I am here!  

I am Rachel in STL Missouri -  It is 3 pm my time and I just got back from KC.    I was able to do a few challenges yesterday and hoping to pick up a few more this evening.

Hello! My name is Trisha. I am from Defiance, Ohio. I love everything about ACOT. Shipping is fast. Ordering is easy (my husband would say to easy), the selection of paper and supplies is vast with all of the best brands available, and the best part is the community in the message boards. I have completed 23 of the challenges so far, and I have had a lot of fun playing the games.

Hi Trisha!  23 challenges!  You are awesome!

Hi! I'm Barb from Northern California. I love ACOT and all of their products and inspiration. I've been working on challenges and enjoying them. 

Welcome Barb!  Nice to meet you.  Glad you are able to join in.

I'm here  and I'm from Louisiana. I have done many of the LO challenges, but I have many more to do. I love shopping at ACOT and it's  a great place to meet people.  I
 also enjoy the monthly challenges that are offered. I have been retired for 15 years and I love spending my time with my 3 grandchildren.

Hello my fellow Cajun Lady...glad you are here!  Glad you are enjoying retirement.  Good luck with the challenges.

I am Misty and I am just north of Houston TX
I have been in and out all day...I got 4 challenges complete, photographed and loaded into the appropriate challenge threads...and that is a LOT!  LOL 
I have to work today, so I can't be scrapping, but I can play along a bit in between customers.  There are still a few challenges that I want to try to do, if I can find time during the week

 Hi Misty!  Glad you could join in.  I managed the same amount this weekend as well.  Good to see you here.

Susan here, from South Carolina. Better known as oceanbreezes. I have finished about 9 challenges to this point, paper everywhere, lol. This site has helped me build confidence in myself, taught me new and exciting ways to scrap, and I feel as though I have made friends! I have even met a couple in real life!!

I love your reasons for being here!  That is awesome.  Who have you met so far?

Hi my name is Karen and I live in Southwest Florida. I have been a Cherry with Acot for 9 years now. I love so many things about this community. So much inspiration that has allowed me to scrap more. I have done 2 challenges so far and played some games. A lot of fun! Hoping to get more done in the coming week!

Good to see you Karen.  Can't wait to see what you make.

Hi Cherries!  I'm Ginni from a semi remote island in SE Alaska!  Our time is 4 hours behind east coast time so I'm really just getting started today.  I've done 3 challenges so far but have been playing games and having fun.    I found ACOT about 2 years ago just before the NSD that year.  I love ACOT for the family atmosphere - especially here on the board, for the amazing products they keep in stock, for the Cherry points and so much more!!!  My husband and I have been married for 33 years in August.  We are retired and have a 3 acre homestead on a saltwater lagoon and we're surrounded by mountains.  The closest store is 25 miles away.  The closest Walmart and somewhat major city is Ketchikan which is about 30 miles away but being on an island here and Ketchikan being on another island we either have to take a 3 hour each way ferry or a 15 minute float plane.  We have a 25 pound cat, 3 geese, 3 ducks a rooster and a hen.  So much FUN!    You'll see them in my pages a LOT.  We also have 3 sons and a daughter, a granddaughter and 3 grandsons.  Seems like 3 is a repeating number in our family.  I'm off now to play games and see what other challenges I can accomplish!  SO MUCH creativity!!!!

someone was posting the same time as me and I lost all my typing!

I live in South Carolina but I am originally from Connecticut.

I like the people on the Message Board here at ACOT.  I joined MANY years ago on a NSD Crop.

I am trying to get up to the next cherry level.  A few years ago, I was ahead of CarrieG and she has blown me out of the water now....lol

That is too funny!  I have confidence you can get to the next cherry level!  Just keep posting away!

Helen from Sedona, Arizona where I live with my husband and sweet puppy. My husband’s been known to be sweet too.
I’ve been busy creating for the challenges - another reason to love ACOT. They really go all out for NSD!

Nice to meet you Helen!  They sure do go all out for NSD.  It's so much fun.

Hi!  I'm Christine, and I live NW of Chicago. Mom of 3, longtime scrapper & crafty person.  I haven't finished many challenges yet, but I'll be checking deadlines and hopefully catching up while my children are back at school tomorrow. This is my 2nd year participating in NSD with ACOT. I enjoy the Cherry Box and all ACOT has to offer!

Hello! Bonnie here from East Tennessee. I love ACOT and started with them way back when they were Stickers Galore and I lived in Central NY. I can't say enough about their customer service, Cherries message board and gallery, and so much inspiration to create. Let's keep it going this afternoon. I'm just finishing a 2-page layout for Kristin's challenge (aheatfan) from this morning. SO MUCH FUN!

Good to see you Bonnie.  Thanks for taking time to check in.  Glad you are getting challenges done.

Hi!  I am from Michigan and I live less than 10 minutes from ACOT!!!  How lucky is that??  I love them because they are a small family business and they are super nice people!  They continue the legacy for their mom/aunt, etc. 

That is so cool that you live so close to the physical store.  Have you done any classes there?

[Jan G.]

Hi!  I'm from Texas!  I'm so jealous of you who live so close ACOT!   I love ACOT.  It is my main source of scrapbooking supplies!  I've done maybe 6 or 7 challenges up to now.  I love all the ideas that come from the challenges.  It really helps you get outside your box.

I'm Amy JO and I'm from Arvada Colorado. I love ACOT for their awesome products and customer service, but more for the amazing challenges and inspiration each month. It's such a fun community and I am LOVING NSD this year!! I just completed my 9th challenge!

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!

Thanks for joining in today!
