2014 Marathon - Important Annoucements
 

I am starting this thread as a central spot where I can post all the activities happening this weekend. I always have so many things to communicate to you that I want one place to put it all. :wave: Please watch this thread regularly for important updates on games, wrap up fun and more!

The Speed Scrap portion of the marathon is about to begin. There will be lots more activities after that part is over.... so be watching. You won't want to miss these either.

I will use this thread as a way to communicate the additional fun things awaiting you...soooo keep on the look out!

If you could avoid posting comments here, that would be great. Just leave this thread for me to use for annoucements. Thanks!

Well... I had a terrible attack of the dorks last night...lol... I was uploading the goodie bags and after a couple hours of waiting, it being 11:30 pm and it being 98% done, I thought I'd just leave it running and go to bed.... Well...my happy fingers closed out that program instead of the other one I had open!... Doh! :eek: I wanted to scream! Noooooooooooo! :pc:

I re-started the upload this morning before I left for work. If all goes well, I am close to passing out the bags. :thumbsup:

I will be back tonight with more details. Send pixie dust my way and positive thoughts for my PC.

I love it - a terrible attack of the dorks - I so know the feeling!!! I have done that before with multiple windows open. Hope all went well. Thanks again for organizing all of this. It was an amazing marathon and post-marathon games event!! KUDOS!:woohoo::yeah::hooray:

Thanks Monica for making me not feel not alone in the dork department... lol. It actually crashed sometime during the day, so I had to re-start it tonight. BUT... it is now done and all bags are passed out! :yeah: You should see them in your mailboxes. :)

I will work on wrapping up all the games in the next few days and passing out the balance of the goodies and Gift Certificates.

I also may have another game up my sleeve... so be watching!

Thanks everyone for your patience while I finalized the bags. I think you will be very pleased. :) Heck... I KNOW you will be.

Please remember to Thank all those who donated. They are the hero's of the event!

I will post a quick think to help you reach out to them. Be looking in the forum.

:thanks:

I am downloading them now! That's a lot of gigabytes!! Can't wait to unzip them!:D

Yay for the goodiebag!!! Thanks for all your work Melinda (and everyone else) and for keeping us entertained while waiting :)
