I got home late last night.
~ I had to participate in a game. A game called 'chubby bunny'!
OMG! That is just too funny! I was there last night and saw everyone playing 'chubby bunny'! At least you made it to 2nd!
I also had my name called - twice actually. The first time for a stamping kit and the second time for the banana/orange game! I think I was the most embarrassed person in the room because I had absolutely no idea why my name was called and just jumped out of my seat! Little did I know that we had to do something to win and then I had no idea what we were playing for. The poor women at my table (and the 2 from other tables) never had a chance. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even play!
I won the stamping kit early in the night. It was a breast cancer survivor's kit - actually could be used for overcoming any challenge - it was just sooo weird because I am a bc survivor still battling away and when I got to the announcer I said, 'that's too funny - I'm a survivor!' (I have never won anything before.) She asked 'can I tell them?" and I said sure. It was nice to have people clapping and smiling at me.
We did 4 classes and 2 crops. All the classes were well done - altho our favorite was a 3-D scapebook presented by SEI and a 2-page layout with acrylic by Lickeysplit. We did the crop on Thursday and Friday night. The Thursday crop was just too fast and I would have preferred to just work on my own things.
Next year we plan on staying for the full 3 nights (versus 2) and only going on the vendor floor on Friday. It was so nice being able to walk the floor and look at what each vendor had to offer. Today it was just too difficult to get through and the lines were just too long. I also think we will skip the Thursday night crop and do a class or two. I'm sitting at home wishing I was getting ready for the Saturday night crop.
This was my third year going and I do think it gets better each year. (Even the food and bathroom situations were much better than last year!) The only issue we had was that they moved our reservation from the Scanticon to the Radisson even though the reservation was made 8 months ago. Not a big deal other than having to walk back and forth between the hotels. Now I just have to finish all the different projects I bought!
