I didn't receive a shipping notice. I do have an account for UPS. My box is scheduled for this Friday! It left IL yesterday on it's way to CA.
Anyone can set up an UPS account. Then click Tracking, then Shipments (or something like that). Then click Shipping Details on the package and it will tell you where your package is.
ETA: I received shipping notices for the other C&C's.

I have not been in the FB group in about 2 weeks, so I have no idea what other participants are discussing. I do have a shipping notice that my box will be here tomorrow. Hurrah. Busy on Saturday, but I’ll be diving into it on Sunday, and will poke my head into the FB group after that.
I’m looking forward to the last weekend of the month❣️

I was just coming to post about Meghann's peek. I love her stuff and am so excited. Glad her coupon can be used after the full reveal.

The one thing I hope is in the box is the engraved stamping block that we didn't get at the last event because it didn't come in time.

I love the new sneak. I hope so too pinklady. I was so bummed that they didn't have it for the last time. Wouldn't be awesome if they sent that one too with this package? I can always hope and dream 😆 |

Sorry to hear you won't join the fun CardBoxer . Hows your shoulder? Still giving you trouble? And how are the kitties? OT I don’t want to hijack the thread, but thanks for asking! Shoulder is better in some ways, complication (AVN) in another. Magic 8 Ball says uh oh, tbd. The two orangies are doing great, and after a re-check for Theo by his veterinary nephrologist, even better than expected, other than the vet threatening to steal him. I hope your little dog is happy and doing well too. 💕 |

Mine's coming tomorrow and I'm not usually a peeker but there have been good points made here about getting the homework done in advance and checking to make sure that I have everything so I guess I'm a peeker now.  |

This isn’t spoiling anything because you can tell from the peek…but the spellbinders class has A LOT of tiny dies that need to be cut and assembled. This is going to take A LOT of time (especially if you like dimension and stack your die cuts) and should definitely be done prior to class. I anticipate a couple of hours of homework just for this class. |

Mine came. They outdid themselves… again! W.O.W.
I just glanced at everything and then put it all back in the box. I’ll open it again for the unboxing and make sure nothing is missing.

Well, mine got here Thursday and I still haven’t opened it. I feel like I need a good chunk of time to open, then go over to catch up on the last few weeks on FB to see what I missed. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. Or maybe not even until Tuesday. 🙄 I know if I do it when I’ve got other things going on, they’ll go by the wayside while I do the deep dive. AKA: Michy has no self control.

I’m happy with everything - I just glanced at them quickly. Can’t wait for them to show us their thoughts on how to use them.
I will probably start the homework after the unboxing on the 21st. Every weekend is full with family stuff until the 30th, so I won’t have time to delve in until then.

Ok, I opened my box. Without spoiling anything, I was happy to see an item that happens to be in my shopping basket right now at an online retailer was included Quick question before I dive in. How many big ziploc bags of supplies did you receive? I had 5. And is there a checklist to be sure everything that should be included is in fact there? It doesn't seem to be included in the spiral bound booklet.
Thanks! ETA: ok, so I turned over the postcard at the top of the box with info on the large packages. So ignore the question about the number of ziplocs But I'm still curious if there's an overall list of items, or just by classes?Ignore this all please So, for those of you who have opened, without spoiling, is there a particular class you're really excited about? If so, which one(s)? |

They haven't provided that in the past, but have verbally gone thru each one during the unboxing.

The way they do it now is much better. Regarding a list. Last session they provided a "Event Box Content" list after the un-boxing. As for a class that I'm excited about...All of them! |

I'm most excited about the Spellbinders and Taylored Expressions classes.
There's a lot of coloring of images for this event and I'm not a colorer. I don't have Copics where I'm able to blend three similar colors together. I have a Studio 71 alcohol marker set (48 markers) I got for really cheap on Amazon so I'm going to use those. I was going link them here but they are over $50 now. (I know I DID NOT spend that much on them.)
I really want to get the homework done over the next couple of weekends. I want to get all the die cutting and if possible all the stamping/coloring done before class.
I really like the cards for Megan Andrew's Elle's Studio class. I can't wait for all those Friday class sneak peeks.
I also had one item we got in the goodie bag in my cart and I've been eyeing another item. I'm pretty happy with the goodie bag.

Spellbinders is the only bag I really opened and looked through so far. Super excited about it. I still haven’t been back to the FB page. I’m so unfamiliar with FB these days (I’ve been off it for years), and I’m afraid to inundated with info. Other than homework, There’s nothing else really of interest there, is there? Didn’t someone mention that there’s an ink list (as in other brand’s colors that might work) somewhere. Am I remembering That correctly? Also, pinklady, have you tried using colored pencils and gamsol? For now I’m still holding off on any copics or other alcohol pens (mainly because I have full-set-syndrome and this is so not a good time to get involved with that outlay of $$$. I really am loving the pencils and gamsol, and for my artist friend using them now too! I think a big challenge for me will not be to open and USE some of the stuff that was sent! PS: during the classes is there a way to make a sidebar for us peas to chat and roll our collective eyes at some of the crazy people participating? You girls cracked me up on the spring thread chatting about them a bit. Lastly: if y’all didn’t notice, there’s a thread in the scrapbook side about the fall card exchange if anyone is interested in joining in! Would be fun to see some of the cards from the classes out in circulation, yes? |

Would be fun to see some of the cards from the classes out in circulation, yes? The instructor meet-n-greets right after each class are held on FB. All announcements and reference info is under the Guides tab at the top of the page. Photo albums will be made for each class under the Photos tab. A lot of people make exactly what the instructor makes, but some don’t, especially weeks and months later. Some participants make helpful info sheets, like all the discount programs on a spread sheet with the amounts and dates, which vary a lot. Those are mostly under the Files section mostly. I think the lead up sessions to the event were on FB, and all of the Friday bonus classes. Unless something has changed, the unboxing will be on FB too. I hated creating a FB account, but made one under a different name and a yahoo account. I rarely look at account. I just looked and in the last eight or so months there have been four emails, two from FB about updating a policy and a couple from Yahoo offering upgrades. Another pea suggested I do that. The SCT folks are very accommodating in case you wanted to change your email/user name. |

Holy cow! I am astounded at the info/PSFs for the Friday classes! I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with even one of those. I'm excited for the Simon Hurley class - I'd like to try some of his cards.
I've printed everything off - will need to take some serious time to get everything together and make sure I have what I need.
I should have taken Monday off too. LOL.
We should set up Microsoft Teams on our computers so we can chat while all this is going on!
