LOL. I almost took a vacation day, and I'm still considering leaving early.

How long do you usually have to finish a page? I was just asked to help with something on Saturday and it looks like I am going to be out for several hours, even though I had no plans!!!

YEAR 3 for me, I think, maybe year 4, I'm not sure, I just know I get LOTS of pages done for the Marathon and have tons of fun and laughs in the chat rooms! Unfortunately I will miss most of the chats and am hoping for extra time to get the pages done so I can finish it. I have homeschool convention on Friday and Saturday ( again this year, last year I had 3 hours in the car on the way home with someone else driving and knocked out 2 days worth in 3 hours!! You talk about SPEED Scrapping!!) and my kids will just be back from spending 2 weeks with my Brother so... I could pretend like I am sick on Sunday and just stay held up in my bedroom with a computer to scrap or see my kids that I haven't seen in 2 weeks????? decisions, decisions!!

LOL. that is a bit difficult if you've not seen them in a couple weeks! The new chat room has a phone app, in case you have downtime you can log in and say hello

I did my first Marathon in January 2012. It is my absolute favorite event of the year! I just love getting so many layouts done in a single weekend. They really push me not only to complete pages, but also to try something different. This year, I am pushing myself a new way by hosting for the first time. . . . Go easy on me. Mine will be Sunday morning. I will probably give 5 or 6 hours since I will have my own obligations - My daughter is in tech week for her Winnie the Pooh show that she will be in next week. Rehearsal every day this week starting Friday, of course!

I am proud to have finished the whole Marathon each year (not every individual SS, but getting them all done by the Monday due time).
Can't wait for the fun!

we did our first marathon together then! You'll do great hosting! Not sure I'll be in that chat, but if we go to late service I might be

Each host establishes her own time to complete. I will tell you that when I host I try to take into account people who are overseas and might be sleeping when my chat is going on. So, considering my chat is afternoon, which is evening/night in Europe - I will most likely give a nice timeframe to complete in. But each host is different. I would say my gut tells me that the average is 3-4 hours. - but do NOT quote me on that. LOL

I'm enjoying getting out of my comfort zone as I make layouts. ONE paper - seriously? BUT - I did it, and I like the layout, and I sure wouldn't have even thought about it otherwise!!!

LOL. yes, I was a bit concerned about that one too, but with journal cards it worked out well!

I feel like Phineas and Ferb when I start a new speed scrap...

What are we going to scrap today?
Ferb, I know what we're going to scrap today!!
**and then proceeds to open the photos on to my program**

Does anyone else feel this way? Or do you have an idea what photos you will be scrapping this marathon?
