Speed Scrap Minnie Marathon Thanks
 

I want to start a thank you thread to all of the hosts and designers who made this weekend of awesomeness happen.

A big thanks to Britt of Britt-ish Designs, Chelle of Chelle's Creations, Fran of FranB Designs, Paula of Keystone Scraps, Kelly from Kellybell Designs, Amanda of Designs by Amanda, Leslie of Leslie Bodoh Designs, and Natalie from Natalie's Place Designs. These ladies donated all of the awesome prizes for our speed scraps and the upcoming goodie bag.

I know there are more Designers who put items in the goodie bag but I don't know all of them yet, but when I do I will list them!

Make sure you go and support their stores, because without them and their support of this site, Mousescrappers would not be as awesome as it is.

I also want to thank Carol for coming up with and running this awesome place. She is amazing!

Last, but certainly not least lets give a big thanks to Melinda (scrappinnewbie) for putting this all together. She has been working hard behind the scenes, contacting designers, setting up the SS schedule and putting the awesome goodie bag together. You totally rock Melinda. Thanks for putting all of this fun together!

Thank you to everyone listed above!! I love all the PPs and had a great time getting pages done. I was late for my own surprise 40th BD party Saturday night because I was trying to finish 2 pages so I wasn't behind LOL! (thought I was going to a demo, so I wasn't worried HA!)

Thank you for organizing everything, Melinda!! It was a totally awesome weekend and you were answering questions, etc!! So great :hooray:

I'm exhausted from finishing so I'm off to get some coffee and then leave love for everyone :surf:

:thanks: to everyone!!! I can't wait for the next one!!

Thanks so much Julie. I am always happy to help this site. We are so blessed with a great group of Designers, Sponsors and Scrappers. I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful community.

I'd also like to say a BIG SHOUT OUT to the Hostesses. Thank you Britt, Julie, Paula, Kelly, Amanda, Leslie and Natalie for donating your time to host a SS. For those who might be new, hosting just isn't for that one hour. There is a lot of preparation and closing work that to be done. I appreciate each of out Hostesses taking their personal time to make our event special.

I'll be putting a list together soon of all those who donated towards the goodie bag. We need to remember our manners and also support those who support us.

Seriously, we have such a great community here. I hope everyone had a great time. For those scrappers who completed all 8 Speed Scraps, please be patient. I work full-time so I will be working on these treats each evening. However, I do have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep you busy while I get it together...... so be watching the forums for more fun and games.

Thanks again ladies for making this weekend super fun!!!!

I had a great time this weekend. There are so many amazing layouts in the gallery this weekend that are just spectacular. Many thanks to all the hostesses, organizers and designers participating this weekend. It makes it all so special. This is a wonderful and warm community here at Mousescrappers. So thankful to Carol for providing us all a place to come together!

I did a thread earlier too!

Thank you to all that made this Marathon a success.

I just posted a "thanks" over in the chit chat thread, but it bears repeating -

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!
Thank you to all the awesome designers, SS/Chat hosts, and especially to Melinda & Carol!

I agree with what's said above!
A big thank you to all who contributed to make this event so special.

I had a blast. So thank you to our hosts, sponsors, everyone who put their time and effort in making this event so great.

Thank you for helping me get back into scrapping my trip!! The challenges were awesome and I really can't wait to see the goody bag. I loved remembering why I scrap - to get the memories on the page. That's why I love these marathons.

THANK YOU!!!! :wave:

Thanks so much to everyone who organized, hosted, gave prizes, and all the nice people I met while playing along! I had a really great time. I tried to show my appreciation in the nicest way possible (with cash money) at almost all the shops. Thanks again everyone, it was a blast!

Wow... when I think what went on "behind the scenes" it totally blows my mind!!! Sooo many beautiful people who spread their love of scrapbooking to those of us who love this art just as much! Without all of you (listed in this thread) we wouldn't be able to do what we love to do.

Thank you ever so much, all of you, for making us all so happy! What a wonderful community we have and agree that there are just so many gorgeous layouts as a result of this past weekend!

A great big giant thank you to all the hostesses and designers who led the Speed Scraps and donated fabulous prizes!! Thanks to Carol for provididng us with this wonderful forum so that we could have the kind of weekend we all just had. And thanks to Melinda for the many hours of work she did to make this marathon possible. Thanks also to my fellow scrappers for posting gorgeous layouts that I really enjoyed seeing, and for posting comments on each others layouts. Looking forward to doing this again, I had a blast!!

thanks for an amazingly fun weekend and the wonderful prizes!

my thanks as well! And the perfect weekend to choose too - my life gets busy starting this week with back to school and what not. It was my lowest key weekend in weeks! LOL

Thank you for a fun weekend.

