Sweet Shoppe Convention

[Mandy]

In light of all the little videos I'm seeing here, would it not be awesome to have a Sweet Shoppe convention for us all to get together and meet and talk digi?
Maybe some day we can do that. I know with the economy it'd be hard for most of us to take the extra money to travel and stuff, but from seeing the videos and glimpsing into some of your personalities I bet we'd get along awesome!

[MandaBean]

I'm voting for Atlanta! :)

[newfiemountiewife]

I would love that, no matter where it is, it'll be REALLY far for me. LOL

[digideb]

If it's Atlanta, I'm TOTALLY there (since it's only 45 minutes away)!!!!! :thumbup: I even have 2 spare bedrooms!

[iJenny]

I'm thinking Denver would be good. :p I mean, Lynette, me, Lizzy... its a win-win situation for everyone! :D

[Mandy]

Well I was thinking more along the lines of St. Louis since it's central. LOL
And the zoo is free. :p

[Sarah8914]

I went to St. Louis last summer!

[Libby Pritchett]

HA! I'm with Mandy, I'd do St. Louis. lol (wouldn't be opposed to Atlanta though)

[Melissa Bennett]

Well I think our Nation's Capital (DC) would be best!! Plus our zoo is free too!! :p

[kscwgirl]

St Louis is 5 hours from me, but you know, if we want to get really CENTRAL... I live in the middle of the US, people. :D

[Paula]

Hey I am ALL for traveling anywhere as long as I can leave this podunk town! LMAO

[chastml]

DH and I have been talking about taking a trip and STL is on our list. :thumbup:

[ZaCola3]

Ohhh St.Louis or Atlanta would be AWESOME for me....I'm not *that* far from either...but ohhh how I hate to travel.

[FlirtatiousBrat]

I think Atlanta trumps Denver..I mean Manda, Deb, MEEEE, a few more ga girls lol plus you got Heather, Amanda, Melissa? in nearby Nashville....

[jessica31876]

I would suggest Orlando but heck even I dont wanna be here LOL. Atlanta would be not to far to drive though

[crystalbella77]

I'm down with Nashville or St. Louis! unless someone want to come to Indianapolis???? lol

[FlirtatiousBrat]

I would suggest Orlando but heck even I dont wanna be here LOL. Atlanta would be not to far to drive though

CHA is in Orlando this summer!

[jessica31876]

I had to look that up to see what it was and figured it would be at the Convention Center and it was. I would love to go to that but I HATE going to the area the convention center is in. Traffic is a nightmare because it is in the middle of one of the busiest roads in Orlando. CHA is in Orlando this summer!

[lizzyfizzy]

road trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[digideb]

I definitely have to agree w/Meg! :) lol

[pewtertm]

St Louis is 5 hours from me, but you know, if we want to get really CENTRAL... I live in the middle of the US, people. :D

LOL, central sounds good to me...just not in the middle of summer...it gets HOT here!

[Mandy]

LOL, central sounds good to me...just not in the middle of summer...it gets HOT here!

That's very true.
Maybe we should have it in Forks, WA.
LOL

[rachaelsscraps]

We need a New England convention, then too!!!! :)

[Nettio]

The summers are pretty mild in Denver. :D

[nesser1981]

All my family lives in or near Atlanta. I need to go there sometime so my Granny can see my kids. She's never seen them.

[aggiefamily]

I know a beach house we could stay at! ;) Anyone up for the Houston area?

[schock77]

Why not make it a vacation and come to the live music capital of the world? Austin baby! Of course... if it were somewhere else, maybe I'd be forced to leave the kids with DH and get away... hmmm.........

[Paula]

I know a beach house we could stay at! ;) Anyone up for the Houston area?

Oh yea girl!! That would be PERFECT for me!!

[emmasmommy]

I'm totally going to St. Louis AND Indiana this summer. You girls are teasing me and getting me all excited!

[SirScrapalot]

We need a New England convention, then too!!!! :)

I agree Rachael...there's you, me, Grier....

who else are my out east folks?

[sammi]

I'm in NewEngland...but would travel just about anywhere! :)

[switchwiz]

I'm down with Nashville or St. Louis! unless someone want to come to Indianapolis???? lol
Indy sounds perfect I'm only 3 hours away

[pewtertm]

That's very true.
Maybe we should have it in Forks, WA.
LOL

Spent the night there several years ago. Would LOVE to go back...let me get rich and I'll pick Sharon Kay up and we'll head that direction!

[pewtertm]

I know a beach house we could stay at! ;) Anyone up for the Houston area?

Oh, that would work for me too! I've got a free room at my mom's house LOL.

[kim21673]

My vote is for Chicago...STL will do too!!!

