[NYSapphire]

Thank you so much for making this happen - I am inspired again and working on my stuff again all because of each and every one of you that made this happen!! Thank you!

Adding my thanks and appreciation to the long list! I had so much fun, and had been away from my Disney scrapping for too long - thank you to the designers, hosts, and coordinators who made this marathon possible. You guys rock!

To the organisers, hosts, and the people who have donated prizes.

A HUGE THANK YOU from the land downunder.

My other half has now learnt to ignore me while I am busy doing a scrap marathon.

Everytime I do an a page I learn a little bit more. I have seen some lovely kits that have been used and I am off to try to find them for my collection.

Again a HUGE THANK YOU

Yes thank you to everyone who made this possible! The designers, the sponsors, the admins, etc. It is such a win-win, not only did we earn incredible freebies but it's the gift that keeps on giving because of all the great layouts in the gallery! Thanks guys!

Thank you, Melinda for putting this "show" together. We are all so grateful.

To all of the talented designers--thank you for sharing your talent! It's so generous of you to give away that talent for our enjoyment.

Last, but not least, thanks to Carol, who makes this all possible, by providing the most magical of all places to gather & share our love of scrapbooking.

I feel so blessed to be a small part of it.

Oh my, I don't know how I missed this thread! First and foremost, I want to again express my heartfelt thanks to Melinda for organizing this entire party all by herself! She is humble about the credit she deserves as there is a ton of work she does behind the scenes - lots of communication and coordination. She is a fantastic event planner with lots of fresh ideas to keep everyone engaged - and she is always fair to both designers and participants. She's also been a wonderful sounding board for all the wonderful ladies who donated prizes and time (hosting, creating, etc). Thank you so much Melinda!

While I joined in on all but one chat, I was only able to finish a couple of layouts. (creative block!) So I won't get to see the goodie bags (Melinda and I play by the rules, too!), but I hear they are absolutely wonderful and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed something to it. I'd also like to give my sincere thanks to all the hosts and those who donated SS prizes - I really appreciate your time... I know it takes a lot of time before, during and after to run each one!

Finally, thanks to the MS community for stopping in to play this weekend. I hope you had fun!

I think I sent each hostess a thank you, but I would also like to say thanks here! This weekend was a blast, and I got EIGHT pages done for our last trip! Amazing since I don't think I have made eight pages this entire year! It was fun to forget about designing for a little while and do something for myself! And now my book is almost finished!

And a special thanks to Melinda, who so tirelessly puts so much time and effort in to make this all happen. I know how much work it is to organize an event like this, and it isn't easy! So thanks, Melinda! You deserve the goody bag even if you didn't finish all of the layouts!

I want to say thanks to everyone involved in the marathon this weekend! It was my first real marathon and it was a challenge for me but I;m so glad I stuck through it til the end.

The prizes are amazing, the designers involved are all to notch and I'm happy to say I discovered some new designsers this weekend and I can't wait to check out those shops! All of your generosity and talent is so appreciated. Thank You!!

Thank you to Carol and Melinda for making it all happen- I know an awful lot goes into an event like this behind the scenes, and I am grateful for having the opportunity to play along.

To all MS members, friends, scrappers- thank you too for your help, support and love left on my layouts. As I continue to grow and develop my skills I hope to participate more! Thanks for making it FUN! This is an awesome community!

Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to make this Speed Scrap happen! This was the first time I had ever done anything like this. I was totally exhausted by the end! It was definitely a challenge, but I really appreciated trying different styles and ideas.
Thank you SO much!!
