We couldn't have done it without you.<br />
<br />
We would also like to thank the stores, companies and people who contributed to our incredible door prizes. <br />
I will post those names here soon.<br />
<br />
Thank you to Jessie who put together the classes and fun activities. Even with a few hiccups, she was always fun and cheery. Just don't say the word "Mahjong" anywhere near her.<br />
<br />
Thank you to Donna for arranging all of our travel administration. In addition, Donna kept us grounded and on-track during our meetings by threatening to throw shrimp at us when veered off topic.<br />
<br />
There is no way I can thank myself since that is just weird. However, I want to say that doing the newsletters, posting on this blog and writing the meeting minutes was fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. In addition, it helped to counteract the mind numbing effect of cartoons on my brain.<br />
<br />
On behalf of Jessie, Donna and myself, thank you everyone.<br />
<br />
Celina<br />

Welcome home from your fabulous cruise. Donna and Jessie told me that everyone had a lovely time. What wonderful news!<br />
<br />
At the same time, I am sad that I had to cancel. I loved all our Sailing with Scissors cruises, even the ones that gave me motion sickness. Ha ha. I'm afraid that my mom's health is declining and my daughter was given a surgery date during our cruise. Of course, we had issues with the surgery and it was postponed until May. The good news is that it went well. <br />
<br />
Thank you for all your well wishes, thoughtful gifts and lovely cards. I really missed seeing our newbie Sailing with Scissors friends as well as our past cruisers. I'm getting choked up just typing this now. <br />
<br />
You are all the sweetest people. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness. I wish all of you love and good health.<br />
<br />
Hugs<br />
Celina <br />

We have three Barbs (and two Donnas) joining us on our wonderful cruise. In order to reduce confusion, please use the first initial of your last names when you place your name on your swaps, or entering contests.<br />

I just checked and the last name initials are all different. Phew! What a relief.<br />

Please make 35 cards for the swap. You can make your cards any size, shape or style. Don't worry if you are a beginner card maker. Your Sailing with Scissors friends will be glad you participated. Simple cards, complicated cards or "anything in between cards" are welcome. Please don't sign the inside of the card because your swap pals may use the cards to send to their family/friends. Instead, please place a post it note on the back of the card with your first and last name (we have three Barbs in our group) and email address if you wish to remain in contact with your cruise friends.<br />
In addition, I will be posting all cards on this blog so the whole world can admire your creativity.<br />
Cheers<br />

Our Group is now Closed!Hello Sailing with Scissors Friends<br />
It's official this time. We are sold out. We had a few rooms become available because of people having to cancel because of medical and family issues. However, these spots have now been booked.<br />
<br />
To mark this happy (record number of friends booking with us) and sad (no more room) occasion, Jessie and I ate our favourite shrimp. Donna doesn't like shrimp. <br />

<br />
Jessie has had a few questions about the swaps we will doing on our fabulous cruise, so here is the scoop:<br />
<br />
Please make 35 cards for the card swap. This swap will be capped at 35 participants.<br />
<br />
Please make 25 tags for the technique tag swap. We would like to have more people join us for this fun swap. If we do get more interest, we will update the blog.<br />
***Also, please email Jessie which technique you wish to do. In this way, we won't have any duplicate techniques.<br />
<br />
Please only bring one new embellishment (or one new package) with a value of $5 for the embellie swap. Jessie had a great idea to update our old wood mount game from the past.<br />
<br />
Everyone is registered for the free Make And Take which will be awesome. Please also come to the marshmallow game. It is also free and you will receive items that you will need for your classes.<br />
No marshmallows were harmed in the development of this game which does not really involve marshmallows. <br />
<br />
Don't worry about sending in trivia questions about yourselves. Jessie will be switching up this game.<br />
<br />
Any questions? Please email Jessie.<br />
<br />
I'm soooo excited!!<br />

Can you believe we are less than 1 month away from sailing on our wonderful cruise? I can hardly believe it myself.<br />
Just in case this is your first time joining Sailing with Scissors, please note you will receive a newsletter each evening filled with interesting stamping and cardmaking tips. They are lots of fun.<br />

I had a couple of inquiries about the blush brush to bring for the class. This brush is a makeup brush that you can find at the cosmetic counter of your favourite drug store. In fact you can buy them at your local dollar store. Here are a few pics that may help you out:<br />

<br />
Here are a few more updates:<br />
<br />
We still have room available. If you know anyone who has been hemming and hawing about Sailing with Scissors, tell him or her to contact Donna. <br />
<br />
Please make the number of cards and technique tags indicated on the information sheet mailed to you. Even if more people book the cruise, we will still be fine.<br />
<br />
Regarding the instructions for the tags, please place your name on the instructions so we all know who made which fabulous technique. Please also try to make your instructions the same size as your tag. It will look neater. However, if your instructions are lengthy, don't worry about it. Make them as long as necessary. Also, please paper clip each instruction to each tag. Jessie has a fun way of doing a more permanent adhesion but that's a surprise.<br />
<br />
Here is some new news:<br />
<br />
<b>We will do a group photo after the last formal night dinner.</b> We will find a staircase somewhere on the lovely ship to take some great group photos. Hopefully, the cruise dancing staff don't decide to break out in a musical number on the same staircase like they did in Hawaii. Yikes!<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, please feel free to email anyone of us at any time. We are here for you!<br />
Hugs<br />

