LOL I'd love that I love to have company, but I'm sure my hubby wouldn't. Shurrrr I'm still trying to convince him he can manage without me for 4 days.

well...I may or may not make it...depends on what happens tonight...my sister (whos 43 next month) and has never been a klutz before....broke her ankle...so if she has surgery, I will probably go help her out....that takes up my 'personal vacation fund' for this year....::heavy sigh:: Sometimes I think she needs a keeper more than her dog does....:shock: :bg:

I'm only 7-1/2 hours away with lots of family in the New Orleans area. That would be a great birthday gift (10/26) for me. The only downside is that I'm prohibited from any traveling for health reasons. :cry: Go, enjoy and report back to us who do not get such wonderful opportunities. Happy Stitching! Marty :cool:

I had to cancel my reservations this morning...had to make an emergency run to the vet first thing..he thinks my ferret has lymphoma (cancer of the lymph glands). We haven't even had him a year yet....so...::heavy sigh:: it's always something.

Just once in my life I would like to be able to plan ahead...I've NEVER been able to do that, something always goes wrong...always....ya know...I'm tired of it now...

Oh I'm so sorry I was looking forward to seeing you. The lady at All Brands told us they are hoping for at least 200 people to sign up. I hope it's a good show of people.

Okay Ladies, I'm all signed up. I am thrilled at the thought of going to this event. I also got a good look today at the new Singer machine and it is nice. The embroidery sewing field is larger than the Brother Pacesetters 2003. My next dream machine will be that singer. Oh my hubby just don't know he's in trouble yet. I think after this conference I'll want a new machine. But I'd never part with my Janome 9000 for sewing.

Hey Luv2so,

Hey that would be great if you could make it here for this. We are so excited. My girlfriend and I are revvvvvvvved up and ready to go and we still have two months and two weeks to go. I know I will enjoy every minute of these classes. I'll report back when it's over and let you all know what you missed. (hoping that will get you all to rethink about coming.) LOL
