Speed Scrap Minnie Marathon Thanks

[CoralTurtle]

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

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.

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

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

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!

While I joined in on all but one chat, I was only able to finish a couple of layouts. (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!

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!
