Does anyone want to know more about the MM goodie bags?
 

Just wondering... Anyone curious about what you might find inside the Minnie Marathon goodie bags? Want to twist my arm for some hints? Are you busting to know? Curious about what you are working towards?

Perhaps if you were extra nice and used your manners.... I might.... just might... be willing to give you a few hints.... :yes:

Maybe... :idea: I'll use this thead to tell you a little more about the goodie bags at various times during the weekend. You might need to check back on a random basis to see what has been psoted. :thumbsup:

Of that is.... if you are interested......:D

Seriously Melinda..... :yes:

did you even have to ask?

I'M STALKING THIS THREAD....


I can do a toddler meltdown if you want... :furious: :willynilly:

Or you could just show us something.. :please:

Can you PLEASE SHARE?
 

ME! ME! ME! I'm interested! Can you please show us something, anything, PLEEAASSE?:thanks::thanks::thanks:

I know some of the goodies......TEEHEE!!!!!!

You tease!!!

Pretty, please?

You do! :thumbsup: Perfect post..... I couldn't have planned this better. I was wondering who I should leak out information about first.... and viola... My thoughts answered... :flowers:

I can't necessarily "show" you guys anything... well not yet.....that would spoil the suprise too much... BUT... I can say this...

Our awesome Store Designers and Sponsors have been busy little bees. They have been working hard putting together some great goodies for you.

Tammy of Polka Dot Chicks is one our of Mousescrappers Store Designers.
Have you seen her store? If not go check out her super cute designs. She has templates and great Disney related kits galore.

Tammy has created and donated not 1...not 2... not 3.... BUT 5.... YES I said 5... different goodie packs for you!

So a big shout out to Tammy of Polka Dot Chicks for helping make this weekend special. :thanks::thanks::thanks:

I'll be back soon to leak more goodie bag secrets. :woohoo:

Yea :yes: you are right! BUT I am busting to share. I can't hardly keep it a secret. At least by posting this thread I get to leak out some information to you guys. :thumbsup:

I want to shout and scream... but that would spoil everything. So.. this is my little way of sharing, but not getting into too much trouble. :yes:

I tell you guys... we have the BEST group of Designers and Sponsors. We need to do our part to support them and remember our manners.

:lovesite:

No need to shout and scream....just whisper it in a pm to me hehe
:devil:

You know Melinda to be completely honest, I like the big surprise when we get the download links after completing all the SS. I was fortunate enough to complete all 3 SS marathons, and the goodie bags were always nothing but extraordinare.
Its Xmas morning with the ohhhhhhs and ahhhhhhs.

Thanks once again for putting all this together. And thanks to all that donated the pp for the goodie bags.
:hooray:

No fair. Seriously.

Its the LONGEST FRIDAY EVER.

So fun! Thanks Tammy of Polka Dot Chicks! I'm sure that was a lot of work.:hooray:

Can't wait to see it, and I agree with Ana Carol, it was like Christmas opening up the goodie bags! :woohoo:

I hope I'm able to participate in all of them.

I can't wait either!! I'm hoping the hosts will give extra time like in the past. I have 3 things this weekend that I can't miss, but I want to complete the marathon during the time allotted for each SS...I so enjoy challenges where I'm under the gun LOL!!

:hooray: Thanks to all of the designers and hosts!! I can't wait to see what you've got for us in the way of challenges and PPs :)

This is like waiting for Santa!!! Cant wait!!!!!!

cannot wait! :woohoo::yeah::D:thanks: Melinda!

I am back from lunch.... it is starting to storm here... so I need something to make me smile... How about sharing a little more goodie bag information? That makes me happy. :hooray:

So let's see.... Who likes to go shopping? Who likes awesome Disney related kits? Who likes saving money? Who loves Kellybell Designs?

Well... if you answered YES :yes: to any of the above questions... you might want to work hard at completing all 8 Speed Scraps.

What? You don't know Kellybell Designs? Well here is a link to her awesome shoppe. Go take a look around. I know you will fall in love with some of her designs.

Oh I love these cheeky bits of info Melinda. You sure are psyching us up for the fun weekend ahead!! I can't wait :woohoo:

Oh my goodness... I haven't heard "cheeky" in ages!!!!! My DH is from Austalia and he use to say that word a lot. He has become more Americanized and rarely says that word. I forgot how much I missed it... until you said it. THANKS! I needed that good laugh.

I am going to be smiling the balance of the afternoon thinking about it!

So, from your hints Melinda, I will need to not only prepare my mouse hand for all the extra clicking I'll be doing this weekend, the dining table with all my traditional scrap supplies (I'm going to try a layout or two the good ol' fashion way), prepare my family for my absentee parenting for the next 2 days BUT ALSO have to prepare my wallet for the assult on it that I'm sure all your hinting is referring to.

Oh the insanity.

HA! HA! HA! Yep... you about nailed it on the head! You might toss in doing some back exercises too as I found not only was my hand a little sore from the January Marathon, but my rump and back too.. lol... It look me two days to recover... but hey... I completed the marathon! AND... I didn't care ... it was SOOOOOOOO worth it! :surf: :scrapbooking: :lol:

:yeah:Can't wait!!!

I am so excited for this speed scrap minnie marathon! I think I may actually be able to complete them all! <fingers crossed> :)

It sounds like this is a bad weekend for us to have our museum visit planned for an exhibit that's leaving in a week... I'm totally bummed that I have to miss this one! But, I can say from past experience, the goodie bags always make the hard work worth it!

I've started posting a few of the prizes for the actual Speed Scraps. It is the second post here. I'll post more in the morning and more on this thread too!

I am off to bed. It has been a super long day.

I'll leave you tonight with this little glimpse into the goodie bags... and this really is a glimpse... ;)

Have you checked out the releases this week at the Mousescrappers Store? Have you read the new information on the Mousescrappers Blog? Well then you have met our new Designer, My Own Little Chair. :hooray: Sara came onboard late in the event planning and she still was able to whip up an awesome goodie for us. You might just have seen a little preview of her donation... that is if you have been paying close attention. Just sayin....

So, I encourage you to get to know Sara. You might want to put her blog into your favorites and keep an eye out for her yummy yummy creations at the Mousesrappers Store. :thumbsup:
