Scrapstudio & Scrap-a-Ganza 2007 & Commenting

Hey all,

It's time for a little reflection, I think. I've been busy yesterday and I'm waiting for more news about a certain event.

Scrapstudio
I've been working hard on my scrapstudio yesterday. I couldn't believe how much trash I've collected in one year time. It's very good that I had planned to rearrange everything. This forces me to clean up and throw away things that are really trash. And no, I'm not throwing away scrap supplies. I hang to these until, in a few years time, I have finally seen the light and discover that I don't these particular peft overs (*grin*).
Anyway, as I said in a previous post, I needed to move several things to other (shorter) shelves in my closet, because these things were weighing too much for the long shelves. I'm in the middle of that process now and it's going okay. I do need to find a proper place to store all my albums, though. Right now I'm keeping them all in the scrapcloset, but that's not an ideal solution. The shelve for those albums is full, so I need to look for something else....
During the move, I'm also moving embellishments from the vegetable jars into the new jars I have bought. I will keep the vegetable jars, though. You never know what they might come in handy for! I'm trying to arrange the embellishments by colors and sorts. I'm storing all the ribbons and fibers from one color into one jar. That way it's easy to find and I think the different shades of that one color do look very nice! There's so much left to do. I think I'll be busy with it this whole week every evening. Well, I do have to work in daytime, so unfortunately I can't work on my scrapstudio during the day........

Scrap-a-Ganza 2007
About two weeks ago we received a newsletter from the Scrap-a-Ganza team telling us they were really busy organizing the event for this year and that they hoped to have the site, including all the workshops, ready about the middle of last week. Scrap-a-Ganza is from June 1 up to June 3. It all begins Friday evening and it last until Sunday late in the afternoon (well, at least that was the case last year).
Those of use who have been to Scrap-a-Ganza previous editions have a week of pre-registration. That's awesome of course! But, we have to register AND PAY before March 15 to receive a registration gift. And this is not only thruth for the early birds, but also for all the others who want to come. So, right now we're living February 26, the site still isn't done and the registration deadline for the gift hasn't changed yet. How are they going to do that? If they're taking a really long time to finish the site, the ones who can't register now, won't even have a chance to register and pay in time for the gift. That's not fair!
I really hope they'll have the site up and running today or tomorrow and that they will extend the registration deadline. It's only fair to the others.
Anyway, Bianca and I are going. And my mom is coming too! Anyone of you going? It would be fun to actually see some people who read my blog. Let me know!

Commenting
Just in case I wasn't clear in one of my previous post. You CAN comment, but all comments have to wait for approval by me at the moment. Don't think I won't do it, 'cause I love getting comments, so I'll approve them and try to answer to all your comments! But it may take a few hours up to a day until your comment has been approved. If you have a Typekey identity, please sign with that and once you've finished your comment, please push "post" instead of "preview". That way I can set you to "Trusted commenter" and all your future comments will automatically be displayed.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is the only work around I know at the moment. I hope someone in the Movabletype community can help me with the particular problems I'm having with the comments.

Talk to you later!

Hey Wendy,

Yes, it is great! I'll show pictures later on. And hey, maybe you'll be able to do this some time in the future too! Just keep your fingers crossed!

Your scrapstudio sounds great! Oh so jealous:)

Thanks in advance for leaving your comments. I'll try to respond to your e-mail as soon as possible, but I don't always have the time to respond quickly. Don't think I didn't appreciate your comment, though. I highly appreciate it!

If you're using Typekey, please don't press the "Preview" button, instead press the "Post" button. There's still a minor bug in MT which causes the preview to loose the typekey data. If you press post your data will not be lost and your comment will be posted immediately!

(If you haven't left a comment here before, you may need to be approved by the site owner before your comment will appear. Until then, it won't appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)
