get DH to OK this, it will be no problem to give her a ride.

Cool. The ride with Kim would be fun.
I can always walk from Epcot if her DH doesn't let her go away from the family. I'm sure I can handle the little bitty hike.

He better be willing to take them.....I can't possibly know that I am THIS CLOSE to meeting you guys and have him stand in my way . I am taking the kids by myself for 5 days before he gets there, so I think I will have earned a little "me time" by then.

If we wanted breakfast earlier than 9 at the beach club I could go pick anyone up on property. I will be at the Yacht Club but I know property pretty well since we always drive.

Did everyone that is registered for the SDV get the e-mail from them today? I was reading through it and came across the picture from the Orlando event last year. I have never been to anything more than small crops so was a bit in awe when I saw that picture and all those scrappers. I am anxiously waiting to see what classes will be offered. How soon before the event do they usually release the list of classes?

I saw that and meant to post it. I was there!!! I think they had room for 800 people. See the ladies in the bottom right hand corner? I told ya'll they bring tons of stuff!!! I was somewhere in the center of the left side.

We need to make big lime green mickeys for our tables. So we can find them and each other! LOL

I'm not sure about the classes, I never timed it.

 

[Diana Lyn]

I don't remember when the classes are posted. I just looked on their website and the March convention has the classes listed, but the April and May do not, so it will probably close to August.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

think it might have been after the final payment was due??

 

[scrappy910]

I HOPE to be organized and have my pages laid out that I want to complete. That way I won't have to bring my entire room of stuff. I'm sure my tablemates will appreciate that!

Hi everyone!! I finally made it here!! I'm one of Diana (& Carol's) roomies, and I can't wait. I've done CKU several times, and local crops, but no SDVs. I'll have to get myself organized to be able to actually accomplish some stuff.

And, I'm in for breakfast on Saturday, as long as my roomies are too.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Hi Amy and welcome to our crazy group!

I am hoping to finalize breakfast numbers so I can call soon. I'm just waiting on my roomies mom to get back from Egypt so I can make all of our ADR's.

 

[scrappy910]

Welcome Amy! Now when Gail gets back we need to get her to check in over here.

I am currently trying to organize all my scrapbook stuff. I just can't seem to find that perfect set up. Then I will try and decide what group of pictures I want to work on in August. The rate I am going I will still have my Christmas 2007 to work on. Hopefully by the first of May I will have decided and will start putting together items I want to take with me to SDV. Of course, once the classes come out, I may have to rethink how much I plan to get done. Anyone have suggestions on how to pack without bringing the whole house (like it looks like some of the ladies in the picture did)?

I kit everything. I don't crop any pics or paper but I do get the layout ideas, the pics, paper, and the embellishments I might use and stack everything up into bags. Right now I'm using the 2 1/2 gallon ziploc bags from Hefty, but I just ordered 2 power layout boxes from CM. I note what tools I use daily and those go into a paint can which I ship down ahead of time. (I fly)

I also pack an empty zilpoc for paper scraps.

Since there are a ton of vendors I don't worry to much about forgetting something. Make sure you bring plenty of tape runners though!

you would not believe the amount of stuff people bring, The first year I went I had 1 backpack, I got the funniest looks. The following year, I brought 1 rolling bag, and a tuff tote with my tools.
There was one lady there that had 2 bell carts filled with stuff. I swear she packed her whole scrap room. The ladies at the next table to us never left. They were in their PJ's, they brought a rolling cooler with lunch meat, drinks, etc. and they ordered pizza to be delivered right to the scrap room. It was crazy!

ETA talk amongst your table mates too. So you don't bring duplicate tools.

Is there a vendor fair that people not attending the event can go to? I realize there would likely be an admission charge, but I've never been clear if the vendors are just for registered croppers.

 

[Kim1964]

Good news! DH is OK with me going to a breakfast with you all on that Saturday. I'm so excited! Have ADRs been made yet?

AWM, I told him you'd be at WL, too, and he said he'd be happy to give you a ride over to BC that morning.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Tell your DH thank you!

not sure, the vendors are in the room with us. I don't know if they have an admission charge or not. I will ask around.

I'm going to be making the ADR's on Monday. I'm trying to wait for Lisa's mom to get home from Egypt.

What time are ya'll looking at? Around 9??

MomE is back from Egypt! She has lots of scrapping to do!
