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.

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 Misty! Glad you could join in. I managed the same amount this weekend as well. Good to see you here.Mommyof5 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 3:12 pmI 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

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?

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!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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