I was able to attend a whole day crop (well, it was more like a 14 hr crop) yesterday with several of the cricut circle girls that I met back in August 2011...plus a couple of other circlets!
I got there around 10:30...because I had to stop for some chips (and a 2nd cup coffee). When I arrived, Teresa (LadybugT) Linda (CanadianLinda) and Jasmine (a circlet, but doesn't come to the MB) were already there and working. I was so pleased that I was there...and had a whole 14 hours to do what I wanted and have a break from PJ...that I spent several minutes (or more) sitting still, watching and sighing (and smiling). Shortly after I arrived, Cheryl (GypsyLady) came in with all her stuff.

We were all pretty intense in sitting and working on our projects - it was almost like no one was there. Alice (dugspookie) and Sherri (sherrihend180) arrived around 1:30. The volume in the room increased upon their arrival ;) Lunch consisted of taco chips, salsa, chocolate, cupcakes and coffee - lunch of champions! Once everyone was all unpacked and working - we all got intense and quiet again. We only had 1 drama - poor Teresa was using a vagabond and the darn thing got stuck - somehow Alice was able to get the mat, die and paper out and the machine still worked. Jen (JenniferHawkins2 - aka cruise winner) came with her 3 adorable kids to have a quick visit - it was great to see her too!

We had a fantastic pasta supper and a liquor infused death by chocolate dessert - YUM! Then we all buckled down again. Teresa's son's school was having a silent auction, so Alice and Sherri were helping to make items to be auctioned off - it kept everyone focused.

I think everyone made a ton of things during that 14 hour span at the LSS (Scrap-a-Lot) and we all had a great time. Looking forward to the next gathering...maybe in Calgary!
