THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

Melinda, Carol, the hostesses, the designers that donated prizes.... everyone involved.... this was a wonderful marathon. Work has been really stressful and last weekend I decided to take time for myself and scrap for the first time in ages.

Thanks for the opportunity to relive some good memories and get inspired again!

I just wanted to add my hugs of appreciation for everyone who made the speed scrap last weekend such a smashing success, and the “after party” this week just as fun! Thank you to Melinda for putting it all together, to the hostesses who challenged me to think beyond my comfort zone, to the amazing designers for all their generous gifts and to the Mousescrappers community for sharing your love in the gallery! Going through my goodie bag is continuing to inspire me to keep up the momentum! Thank you!

Thanks so much to everyone who organized, donated, and hosted. Last weekend I completed 13 pages but more importantly I escaped from reality. My mom has been in and out of the hospital for months and today we admitted my father for what we think is an ulcer. I haven't been able to participate in the fun and games this week but I truly appreciate the time spent and the talent given to make something like the marathon a reality. I'm not sure what the future holds in regards to my parents health but I will always have the memories from last summer's trip to WDW with them and my sister's family. I'm looking forward to scrapping even more of that trip with the goodies from the marathon in the weeks to come. Thank you all!

Just wanted to say Thank You to everyone involved in putting together the marathon. It was so motivating to finish 16 pages. It makes me want to scrap more of my Disney photos and to organize my supplies better so I can find things quickly. Thanks to all the hostesses who got me out of my comfort zone and gave me a "just do it" attitude. I love every single one of the pages I created and that, above all, makes the marathon a success for me. The prizes are icing on the cake and I really enjoyed unzipping all the goodies and ooh-ing and aah-ing over each one. Thank you designers! Melinda, I don't "know" you but your hard work behind the scenes was amazing, thank you!

Thanks to Melinda for organizing and to all the hostesses and those who provided such beautiful prizes. I look forward to the speed scrap weekends each time. I am sure there is so much more involved to getting such a big event coordinated than I even realize--Thank you again for your time and efforts!!

Just wanted to add my thanks to all of the amazing ladies who made the speed scrap marathon so much fun!! I had a great time participating in all of the scraps, and I'm still trying to find time to complete the few that I missed! And thank you to all of the great designers for your amazing work! Can't wait for the next one!

It was a great personal challenge to finish - - or maybe the harder part was starting. I participated in this challenge last year and loved it. I ended up moving this year and put scrapbooking on the backburner and this was a great way to ramp up my hobby again. It was great to chat, scrap and see the great pages from everyone. Thanks for everyone who participated, hosted, designed and made this challenge weekend possible!
