Hello there

Looking forward to meeting new people and maybe some I have already met.
So who is interested in coming to this crop? It would be great if we could have some idea of the numbers coming - so we can arrange seating etc..HERE (http://www.ukscrappers.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1538934#post1538934)
Please post any questions and chat here - I will do my best to answer them on behalf of Jan who is the organiser.

:blink: :blink: :blink: What are you saying??????????? translation pls

Sonja.B

28-12-2005, 11:31 PM

Well, im not really sure...but yicker seems to be slang for a Haydock person.....see here (http://www.plattbridger.myby.co.uk/wti/yicker.htm)

:lol:

Inky Angel

29-12-2005, 12:00 AM

I was wondering too....

Gallifrey

29-12-2005, 12:44 AM

;) Sorry, being a proper St Helens girl (Come on you Saints!! :lol: ) people from Haydock are known as "yickers." I don't know why. My sister lives in Haydock and gets called a yicker. My first teaching post was in Haydock as well.

Hi Jan

Should be easy you A580 towards M6 then turn right at the Liverpool Road exit of East Lanc (A58) follow the road until the roundabout, turn right and the church is just on your left. If you turn left just before the church there is parking.

Nina

Everything and the kitchen sink. Seriously everything that you think you will need, but only one person needs to bring sizzix machine - I can bring mine. If you have forgotten something we normaly just borrow for each other.

Nina

nanjan

02-01-2006, 01:05 PM

Hi Nina
that is great if you would bring your Sizzix it would save me carrying mine as I have lots of other stuff to take. I will just bring my dies (that is if if it is okay with you)
I accidentally unsuscribed to your thread and thought I had lost it. Looking forward to seeing you
Jan

02-01-2006, 01:15 PM

Hi Jan,

Thats great, can give some of my dies as well if you want. Also got a quickutz and a few dies for that. In the car so will just out it in back. Is there anything else you want me to bring.

Nina

nanjan

02-01-2006, 05:00 PM

Thanks Nina, I don't think there will be amything else. It is my first crop as I have only had workshops before so I am very green myself. I just want to make it as enjoyable as possible. Love Jan

Note for Jan

Hi Jan

SonjaBuk has recently Adopted me, and mentioned this Crop. I and another complete newbie (Sarah aka sarahscards) are both planning to come along. We are both "crop virgins", so looking forward to meeting you all and finding out more.

See you Saturday!

KateT

P.S. Sonja asked me to post this a few days ago and I did - but in the wrong place! Ooops, sorry! Still trying to find my way around...!

nanjan

05-01-2006, 12:22 AM

Hi Kate
You are not on your own finding your way around. I am still struggling but having fun trying. I am looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday and can't wait to see how it goes. I think we are all newbies in a way as we can always learn something new every day. I haven't done any for a while so am looking forward to this day to give me a kick up the backside ....see you Saturday then

I'm really sorry - don't think I'm going to be able to make it now :( Had a hectic week and my DD (age 5) has just been asked to try out for a gymnastics club/squad so got to go and buy a new leotard and do some food shopping before we all starve to death!

Hope you all have a fabby time :wub:

KateT

07-01-2006, 07:09 PM

Hi Ladies!

Just a quick note to say what a real pleasure it was to meet you all today. I had a wonderful time and am really looking forward to doing it all again! :D

If the Feb date does get postponed a week, as Jan suggested it might, I'll see you there. But if not I hope to see you in March.

Keep on scrapping!

Love KATE :)

nanjan

Cheers again Jan, speak soon

Marilyn

07-01-2006, 10:35 PM

Sounds you GAls had a super time. :)

What's this about postponing Feb's crop?? :(

nanjan

07-01-2006, 10:39 PM

We did have a nice time and don't panic we are not postponing Feb crop but was wondering if I should change the week as one or two couldn't make it. It would be just for that month but I am not sure if I can change the date yet. I will let the group know if I do don't worry .....Jan

Gallifrey

08-01-2006, 11:51 PM

Hiya!
Glad to see you had a good time!

I'll be looking out to check the date of your next crop!!

Elin

09-01-2006, 12:01 AM

So sad to miss all the fun! I was in Golborne on saturday - but it was my brother's wedding!! So, I'm sure my mum & her friend would be interested but they wouldn't be able to make the february one as mum's away on a cruise (again!:lol:) - so I'm just logging on so I can tell her the wheres & whens. Hopefully I'll be able to make one too when I'm down visiting!

nanjan

09-01-2006, 12:02 AM

Yes I was so nervous but the girls were so good and encouraging. I really loved it and they all seemed to enjoy it. I wish you could come too Kathie, and funny enough I was just thinking of you.....I love your LO's but I thihk it is Eleanor who makes them so lovely she is so cute.jan

hi am new to scrapbooking.could you tell me dates of your crops and venue.i live in preston.does anyone know of any other crops in this area.thanks karen

Sonja.B

12-01-2006, 08:08 PM

Hi Karen
Welcome to UKS. Where in Preston are you? Whilst I am sure that the Haydock girls will welcome you - there is a group called the Chorley Roses. We both meet once a month - when you have made 10 or more posts then you can PM (private message) any member, so I cant do that yet. Also in General scrapping there is a section called I want to be adopted, and also Smurfies Foster Home.....both are excellent palces for newbies to hang out. You will get assigned a foster 'mum' who will be able to help. Also you will get a newbie pack (adobe download) which will help guide you around the boards by explaining what hapens where etc....

15-01-2006, 04:26 PM

I won an album, I really have got to retire, or leastways, go part-time, so's I can spend more time scrapping!!

Hi Joanne

It's the Stitch and Craft Expo that weekend. But it's on for more than one day, so unless your life is ultra-full there's no excuse for missing the Crop!!!

I'm still not sure if I can make it on the 4th but I'm doing my best to make some arrangements.

Quick roll-call... WHO'S PLANNING TO BE THERE ON THE 4TH OF FEB?!

Love KATE xxx

Oh no...I had been looking out for the crop date. I cannot come on the 4th...

I hope you have a date that doesn't clash with Chorley Crop!

Bernie... I have no wish to poach you from Haydock, but if it it is easier to get to there is a crop in Chorley on the same day. I cannot PM you cos you need to make 10 posts first...but we have a thread around here somewhere! :)

Hi Kathie,
Next time the date has been changed to the 11th March so MAYBE you will be able to join us for a one off or whatever. it would be great to see you and I am sure we would all love to have you.....
