Classes
I just had lunch at Olive Garden with Jodie and Conchita. The food was tasty and so delicious and the company was fabulous. While there we got into a conversation about the swarm that will be happening in a few weeks. Ooh! the time is ticking and I sure don't want to get a lickin so I better get going so I will have this swarm flowing! Did I say that? Mmm! look what you girls are in for. Think your going to be able to put up with me for 55 hours?
Jodie has informed me that she and Jeanne have great classes planned for us. I am so excited I can't wait. Just the thought of having so many hours to crop till we crash! To eat, drink, learn, win gifts and most all enjoy each others company. Wow! Who wouldn't want to do that.
Jodie has also informed me that she will have a picture of the layout kit she has prepared so hopefully I can get it posted for you all to see. Jodie does fine work. Thanks girl!
I too will try and get the card kits posted hopefully next week.
I have all the gifts ready and waiting. Remember you must be in attendance to recieve your gifts. They will be given out during the 3 days. You will never know when your name will be called.
Things to remember if your participating in the home cricut layout contest.
You must remember to have your cricut layout that you made from home put on the contest table right when you arrive. Please ask AK or Bonnie for a special ticket for you to win a special gift. This gift will be given to you after the announcement of the winner.
This ticket is seperate from the ticket you will recieve when you enter which will be for the grand prize on Sunday.
If you do not have it available right after you come in, you will not be eligible for that special ticket but you still will be eligible to enter the contest for first and second place winners.
I myself can't wait to see everyone's work.
Don't forget to call Scrapnstamp at 904/725/1253 to register there still is time. Because of the holiday, if you think you need an extention on paying for registration please speak to Jodie, she will be the only one who would be able to accommodate your request. Or you can email me A.K. at jacksonvillecricutretreat@gmail.com and I will take care of it for you.
See you girls soon! Chirp! chirp!

Did everyone survive the hustle and bustle of the holidays!
Hello Everyone! I sure hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to everyone.
I myself had a very nice one, enjoying our grandchildren opening presents and getting so excited. My grandson Hunter who is 4 was upset with his dad as he left twigs in the fireplace and Santa had to land on them and then he ripped his pants as Hunter found a piece of Santa's red pants on the metal rack the wood sits on. The rack was even knocked out of the fireplace. Hunter got excited when he saw the Cookie crumbs that were left in the fireplace. He also told his dad not to start a fire Christmas eve as he didn't want Santa to get burned. We all laughed.
On Christmas Eve Santa drop in my home for a visit while we had company. All the grandchildren were screaming and so excited to see him thru the window and then Santa knocked on the door. We let him in and he threw snow all over everyone. It was so much fun. Santa had a gift for everyone that was there even me. I got to sit on his lap too.
One of my friends we'll she was not being so good as I think she was flirting with Santa. I was watching her and she didn't take her eyes off of him. She grinned from ear to ear. Then when it was her turn to sit on his lap boy she was really smiling and Santa was blushing. Mmm! I was getting a little worried as I know Santa left poor Mrs. Clause home. Mmm! I also know it gets pretty cold outside for him and only flying with his Reindeers all night long I am sure it gets pretty lonely. But between you and me I think my friend talked Santa in going home with her. Watch out Mrs. Clause think you might have some competion. Santa was sure doing a lot of Ho Ho-ing.
Well just wanted to drop in and let everyone know the time is coming, it's right around the corner and we can leave all that hustle and bustle behind us.
We can concentrate on having a great time at the retreat. Is everyone ready? I guess I should be saying am I ready for everyone!
Well I still have lots of work to do and will be getting started on it in a couple of days once again.
So I will say so long for now and hope to see all of you soon. Don't forget to call Scrapnstamp and get signed up.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

YOU DON'T NEED TO OWN A CRICUT TO COME
If you don't own a cricut or don't even want to bother with one that that is no problem. This is a retreat that is willing to help those who want to learn about one but it is also a scrapbooking retreat. If you just like scrapbooking or making cards or any paper project that is fine too. Everyone is welcome to work on what ever they want for the 55 hours.
Those that don't want anything to do with the cricut but would like to attend I will make sure we have contests for you to participate in. You won't have to use the cricut. I want this to fair for all scrapbookers. Just want a fun and relaxing weekend.
If you don't want to stay but a few hours each day that is fine. What ever is comfortable for you. But remember to at least be back for the food, games and prizes. Thats the fun part!
This is just a getaway for those who want to be with other cricut and scrapbook sisters. This would be a great time to work on a project you have been trying to get done for awhile and haven't been able to for some reason or another. It is also a great way to relax after the holidays. So come and relax and have a great time.

NEED A HOTEL
Anyone needing a hotel for the weekend please send me an email and I will try and find the best rate I can for you.
Also there is no lodging at solomon but if you wanted to bring a blow up mattress, blanket, and your pillow you are welcome to put upstairs in the meeting room. So you can rest when ever you needed too. But remember there are no showers there.
If you wanted to save on a hotel night then you could bring the mattress and spend Friday night and then go to your hotel room for Sat.
This is just a suggestion to those who are traveling from out of town.
