NancyT Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hey Scented, glad to hear the good news. The gathering sure wouldn't be the same without you girl!!!! I've offered to do a pick up at Moonworks, so maybe while I'm there I can drag her into the car and take off with her. LOL I'm disappointed she isn't able to join us but I know what it's like when you're raising kids..........your life just isn't your own!!!!!! They have schedules too.Are you still thinking about trying to come this way? We could probably go in one vehicle, therefore splitting the cost of gas. E-mail me and we'll discuss it.

trishsmecca Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Slight hijack - I will be in Philadelphia the following week for a few days doing history tours with my son if anyone lives near the area and can give recs for the area or want to meet (will try)......I wish we could take this gathering in while up there but we do not leave camp in NC until the 17th......have fun!Trishemail is trishsmecca@yahoo.com so not to continue to hijack thread....

Scented Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Nancy, I'll let you know. I have to sit down and plan this stuff as well as figure out what I've done to my ankle at the moment. I know I had to lengthen my vacation just to have time to get out of Missouri and have a fighting chance of getting to PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Not holding out either..I'm just glad that I got everything worked out and can make it there How shameful would that be if co-chair girl was a no-show ? Abbie would never speak with me again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Quite a few new names registered the last few days - I love to meet new peeps in the industry! How exciting, less than a month and I won't go on and on about the nice donations and door prizes...but there are some really cool things for distribution! Registration ends about 10 days and hotel discount expires in 6 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 ooo new peeps eh? Hmmm ... this could be fun! Still no Birdie though eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 No Birdie...or Angela...they will be missed! I think there are a few others missing from the Freebird crowd...but they have time to register, maybe they are waiting to keep us guessing!l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyT Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I don't mind hearing you talk about our generous vendors at all........that just means I have a chance of going home with some of those goodies I'm still amazed at all the stuff you gave away last year. I don't look forward to the gathering being over and we all go home and have to wait another full year to get together again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My aunt lives in Reading ~ only a 4 1/2 hr drive away. So since I'll be in the neighborhood (and my husband is recovering really quickly from his surgery) I just completed my registration!So expect another new face! Looking forward to matching forum names with faces. Now off to the blog to ask some questions ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyT Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Judy, welcome aboard!!!! I've read so many of your posts and I'm looking forward to meeting you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyT Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Tab when do you plan to do the order pick ups at NG and OBN? I haven't found a deadline posted yet, but I may have just missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Look on the website and under the category Co-buys/Co-ops and then click on comments after the opening post and Tabatha has listed the details in the second comment. I am working on a way to have the comments open automatically because some that are not used to using blogs are missing alot of information!

NancyT Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks Abbie. I went there and got the information I needed. I also posted about the co-op/pre-buy I am doing with Moonworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbiepql Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 We may have to appoint a interim Freebird ringer. Everytime I hear that song now I think of Birdie. I took all the information from Tabatha's posts and I am crossing my fingers I did not miss anything, I need to get on those sites and see what I need...um...want.

Abbiepql Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 On the website/blog look to the right column and there is a section called categories, then click on co-ops/co-buys and you will see a "post" under that at the bottom of the post is a link that says "comments" and a number of comments is listed - click on that and if you want to add something - there will be an open place to leave a comment at the bottom, as long as it does not contain links or a URL it will publish immediately - if it has a link I have to approve it - and I will - that is to keep spamers out.

Judy, USMC Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm passing by Candle Science on the way up and can bring your orders to the gathering. You should be able to read the posted details in the Co-op/Co-Buy page of the blog/website once the post is moderated. Until then here's the basic info so you can start your wish lists ... FO, additives, equipment is fine. Please contact me (PM here or email addy on the Lights&Lather blog) before you order wax. Order deadline is July 13th. CS has to charge sales tax on pickup orders unless you have a North Carolina tax ID.See you soon! Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbiepql Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 But...add up the shipping you are saving and how it nice it is to get it all at one time. I have been saving up for ordering - so far I am saving over $50 and I am not done planning yet. Of course there is the cost of the gathering, but that is a "not to be missed fun event" and totally tax deductible for me (I am not a tax professional). I am so psyched that we have so many willing to do pick ups - awesome deal and very nice of them to volunteer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyUh oh ... so what if I have a Kansas tax ID number lol ... can I place an order for pick up and you just pretend you're me? I have to stop looking at this section because I simply have NO ROOM!
