ok, I broke down and made a 2nd one for the gift exchange (cause my 1st one came out so darn cute) so now I can get one CS group shot and 1 CH cluster group pic to put in both! :)
 
I got 2 frames today! 1 I have to make though! :-)
 
I have to go buy two frames tomorrow.........
 
I just got mine at Michaels - one is already made and super cute and the other one I need to glue stuff on to make it super cute! LOL!
 
I have a whole gaggle of scrap book supplies I am hoping I can come up with something.....
 
Does Wave 1 have a phone list running. I am getting packed to leave to start up north and won't be back before conference. A phone list of all the CS wave 1 folks would be great asap. I can provide my # unless we do that by PM. Who is working on the list??

Julie
 
Katie is working on that list .. you might want to PM her.....
 
Leah, What is Katie's screen name and what is her full name? I will PM her.
 
I'd like to be added to that list too...
 
Hello...
I'm katie0128 - Katie Dooley
 
You beat me too it!!!
 
Sooo, I am not coming in til Monday morning - but I'll have some downtime before conference actually starts, and I'd love to meet some of you before the MnG on Monday night - will anyone be around the hotel Monday morning? Didn't someone say there was a Starbucks in the hotel?

There is a Starbucks at the North end of the lobby. I may hit it sometime mid-morning. I'm taking Renee (my fantastic recruit) over to McCormick to pick up her packet and get on the bus to her tour. Then I'll meander a little. Maybe come back to the hotel for a few minutes.

and I have you programmed into my phone, Becky. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Ann - I am assuming that the first # you called from was your cell #, and the 2nd # (early morning call) was your home phone - correct me if I'm wrong, so I'm not waking up Dan or bugging Beaker!

You might not make the Sunday night photo, then. I'm not planning to hang around forever, because I want to get up early and get my recruit over to McC in time for her HO tour. (Of course, you know what they say about "best laid plans" :) ) I'm imagining the pic around 10:30.
 
Some of us will be there as long as the party lasts - well... not all night! :p Some of us need our beauty sleep more than others.:rolleyes:
 
What about MOnday nights meet and greet? I won't be in on sunday nights get together.

Monday'll probably be about the same. I may get down there early both nights. I don't know what my cluster has planned as far as group meals on Sun and Mon.
 
The picture frame is a great idea, I will be there with my frame, and my newest recruit,
 
I will be at both meet and greets....... I will have a picture frame as well..... I am excited to see everyone!!
