Kristen, this really cracked me up!

I think we should have a SLOW scrap marathon one of these times! I could totally handle that!

So where do you "meet" for this? I am new to Speed Scrapping. I tried to attend one recently and did not go to the right link, place or something?! Are instructions for a lost person like me to follow?!?!

Hi and welcome! If memory serves me correctly, there will be one thread created in the challenge thread for speed scrap for each time. It will say "speed scrap number xxx HERE" or something like that. The instructions will be posted within the thread. The hostess usually has a chat going on as well (I'm never able to keep up with the chatter AND scrap though. LOL).

Then, when you complete your page, you have to upload to gallery, upload to the appropriate thread for that pages theme...then post your gallery links back into that individual speed scrap thread. The big thing to remember is to go to the Minnie Marathan master thread and post your link to your page for that particular scrap....so that you get credit for all the ones you do. I love browsing that thread at the end of the weekend to just click on people's links and enjoy everyone's work!

I've already told my DH about this...he rolled his eyes but said he'd be supportive. LOL. We'll see. I'm glad it's in the triple digits here and we don't go anywhere during the summer. LOL. We've got little on the schedule except for cleaning.

I do wish it started Friday night though! I could open a bottle of wine tomorrow and even get to sleep in a bit on Saturday. hahahaha

Charlene and I are really bummed. We will be at a scrapbook convention all day Saturday and Charlene will be driving back to Atlanta from Charlotte during the Sunday speed scraps...April, we are making the crying face with you.

Thanks so much Tink for the info! I know what you mean. Brit is my fav and her SS begins at 7 am?! I do my best work when I least expect it...some time after 11pm! Have fun with it, and I always expect my DH will not understand our anticipation. He has found online forums for Volkswagens though so he is on there talking about car parts and showing me pics and i show him mine....kind of silly I know!!! Enjoy that wine...CHEERS!

Thanks JLynn for answering questions.

Your answers were spot on.

I don't want you guys missing out on the fun.

Well bummer JoAnn and Charlene. I am very happy that you guys are going to have some face to face scrappin time. That is TERRIFIC! I love hanging out with MS folks. Have a great time. We will miss you, but maybe you get a couple pages done before the close.

Also, there might be a couple other opportunties to win a little summin summin.... just tossing that out....

Bummer, but remember if you can get all 8 done by noon on Monday then you can still get the goody bag!

I'll try and complete as many of them in time, but unfortunately we have the European time difference over here and I really need some sleep at night. But I'll go for the goodiebag at least!
