I just received my box and opened it. It is packed! The book is 120 pages. The C&C gift is used for stencils. I won’t say more because I don’t want to spoil it for others.
This is my 5th event and by far the most stuff ever! Ranger was extremely generous with product as was Stamps of Life. I am just going through the book now to see the projects. I see a few that I will change up to suit my taste, but the products included are good and very useable.
It’s a huge amount of stuff for the price we paid.

My box arrived a few hours ago, I'm going to start opening it up some time this evening. After the past few sneaks (which didn't do a thing for me), I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic about the contents and classes. I'm also still on a PF high, and want to continue playing with all those things for while more.  Anyone have a frame of mind they get into while doing the homework? And feel like sharing how you get through it with a positive attitude? During prep for last fall, I felt myself getting bogged down by it after a while. |

After the past few sneaks (which didn't do a thing for me), I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic about the contents and classes. After looking thru the book, I was pleasantly surprised at how many classes I was sure were gonna be duds turned out to look very salvageable with different colors/arrangements…even Brutus Monroe. I absolutely LOVE the Lawn Fawn cards. Something I never thought I’d say. I cannot wait to make those cards and send them to my BFFs 5yr old daughter. There is one class where my first thought was WTF but I appreciate they were trying to go for a masculine vibe to give us variety. |

Well, I pretty much take everything back that I said above. All I’ve done so far is pile everything on the counter, and thumbed through the (120 page) book. There’s 3, maybe 4 classes that I’m *eh* about, but the rest look great and I’m happy.
Organizing and inventorying all this stuff is gonna take some work 😉

HOLY CRAP! My box just got delivered. The ENTIRE box is packed with supplies. The spiral bound book is twice as thick as previous books. I have a meeting that starts in 15 minutes so I can't dig thru it but I did get the book out. So the C&C gift...what is it?  I honestly have no idea what it is used for. Have you figured it out yet? PM me if you haven’t. They are actually designed for another use, and I refuse to pay full price for one, so I thought I’d try and find one from someone who has passed needing it anymore. |

I start with the goodies and just imagine how I would use them or if is something I see myself using at all. And at the end I look thru the book. |

I'm on the waitlist. Fingers crossed I can get in! Hoping there is one of those boxes available for you! How far from Toronto are you? (Just for an estimate of how long it would take for the box to get to you)
Did you put your name in for the April Papecrafting C&C as well?

My box was put on the truck at 9:15, which seems a little on the late side, but they still say it'll be here by 7!

Hi marg, In the email from SCT that was dated February 21 there was a section towards the end that was titled Pre-class Work. In there the 10 to 12 hours of prep work was mentioned. I know I spent a good bit of time on prep work last time and that was when they said it would take a couple of hours. If they’re saying 10-12 hours I can’t imagine how long it will really take me. Good thing I love the prep work! Oh, and also good that I’m retired now! 😊 The first couple of events I didn't do the prep work and the last one I am glad I did. Even when I didn't do the classes live, it was very helpful to have the prep work done. |

I’m in California. I’ve gotten in off the waitlist before so I have hope! I’m already signed up for April. ;-) |

Still waiting for my box. Supposed to be here by 7 PM.
I seem to have come down with something, not feeling too hot right now. Hoping it’s just allergies.

My mom's allergies hit hard and early this year, so I hope so too!
I am elated by the honey bee project. I have some similar focal images from them that I haven't used yet. Can't wait to hear her tips and instructions!

After a panic attack when I went to track my package and found the message "Address not found", then another one saying "accepted at front door" at an address in a different town, and a frantic waiting on hold at Purelator, I found out my box was dropped off at our local courier drop off center. Dh brought it home with him when he got home from town. (I had frantically texted him to check before he came home).
I have flippped through the book. Will need to sort the class bags in order by class they go with....

Ok, I've sorted all the supplies into their mesh envelopes, and I'm only missing one item from the Berry Sweet class, not too bad! Thinking of different ways to use the products if I'm not a fan of the classes as shown. That said, I have a couple of kits, as well as several unused kits from the fall C+C that need new homes. If you or a friend might be interested in seeing the list, please PM me privately.

It was all extremely generous. I’m hoping there are some coordinating dies I can buy for a few things. I would say there about 4 classes that I’m not excited about but the rest are great.
I really like spellbinders, Gina k, concord and 9th, lawn Fawn, taylored expression, LDRS, I’m intrigued by Ranger, I actually like what we gif from Brutus Monroe, I like Altenew, honeybee, and I’m also intrigued to try the stamps of life. Scrapbook.com had some cute stuff.

I am also missing one item for the Berry Sweet class. I haven't delved into the card stock and I didn't open every package, but it looks mostly whole. The Berry Sweet items weren't really kitted, so the missing item was obvious.

I marked up the ToC of the book with days and times and marked each bag/baggie/envelope of stuff with date and time and PAGE NUMBER. i didn't see the page number for the class in the book in any of the files people had made and shared on FB. That kind of surprised me.

If everyone is missing that, I'm going to guess it's not missing but that they forgot to remove it from the kit supply list. I believe they are posting the box contents list tomorrow. Thought I read that somewhere. |

Couldn't find that or the "polymer clay jar" in the LDRS list. The rest is all sorted and in my sticker stadium. Still need to put class labels on, but each brand of product has a separate bag, so should be easy to pull out when needed. |

We think “The polymer clay jar” is the little jar of pieces for the shaker card. The pieces are probably made of polymer. The description was very confusing!

I honestly have no idea what it is used for.
