January 27-29, 2012 Speed Scrap Marathon

I was wondering what the time frame will be for completing the SS because a few of them are only 2 hours apart.... I hope some extra time will be given

I am so excited about this. It appears that I might have to miss some church for this event...unless there is extra time. I noticed (I am on the east coast) that one is at 10 am on Sunday and the next at 1 pm. Church usually goes from 9 am until 12:30 pm. I will have to figure this one out....but I am so excited and love the PPs!

Donna,

The schedule is rather full... but it is a marathon after all... lol... Each hostess will determine the time frame for their own SS. Please bear in mind that to be eligible for their SS prize you will need to meet their requirements. However, to qualify for the goodie bags you just need to get the SS completed before the close of the marathon.

Also, remember your LO's don't have to be a work of art. You just need to meet the 7 requirements to qualify for the PP. You can always go back and tweek it up before you print it.

Hope that helps... I know it is going to be a crazy busy full weekend, but I am hopeful it will be fun and productive.

Alice,

I will have the same issue, but figure if I miss the PP for a particular SS that is ok. I will still try to complete it to be eligible for the goodie bag. Church is a priority for me. We do have two services... so I may have some wiggle room.

I haven't done a marathon yet and would love to have a go. Just a quick question. In last year's 2nd anniversary challenges, to get the participation prize for a SS you had to post the layout within the deadline set by the hostess but you had 24 hours to post for it to count towards the big prize. I wondered what the rules are for the marathon. I only ask because quite a few of the SS are in the middle of the night for me and, much as I love my scrapping, I'm afraid I need my sleep more!
Really looking forward to the event. Thank you for organising it!

[jenscrap]

sorry sorry sorry - I missed your reply above which totally answers my question!

[tukogirl]

I was totally excited until I saw how many there are! Now I'm a little scared! I think I'm going to go for a half and hope for more lol.

Now that I know we have the whole marathon to complete pages for the full marathon goodie bag I think I just might try it! Is the goodie bag a total surprise or will there be a preview? I can't wait! I'm thinking of trying to tag my elements before the SS to make things easier. Hmm that should keep me busy for a week!

The goodie bags are usually a total surprise, atleast that's how it's been the last 2 marathons

Yep.. the goodie bags are a surprise... but... I will say.... you don't want to miss them. We have some awesome designers on this site and other friends who have offered surprises. I am going to work up a temptation list for you this weekend. Yes... I am going to name drop... lol...

I did add two more SS this time. They are mostly on Friday. Last year we had 49 ladies who completed the full marathon. That was an awesome number! We had soooooo much fun. I am excited to be helping organzing this year and am looking forward to the event.
