So, they are actually two different times (one for winter, one for summer).

If you don't get all that, then it's okay and not worth any brainpower.

I had no clue it was two different things. I say EST all year long. haha. learn something new every day!!

Yeah! Now I know again what to do when I can't sleep at night the coming weekend!

No serious I haven't done a page in ages so that Will be a real challenge. And good to know you girls have changes Your clocks already! I already was counting my Hours out xD now I have like Marieke an hour less difference!

And Cynthia : you are a trimester with Your fabuleus tracking sheet! Thanks for predating it for us!

Same here, I just figured EST applied to all year long, even though our times changed. i didn't realize that it changed us to EDT half of the year (technically). Oh well. I have enough trouble converting the times if someone doesn't post EST (or now apparently EDT).

I'm glad the rest of you knew this! Sorry Romajo for not giving you the correct technical answer. I guess a few of us learned something new this week!

I wish I was as organized as you! I just finished my spreadsheet though! It's a good idea to make sure meals are taken care of. My family may hear the dreaded YOYO this weekend! They aren't fans of YOYO!

Not sure how many I can get done with my taxi service still being needed this weekend! lol

I'm excited though. I'd be happy to get some pages done--any pages done!

I made up a spreadsheet for myself last night (Paul is impressed with my organizational skills! LoL). Then I realized I have to take my dad to the doctors tomorrow, but fortunately it's before the first SS, so I'll be back in time! I totally forgot about plans Paul and I made for Sunday to go to the speedway, so I'm hoping we have crap weather this weekend so things get cancelled (or it's too cold for me to sit out in the open. Shhhh...don't tell him I said that! LoL).

Now time to go through my CDs and figure out what kits I want to use to scrap what with and check it against my list of things I want to scrap....my template CDs are ready and waiting!

So excited to participate again this year. I have not scrapped a single layout for 2015 and it is time to get back into the swing of things!!!!

So have you checked out the Marathon Expo located here? Did you see the awesome group of Designers who have made donations to our party? It is totally cool if you want to make comments in that forum. I so appreciate our Sponsors and Designers who have so generously donated goodies to make our weekend special. I look forward to scrapping, chatting, seeing our gallery bubbling over with inspiration, playing games and sharing the goodie bags with you.

I hope you will remember these Designers when it comes shopping time. I think it is important to support the Designers who help support us.

I also love the opportunity to give back. Give Kids The World is an amazing organization. I've seen the facility first hand and it warms my heart knowing the difference they are making for these children and their families. It is a blessing to these kids and they are making lasting memories together. I am happy to support this cause in whatever way I can. No amount is too small. Let's play it forward!

Now as I have said before... make sure you Java is updated, get your menus planned and get some rest.... so you will be able to come play!

I have a few more things to post before the event gets started, so keep checking in.

quick questions ladies. Do you remember how long we have to finish out LO at each speed scrap? For the life of me I can't remember if it was before the new one started or later that day

Sandy,

The time allotted for each is up to the individual hostess. They will announce how long you have when they post their formal instructions.

Remember even if you miss out on the SS Prize, you still need to complete it to be eligible for the goodie bags.'

Hope that helps!

I have my niece's christening this weekend but am going to try to at least get all the pages created and get to as many chats as I can! So excited to complete a pile of pages from my trips!
