I'm foaming at the mouth for some pp previews....

So excited! I am mostly free (darn those kids birthday parties). I still hope to finish most of them and the Minnie Marathon.
I am trying to get my friend who is new to digi scrapbooking to join in.

I made an excel spreadsheet to checkoff and thought that I would share, but I am not sure how to since I don't have a share site set-up. I know not everyone has excel, but that was what I have . So, PM me and I will send it to you.

Mary Kate,

Each SS will have a specific time to get a LO complted to be eligible for that SS prize. The time frame will be up to each hostess and will be included in their instructions.

For the goodie bag... you will need to complete all 8 Speed Scraps... whether you get the SS prize or not. All LO's will need to be completed by Monday, 12:00 noon EST.

For example... my SS may have a 4 hour window to be eligible for PP that Chelle has donated. You may not be able to get your page done within that window, but you did get it done 12 hours later... You will miss out on Chelle's SS prize, but you get to count the page towards the goodie bag.

Clear as mud? Let me know if you have additional questions.

Bottom line... you might miss out on the individual Speed Scrap prizes, but keep scrapping... you want to complete all 8 so you can get the yummy goodie bag.

Can't wait to share!

Can someone please workout the times for Australia.

I can work out a rough idea, but would like to be spot on. Your Sunday is our Monday -which means work

[jr4mni]

As I started preparing myideas and photos for the marathon, I really, really have to get my 4 traditional albums done. They are big eye sores just calling to me everytime I go into my home office. I have almost all of the pictures printed for those albums.

Then a crazy idea popped into my head. Maybe I could get some traditional pages done during the marathon?????

Anyone do traditional pages during the craziness of a marathon? I think I might entertain the idea.

I'll get those times for you later tonight. I am off to work now, but happy to do this tonight. My DH and all his family are from Australia, so I am very familiar with your time zone.

Sounds like a plan. It might be a little more challenging, but you can always write the hostess if a step isn't traditional friendly. I'm sure together you could come up with an alternative. Good luck. I can't wait to hear how it works out.

Yes, very clear. Just wanted to know what was needed to get the goodie bag. I forgot about individual prizes. LOL!

I hope some of the hosts make them slow speed scraps. I'll be in the car driving back from the beach most of Saturday