[emmasmommy]

Indy sounds perfect I'm only 3 hours away


I'm totally 3 hours from Indy too! :blink:

[emmasmommy]

My vote is for Chicago...STL will do too!!!

Heck! That's even better...45 minutes for me!:thumbup:

[rachaelsscraps]

I agree Rachael...there's you, me, Grier....

who else are my out east folks?

Susan from Scrapkitchen is too- and a couple of others on the board :thumbup: (wish I could remember their names!!)

[rachaelsscraps]

I'm in NewEngland...but would travel just about anywhere! :)

Sammi, I saw when you were TOTM that you're a Vermont girl! Me too!!!! (bennington)

[mormishmom]

That's very true.

LOL

:thumbup::thumbup:

[HeatherKS]

St Louis is 5 hours from me, but you know, if we want to get really CENTRAL... I live in the middle of the US, people. :D

What she said! :thumbup:

Though St. Louis is drivable for me too . . . ;)

[MelissaL88]

I'm flexible. I could do any of the cities mentioned.

[Stacey42]

DC is a great place! Lots of stuff to do in DC...the Smithsonian, the Zoo, the White House..all those monuments to visit....plenty of hotels to host a gathering....

[Amber1279]

Everyone knows that SSD is based in Arizona :D That is where is needs to be. We should do it in the Winter so you can all escape your snow, wind & rain :)

[Leah]

I'm going to vote somewhere relatively central! LOL

[suze]

Well I was thinking more along the lines of St. Louis since it's central. LOL
And the zoo is free. :p

I love the sound of st louis! I would be right there... I'm moving to Kansas City... but still about 4 hours out that's it.

[joelsgirl]

Since the economy's so bad, let's plan for next summer...when I'm in America! Or if you do a convention before then, you must promise to have another one while I'm home, kay? And I woudl travel ANYwhere in America to meet you gals!

Totally agree with Kellie!

My 10 year reunion is this year, and we're moving and I've already got to go to DC to get my car.

Next year would be better for me too. LOL!

[digideb]

Yeah, we're going on a 2 week road trip to California this summer for my brothers wedding this summer. Nothing planned for next summer yet though & that'd give us plenty of time to save!

[lovely1m]

I vote for Minneapolis! Its central if you include Canada. Plus there's a free zoo there, too. :)

[rachaelsscraps]

I totally agree with next year!!!! I can't really travel much anymore now that I'm in the 3rd trimester! :)

[rach3975]

I'd be all over something in the mid-Atlantic or New England. I don't think I'd be able to make anything farther away than that.

If we're doing it next summer, it'll have to be close to me for me to come, because next June is our big two week Disney trip and I'll have no more vacation and also probably no more money. :blink:

[tinajoygarner]

That's very true.
Maybe we should have it in Forks, WA.
LOL

Please??!! lol:thumbup::wub::w00t::o

[my3hens]

I agree a new england one would be doable for me. I dont think I live far from Lauren actually. She lives near my inlaws anyway.

[suze]

maybe if they did it somewhere... some of the further girlies could carpool with others.

[alien21xx]

Just remember to video the convention to share with us overseas fans :D

[SaraAmarie]

Denver sounds great..

[marnel]

I'd love the New England area also ;) close to me and very do-able...

[emilyscout]

I could do New England too! I live in the midst of it :)

[pbumbaca]

I think Boston is a great location, so much history, La and I are only an hour drive, plus there's Emily, and Susan, and a few other gals that live close.

[rachaelsscraps]

I'd be all for Boston!!!! There's Quincy Market, the Boston Aquarium and more awesome stuffs to do there!!!! Plus, I'm only a couple hours away, and my Aunt lives there!!!!

[rachaelsscraps]

I hate to say it, but we could always plan a couple of them... that way if some can't make it to one location, they can always make it to the other. KWIM? Of course there will be those lucky ones too that'll make it to both! :p

[Rae's World]

I vote NOT in Phoenix!!!! too hot here! You should really do like 4-5 different conventions. Split by regions. West Coast, MidWest, MidEast and East Coast. Or something like that. I would not mind driving to Colorado, Utah or Cali. Just not here. Even though there are 7 here. Defiantly a fun idea though!

Yeah, but we could do it in the fall or something when it's cold everywhere else! And Phoenix is the closest of those mentioned for me!

[Sharon Kay]

How about Kansas City? I've got a hotel here that said they would give us rooms with 2 double beds for $60 a night (share a room = $30 a night)...and they will throw in a free conference room! We're kinda centrally located here!

[Sharon Kay]

Spent the night there several years ago. Would LOVE to go back...let me get rich and I'll pick Sharon Kay up and we'll head that direction!

Ok...with that kind of offer...count me in with Stacy!

[Sharon Kay]

I know a beach house we could stay at! ;) Anyone up for the Houston area?

Ok! I'll pick Stacy up on the way down there!
