Who's going - CKC Manchester?

[LindaBabe]

My syrup order will go in too! MUCH rather buy from a family operation than a store!

 

[lovingthemouse]

Ok Christy - you need to write all these syrup orders down because I would like to order some too - seriously!!! I will be at CKC on Saturday with Lisa and Co, so i can pay you then or ahead of time. Caroline

I live close to the CT River but in the Springfield area.

 

[LindaBabe]

have a spreadsheet made. Would you rather have it shared with the members of this thread on google documents, so each one could edit her own listing? In that case, I will need your gmail addresses.

Or, would you preferr that I email it to each of you? In this case, any old email will do.

Or, do you just want the classes with their participants posted to the thread in a list?

Wow Linda ... so many choices Personally I'm a gmail girl but I know not everyone is. I think posting the spreadsheet either here or in a new CKC - Manchester Class Thread would be great.

 

[PinballFamily]

Thanks, Linda!

I just talked to the Radisson and officially made the room changes I described above. This means that TinkerBean and our friend Shamrock will change the classes they signed up for (they had a scheduling conflict and now can get it resolved!)

Once TB does this, she'll likely post and add her classes to the growing list.

Ryan - what did you do last year with everyone's schedules? You were the 2009 Master List Mistress!!! It was also very helpful to have folks' cell phone numbers. I'd vote for doing that again...

Christy - with the way our family goes through maple syrup, couldn't we just put in a pipe from your sugar house directly to our kitchen?

 

[calanniebu]

Last year I had a spreadsheet in google docs but when you paste it into here it doesn't work so well ... and as far as cell phones go, it was in the same spreadsheet. I'll have to look to see if I still have them.

 

[PinballFamily]

Wow - just checked the Manchester class list and several are already full and closed. (All-? the Quick Quotes ones and at least one of the Technique Tuesday ones)

For future reference, are the QQ ones *that* good? Or, do you just get great goody bags, or...? Tell me, tell me!

I don't have a gmail account, but I've used google documents before, I think?? I'll figure out whatever.

Is "Shamrock" the woman we met last year? Does she know she has a new name?

I just wasn't loving the colors this year, but in general I am a big Quick Quotes fan. Their style is very distinctive and not for everyone. Their teacher is one of the best I've ever had. They don't give goodie bags - just some giveaways and coupons. I have a lot of their canvas projects hanging in my home and will probably pick up a few more this year.

 

[LindaBabe]

I don't even USE quick quotes and I loved their classes. It's the teacher - Michelle Grainger. She's fun and she repeats her directions a lot so even the slowest among us ( that would be me) can follow them. UNLIKE the LicketySplit teacher, who talks exactly that, LICKETY SPLIT!

Okay Ladies I will write down all the orders and add another rolling tote to the ever growing pile of luggage. I need what sizes you are interested in. Gallons are always the cheapest and it can be frozen. the smaller you go in size Price goes up just to cover the increased jug cost. I will check in with Tom to see if he's planning on using last years prices ( catalogs just came so I have looked at can costs.

As soon as I know sizes I will pm you all with the costs and my cell number.
I'm now off to open an excel sheet to keep up with you all.

Pam as for the pipeline you build it I'll fill it.

Spreadsheet started feel free to pm the order too. And thank you ladies it is truely Tom's passion

1. Yep.

2. She does now! She laughed and said "Oh, God!" She thinks we're all nuts (in the nicest possible way!) and is excited about coming to another CKC.

See, that's why I love Lickety Split. They give you color pictures and only tell the directions once. Listen up and get to work!

Hey! I'm OLD! GIve me a break

Hi all...need help!! I can't decide if I should go for the day (Fri) and take a few classes. This will be my 1st trip so excited and nervous all at the same!!
My cousin can't make it this year so I would be solo. I'm coming from MA and Manchester is about an hour away.
Who knows some of the classes may be full already. Well, looking for 2cents ...like I said I have never gone to one before or cropped with other even!! thanks!! Maybe I will see you there!

Donna Honestly my first 2 years I was so overwhelmed that all I did was the vendor fair. that being said if any of my fridday classes intrest you or you just want someone to tag along with I'm more than happy to have you. Mom and I will be together in the same classes on fri. I'm sure that the shopping we will split up somewhat. Either way you're more than welcome to join us.

Thank you so much... it would be nice to maybe "see/meet" a few people from the boards as going solo all day could be lonely...but I'm sure people are willing to chit chat.....I total know what you mean about shopping--- I heard it is great and can break the bank-lol!! Decisions, Decisions....thank you!!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Donna, where are you in Massachusetts? I'm in Milford.

 

[joyah]

break the bank is mild. Take cash and leave all cc's at home!!!! I had a major case of the have to haves the first year and last year was a bit better although I still dropped a ton of money. this year my hope is since I'll be there 2 days I'll make smarter choices.

Donna -
Hope you decide to attend - whether you do a class or two or just do the Vendor Hall (there are a lot of free or $2-3 "Make and Takes" on the show floor that seem just as good as some of the classes) - you'll have fun!

Many of us will be in matching shirts - keep watching this thread for info about what they'll look like - so you'll DEFINITELY be able to find us to meet up!