Can believe we are only three months away until we sail away for a fun filled coastal cruise aboard the Star Princess? Not only will we have a fun time with our group, but we will have fun meeting new people, seeing new sites and enjoying all the fun amenities on this wonderful cruise.<br />
See you soon<br />

Castle Sewing Centre has three Scan N Cuts in their inventory at this moment. Our incredibly fabulous travel agent, Donna, is also a Scan N Cut expert for Castle's Sewing. She can give you a very cool demonstration.<br />
Here is a very cool fact about Castle's Sewing. If you buy any type of machine from their store, the employees will give you tutorials on how to operate your machine for as long as you own it. I had three tutorials on how to work the automatic threader on my sewing machine. The really nice customer service person told me to call them if I have trouble with any other feature of my sewing machine. Whoa! You don't get service like this anywhere, now a days. <br />
You Rock - Castle Sewing Centre!<br />

We have had a few members inquire about classes and free events. I'm afraid we haven't hammered out several details of the schedule such as dates or times. However, here is a sneak peek of all the classes and free events. Our fabulous Jessie Hurley will be teaching all the classes for our group. <br />
<br />
Please feel free to email Jessie at <span style="color: red;">jhcherish@gmail.com</span> for the classes you would like to take. <br />
-The classes are $35 plus taxes. After you make your selections, Jessie will email you a Pay Pal Invoice. <i>Upon receipt of the invoice, please pay your classes. </i><br />
-Please choose a minimum of 2 classes.<br />
-You will make 3 cards in each class.<br />
-Please also email Jessie with your selection of free events. We need to know how many kits to organize.<br />
-If you do not have a credit card or can not pay for your classes on-line, please email Jessie at the email address above and she can make alternative arrangements.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>CLASSES:</u></i></b><br />
<b>Faux Leather Technique </b>- Jessie shows you how to make cards with the look of leather. No animal is hurt in the making of this class.<br />
<b>Zendoodle/Maximizing Use of Dies</b> - You may remember a lovely swap card made by our alumni friend, Karen B. It was a dress with a cool Zendoodle design. Karen learned the technique from Jessie. Several people showed an interest in this card so Jessie is going to teach it on our cruise. I took Jessie's Zendoodle class at Donna's house and just loved the cards we made. I highly recommend it.<br />
<b>Inka Gold Wash </b>- Do you have a few pots of Inka Gold that have dried out? Don't throw them away! This class shows you how to use the dried Inka Gold to create a beautiful watercolour wash.<br />
<b>Glitter Painting with Stamps - </b>Whoa! This sounds fun. Create glittery goodness with your stamps. <br />
<b>Mystery Card Class - </b>Learn a cool new mysterious card making technique. What does it involve? What materials will you use? Only our fearless teacher, Jessie Hurley, knows. Sounds intriguing, for sure.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>FREE EVENTS:</u></i></b><br />
<b>Marshmallow Throwing Game </b>- Thanks to partners in crime, Dianne and Charlene who suggested this hilarious game. We won't be throwing marshmallows. Instead, we will be throwing around fun card crafting objects. <br />
<b>Beautiful Embellie Swap</b> - Each participant will choose $5 worth of her favourite new embellishment to swap. The embellishment has to be one of your faves. In fact, you will have a little card attached to your embellishment that states "I love this embellishment because..."<br />
<b>Card Swap</b> - Everyone loves the card swaps. This isn't just for experienced card makers. If you are new to card making, give this a go - you will have fun. <i>We are structuring this card swap a little differently than in the past. Everyone who participates will get a card from every other participant. We promise!</i><br />
<b>Technique Tag Swap</b> - Each person will make a sample technique tag, using the Ranger Inkssentials #8 tags, with an explanation as to how she did the technique. We will hole punch each technique and each person will get all the techniques gathered on a ring for future reference. How cool is that! <br />
<b>Make N' Take - </b>Our wonderful Jessie will be hosting a fabulous make n' take. OK, we don't know the details but if Jessie is involved, you will love it!<br />
<br />

Hello Sailing with Scissors Chums!<br />
<br />
Our organizers met last week to hammer out details of our new Sailing with Scissors Coastal Cruise. We have read all the participation surveys completed by our members from the Alaskan 2014 cruise and we were blown away by all the useful tips, suggestions and ideas. In fact, we are implementing several of these ideas in our upcoming cruise.<br />
<br />
Instead of giving you the "Same Ol', Same Ol'", we are updating our free events as well as adding more fun free group activities. Do the phrases "Swap-A-Palooza" and "Marshmallow Toss" peak your interest? Stay tuned for these and other fun goodies.<br />
<br />
Speaking of goodies, we are keeping a few favourite goodies that everyone loves. We all love the goodie bags bursting with cardmaking goodness, the pre and after make n' take events at our favourite local stamping stores, the informative newsletters and the classes.<br />
<br />
Keeping all this in mind, <b>please bring an extra suitcase</b>. You will need it for all the fun cardmaking prizes and goodies you will receive as a member of our group. <br />
<br />
Hugs<br />
Celina<br />
