We are in the final countdown, just 4 more days of waiting!!!!!! Is your scrap room ready, do you have snacks planned, did you order anything special for this? Nosy minds want to know, lol. My room is no where near ready, will work on this over the next couple days. I will have a few snacks by the time we start, nothing that can get all over anything, lol . I have an order due in today, hopefully things that can be used for the weekend! I am thinking I used have ordered more adhesive though.

I'm so excited and so disappointed I'll be missing a big chunk of it since I extended out travel plans. 

I'm getting my little space in here as ready as I can, today I'm going to write up the schedule since I don't have a printer.

You sound like you are getting ready. My room is ok. But my desk is in shambles. Yesterday, I finished my tag for Stacy’s pre NSD challenge and also cut out a bunch of doilies for one of Brandy’s challenges. And vacuumed all those little bits up. Also had to make a birthday card for DH’s birthday today. I had 2 big orders come in from what I ordered in March. 49and Market. Summer orders from SS and Pebbles.. Trying to have a no spend April, which is almost done. Got photos ordered a couple of weeks ago, too. Hope you enjoy your crafty weekend and get lots accomplished.
I also printed out the schedule and planner pages. Should be heelpful. Sent in my Bingo words.

I think I’m ready. I have snacks and prepared meals from Trader Joe’s. I have plenty of photo paper and a new ink cartridge for my Epson photo printer. I’ve got lots of different adhesives. My desk is clean and even my floor is clean! 

Now I hope DH and I both stay healthy!

I have cleaned and straightened my scrap area only to mess it up again. I have purchased new and fun supplies--- only to use them already yesterday--- and I bought snacks that have somehow disappeared --- and I have a bunch of fat happy kids🤣. I give up! I'm just going to wing it!!!!

I'm ready!  I've got my craft space as organized as it can be.  As for snacks, I don't need much.  Just some cheese and crackers and endless supply of H2O.  Planning on frozen pizza for supper so I don't have to think about it and take the time to cook a meal.

I can hardly wait!!!! My room isn’t where I wanted it to be, but it’s better than it was! I recently reorganized ALL my stash so it was a huge undertaking LOL 

No special snacks yet, but I’ll get stuff this week. I did replace my printer ink yesterday too so that’s all squared away! 

My biggest prep is arranging for my boys to have a sleepover with my parents Thursday and Friday night! And then hubby is taking them to his parents on Saturday! I’m going all in this year! (With the exception of a soccer game for them Saturday morning, lol!)

I'm home from my scrappy weekend and getting organized for Friday!  It was exciting to see all of the great prizes and can't wait to give them away!

No to everything lol! There is never enough time. I did get some great photos yesterday and this morning on a walk for the 25 item challenge. I just got finished with my Hostess challenges and games drafts so that was holding me back cause this is my first time hosting. But yes, so excited and I want to do it all!

I am most excited for the two fast scraps by Flasher and Joannie! I have a lot of fun during those. It really motivates me to glue my creation together and leave perfectionism at the door! My scrap room is the guest room and I have my entire scrap and craft hoard boxed up; yesterday I began digging to see what I had hidden away hehehe! And of course that turned into making layouts into the wee hours of the night. Friday is probably going to be my most productive day as my son is in Kindergarten now and the only distraction is myself!!!

Have fun preparing everyone!!!

My scrappy space is pretty good. I had been working on a complete overhaul and reorg of supplies so I know where most things are now!
No snacks yet. I will see what I come up with.

I don't eat in my scrap room and I have a husband who expects to eat with me in the evenings which actually I prefer also.

I have been printing photos and putting them in piles on the floor so it will be easier to figure out something to scrap for each challenge. A couple of the albums I am currently using are non-standard sizes, so I will pre-cut background paper for those and hope a challenge comes that fits the photos and background paper. I also have a list of things that I can make.

Other than that, I am working on my games and this week I need to work on an example for one or 2 of my challenges. 

I will play all day Friday but will be in and out on Saturday and Sunday Benjamin is flying home in the morning and only staying for 5 days so he'll be my priority form then on, but he likes his down time too.

and I have purchased a couple different adhesives. Everything else will have to use what's been in my stash.

There are a few commitments that I already had for the weekend, one being a wedding. But I told my family that other than the few things I have to do I am in the craft room and not leaving it starting Friday!!! LOL
