Hi Melissa! 

I currently live in SE PA where we are now retired, but have also lived in Maryland, New York and Indiana. 

I love everything about ACOT...the store has excellent inventory and customer service plus the nicest people ever!  The message board is by far the best with so many wonderful cherry friends, challenges and fun.

I've been playing along with the NSD games and jotting down the challenges that I hope to get to.  I try to do one from every hostess and if time permits, I go back and grab more.

Looking forward to the rest of today!

I’m Kim, also from Louisiana. I love to travel but can’t imagine living anywhere else. I just completed my 7th challenge…I think… I need a brain break! Its been a busy, fast moving weekend but have loved every second of it. 

I love ACOT because they are a small company making a huge impact on so many of us. They are always around on the boards if we need something, have an amazing selection of products AND they teach you how to use them! Their shipping is super fast and packaging is the best I’ve ever seen. I love being able to support a business that truly cares for their customers.

Hi! Rhea here from Georgia. My favorite thing about ACOT is the PREORDERs! But I also love the ACOT family history and one of the main reasons I shop with them.

I haven't done any challenges yet, ya'll been keeping me too busy with the games lol..... plus spending my nights with a newborn, first grandchild, helping out to give my daughter some sleep time.

Hello! I'm Jessica from Arizona. I have 2 little girls under the age of 4 and a wonderful husband who is attending to them as if I wasn't in my craft room all weekend lol I'm finally getting to some LO's today. I love ACOT, their customer service and the inspiration they continuously provide! I love this community most of all! I have definitely found a new crafty home!

I'm here, My name is Jennifer and I live in the middle of no where in Nebraska. A town of 300 and the closest next town is 75 miles away north or south. I love everything about ACOT!! and since the closest scrapbook store is 5 hours in any direction I order a lot at ACOT. LOL I've done 2 challenges so far. 

Good to see you Jennifer!   Glad to see you representing Nebraska!  Hope you are enjoying the crop.

I love being able to order stuff before it comes out. So much fun! I am participating in the challenges but I'm a slow scrapper so I have only done 5 or 6 so far.

[condo]

Hi, condo here. I live about two miles from the ACOT site. It can be very dangerous. I don't do much scrapbooking these days. I love hanging out and seeing what others do. I mostly create atcs and carve rubber stamps. I love the variety of paper and the double sided kinds. Very hard to find anything like it in a big box craft store.

Hey Melissa! I'm from Wisconsin and first loved ACOT for the shopping/sales/cherry hunt, but now am a message board/gallery regular. I have played many games this weekend and have a layout for the Framed Challenge about half done. I had to stop and switch to doing tags for Flasher's Not-So-Fast Scrap because I am running out of time. That one is due yet today. Looking forward to seeing the Share A Sketch Challenge!

Glad you were able to join us this weekend.  I enjoy hunting cherries too.  All my challenges are currently posted. Good luck!

This weekend, in between adulting,
I've started a few of the Challenges, completed one, and played some games..
Now I'm pouting because I have to go to work lol!!! I'm gonna try to play along via my phone at work, too.
(My wifi at home may be out until tomorrow!!!! Ugh!!!)

Hello Holly,  I feel you on the adulting part.  I have clothes to iron after I get off of here.  I just want to scrap all day.  Have a great work shift!

Hello, I'm alittle late, Trying to get another layout done before I got back on my laptop.
I live in central Indiana. I love ACOT's community. I've met some of my besties because of ACOT!!

Karyn here. I’m from Syracuse NY but I’m in Buffalo this weekend for a NSD retreat with some good friends - one of whom is also an ACOT cherry!

WiFi is wacky at the hotel so I’m posting this a bit late - Hope it going counts.

So far I’ve finished 6 or 7 challenges but I’ve started several others to finish at home when I have all my stuff.

I discovered ACOT during Covid lockdown and the challenges keep me motivated
