~Let’s Do it again!~
April 28th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Happy Monday!! Well, I survived! Our event (1st Western New York Splitcoaststampers Gathering) went off really well. We had 50 in attendance, including Tracy (Lodichick) and I. What a whirlwind of a day, it was, too!
We arrived early to set up and get our ‘kitchen crew’ moving. Our kitchen crew (seen below) consisted of my DH, Don and Tracy’s DH, Greg. They were awesome!!! The food was awesome, too. Kudos to the guys!! It’s not easy keeping 50 women happy, but they pulled it off 🙂
That’s Greg on the left and Don on the right.

Okay, twist my arm, I am game for #2 but not for another year!!
So glad you all had a great time Holly! Thanks for sharing the pictures. It looks like the winner of our Hambo stamps was in a state of utter disbelief! LOL Sorry I missed the fun!
Wish I lived about 3,500 miles closer so I could come 🙂 Glad you had a great time and I’m sure everyone was very happy with all the hard work you did to prep for it. Looking forward to seeing your cards posted again – having “Toy” withdrawals 🙂
OH, I’m so jealous! Looks like y’all had a blast!!
Oh my…what a blast that must have been!!
i can’t wait 12 months-what about 8-10 mos.???????????
what great day. felt like a “wedding”-went by way too fast!
Totally let’s do it again!!! You and Tracy did a fab job. I’m so glad I made it — It was totally worth the 7 hour drive:D