Thank you so much for all the hard work putting this speed scrap together! Thank You, Thank you , Thank you!

I had so much fun this weekend, so a big thanks from me to all who helped making this weekend such a succes!

Many thanks to all who had a hand in the marathon! I live for these things even tho my hubby thinks I am completely nuts. :thumbsup:

Many thanks to the organizers, designers and hostesses for a fun scrapping weekend! :scrapbooking:

Thank you, Thank you, thank you, to all the hosts, contributors, organizers and scrappers! I'm new here and this was a great way for me to jump in and "meet" everyone. I also discovered some new designers that I am very excited about shopping with in the future.
:):)

So happy I was able to participate again this year! Thanks to all the sponsors, designers, hosts, and organizers... you guys are totally awesome!!!!

Thank you thank you
 

Thank you so much for making this happen - I am inspired again and working on my stuff again all because of each and every one of you that made this happen!! Thank you!

Adding my thanks and appreciation to the long list! I had so much fun, and had been away from my Disney scrapping for too long - thank you to the designers, hosts, and coordinators who made this marathon possible. You guys rock!

To the organisers, hosts, and the people who have donated prizes.

A HUGE THANK YOU from the land downunder.

My other half has now learnt to ignore me while I am busy doing a scrap marathon.

Everytime I do an a page I learn a little bit more. I have seen some lovely kits that have been used and I am off to try to find them for my collection.

Again a HUGE THANK YOU :thanks:

thank you for all of the hard work that went into putting together such an incredible event!!! :thanks:

Yes thank you to everyone who made this possible! The designers, the sponsors, the admins, etc. It is such a win-win, not only did we earn incredible freebies but it's the gift that keeps on giving because of all the great layouts in the gallery! Thanks guys! :yeah:

Thank you, Melinda for putting this "show" together. We are all so grateful.:flowers:

To all of the talented designers--thank you for sharing your talent! It's so generous of you to give away that talent for our enjoyment. :hooray:

Last, but not least, thanks to Carol, who makes this all possible, by providing the most magical:sorcerer: of all places to gather & share our love of scrapbooking.:hug:

I feel so blessed to be a small part of it.
:lovesite:

Oh my, I don't know how I missed this thread! First and foremost, I want to again express my heartfelt thanks to Melinda for organizing this entire party all by herself! She is humble about the credit she deserves as there is a ton of work she does behind the scenes - lots of communication and coordination. She is a fantastic event planner with lots of fresh ideas to keep everyone engaged - and she is always fair to both designers and participants. She's also been a wonderful sounding board for all the wonderful ladies who donated prizes and time (hosting, creating, etc). Thank you so much Melinda! :flowers:

While I joined in on all but one chat, I was only able to finish a couple of layouts. :blush: (creative block!) So I won't get to see the goodie bags (Melinda and I play by the rules, too!), but I hear they are absolutely wonderful and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed something to it. I'd also like to give my sincere thanks to all the hosts and those who donated SS prizes - I really appreciate your time... I know it takes a lot of time before, during and after to run each one!

Finally, thanks to the MS community for stopping in to play this weekend. I hope you had fun! :chat: :scrapbooking: :hug:

I think I sent each hostess a thank you, but I would also like to say thanks here! This weekend was a blast, and I got EIGHT pages done for our last trip! Amazing since I don't think I have made eight pages this entire year! It was fun to forget about designing for a little while and do something for myself! And now my book is almost finished!

And a special thanks to Melinda, who so tirelessly puts so much time and effort in to make this all happen. I know how much work it is to organize an event like this, and it isn't easy! So thanks, Melinda! :) You deserve the goody bag even if you didn't finish all of the layouts!

I want to say thanks to everyone involved in the marathon this weekend! It was my first real marathon and it was a challenge for me but I;m so glad I stuck through it til the end.

The prizes are amazing, the designers involved are all to notch and I'm happy to say I discovered some new designsers this weekend and I can't wait to check out those shops! All of your generosity and talent is so appreciated. Thank You!!

Thank you to Carol and Melinda for making it all happen- I know an awful lot goes into an event like this behind the scenes, and I am grateful for having the opportunity to play along.

To all MS members, friends, scrappers- thank you too for your help, support and love left on my layouts. As I continue to grow and develop my skills I hope to participate more! Thanks for making it FUN! This is an awesome community! :)

Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to make this Speed Scrap happen! This was the first time I had ever done anything like this. I was totally exhausted by the end! It was definitely a challenge, but I really appreciated trying different styles and ideas.
Thank you SO much!! :hooray:

Thank you for everyone who organized, hosted and donated. THANKS! :)
