Wow, what a weekend to be gone! I'll be in WDW so I'll be doing the next best Disney thing to speed scrapping at MouseScrappers! Have fun everyone! It's killing me that I won't get some of those great participation prizes!!!

We'll be driving home from Vermont on Friday, so it looks like I'll be able to participate in a couple of the SS's! Yay!

I am hoping to make a few of these. My Dad has decided last minute to stop in for the weekend on his way to Cape Cod, so I can't be a bad daughter and ignore him all weekend.

Omigosh! I am so going to try to do them all! Am I really that crazy? It'll take a little organisational skills, but I think I should be able to at least come close to doing it!

Let's see
- notebook for writing down credits for each LO
- casseroles so DH and DS won't starve
- plenty of water to keep me hydrated and alert
- photos organised into logical categories
- digikits organised into logical categories

Yeah, I can do that. 2 hours in between starts is going to be interesting and turn it into a true speed scrap for me! Can't wait to give it a shot!

I am so disappointed that I have to work 11-8 PT on Sunday. Hope to be able
to do some of the saturday speed scraps, though. Can't wait to check out the
gallery when I get off work on sunday to see what everybody has done!

Time difference for me is 13 hours so I won't get to play.
Have fun tho!

Just a quick question Emma....

I'm making a schedule for myself with start and post times and as I was looking at the individual SS posts I noticed that some of the post times were 4 hours from the start time (first direction) rather than 4 hours from the last direction (which is what I thought we usually did). Just wanted to be sure it, just in case it is different for the marathon and I missed it (which wouldn't be unusual).

Say for ET. With a start time of 7AM the last direction is given by 8AM. So should the post time be 11AM (4 hours from start) or 12 PM (4 hours from last direction as we seem to have been doing)?

We have a lot of new people participating and figured someone might be wondering the same exact thing.

Again to you, all the hosts, and all the designers who contributed to the pp's and the grab bags!!! It's going to be an amazing weekend. Now my family will hopefully cooperate!

Thanks for the questions Monica

I am going to email the hosts today just to remind them of a few things so I will add this to my email.

I read back over the instructions for the speed scraps to see what we have been doing

They read as follows

There will be 7 instructions in total.
The first will be posted on the hour.
The second at ten past.
Third at twenty past.
Fourth at half past.
Fifth at twenty to.
Sixth at ten to.
The final instruction on the close of the hour.
Then you will have 4 hours to finish your layout and post to the gallery and relevant thread to claim your prize.
If you join late don’t worry that you missed the start you can still play just get follow the rules for your layout and get it uploaded before the deadline.

So I make that 5 hours total, 1 hour for instruction and giving 4 hours for finishing up and posting. We gave this big window so paper scrappers could try and participate if they wanted. So using your example a ss starting at 7am would finish at 12.

Hope this helps clear things up adn I will ensure all hosts are on the same page.
